So cash or credit/debit??

[Mrsgil 1]

Although I've read that for the most part everyone's experience has been quiet...I'm still wondering most of information in regards to the medical and consulate say that they do accept credit/debit cards...does anyone know whether this is true?? I just don't like the thought of walking around with so much cash or having to leave it a the hotel

No, the consulate fees are paid but I know my husband will have to pay for his medical and it says on their info. For all 3 clinics in Juarez that they take debit/credit but I'm unsure whether this is true...I'd feel safer not carrying all that cash around

That probably varies from country to country and even from clinic to clinic. To get the best and most accurate answer, call the clinic where your husband will have his medical and ask them.

Hi yes they do accept debit card/credit card practicly everywhere there, and they also have tons of atms. my husband paid his medical with our debit card and there were no problems at all. everywhere he went (food, store, medical, etc.) they accepted his visa card with no issues.

cash. but you can definately pay fees by CC.....

I have no idea why but its taking so long and it makes me so nervous. They said a week but I'm worried about it now I keep calling.

I know this doesn't apply in your case since you are an IR-1/CR-1 but I have a friend of mine going through the K-1 process for his fiancé and they had an interview on 7/10 but haven't received the passport, documents, and visa just yet. They are still in Juarez as of today but hang in there and stay positive. I also waited a week until there was movement from the package (DHL waybill number) when I was there with my fiancé (wife) just this past January!

Everything will be fine however. "Patience is a virtue".

Suerte, Gera
