Ciudad Juárez Urgent Question

[Tavotevi 9]

Calling Juarez gets you different answers because they give out misinformation all the time.

Call the NVC to get your CDJ case#, if you did not get it when calling Juarez.

Juarez will send the USC and the beneficiary in Mexico a letter. If the only one that receives it is the USC, it can be mailed or scanned and emailed and printed out by the beneficiary in Mexico. It does not have to be the original. The letter you receive points you to the sites where the instructions, forms and place to schedule your appointment and interview is. The letter is the only 'packet' you will receive.

You do not have to wait for the letter to begin filling out forms and scheduling appointments. The letter will be needed by the K-1 applicant at their ASC, medical and interview in Juarez, along with the confirmation page from the DS-160. if you do not receive it before going to Juarez, you can get the letter printed out from the information window at the consulate before going to your medical and appointments.

If you want to allow Juarez time to send you the letter, then wait a couple weeks, then schedule your appointments for a few weeks down the road. That should give you a month or more to receive it. If you still did not, then you really can get one printed out at the consulate's info window.

Here are the forms: http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/fianceforms.html ,

instructions (very important to follow and they explain a lot): http://photos.state.gov/libraries/ciudadjuarez/231771/PDFs/k1k4dec13.pdf ,

schedule interview and ASC: http://mexico.usvisa-info.com , and

CDJ info: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Mexico&cty=Juarez

While waiting, you can read through the reviews to see how the procedure works and what documents were needed by others applying for a K-1: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Mexico&cty=&dfilter=5

NOTE> Please be aware that the instructions have not been updated since the visa processing fee went up. It is no longer $240. It is now $265. I believe it will tell you the current fee on the website where you pay.

It can take up to 4-6 weeks to receive the letter.
