[Haydee 0]

Hello everyone, i am in the waiting time for getting my interwiew appoiment since Sept. 5th 2006, because at the mexican consulate (CDJ) it takes around 12 months, but i was wondering if anyone knows of any case that hasnt had to wait the complete 12 months? and get the interview sooner, also if anyone could tell me if once i get the appoiment my husband ( he is the american citizen) can go inside to the consulate with me or i have to go there by myself ?

Thank you

CR1/IR1 interviews are still taking 12-14 months in CDJ. The USC cannot attend.

Hello Haydee,

Our case was forwarded to CDJ in June 2006. In late April of 2007 we received our appointment letter stating our appointment would be June 7, 2007.

My wife's case was approved and we are now home!

I would say judging by your timeline you will probably be notified in July or early August as to when your appointment will be. Whoever was assigned as your choice of agent (form DS-3032) will get the notification...most likely your husband.

Spouses are not allowed inside the consulate, on rare occassions they may request the presence of the spouse if an issue comes up during the interview that can only be clarified by the spouse.

My wife's interview was scheduled for 7:30AM, we got in line at 6:30AM, I waited with her until the consulate started letting people in at 7:30, then I waited across the street until I saw her physically go into the consulate. I then walked back to our motel and waited. Lots of people choose to wait across the street in front of the consulate, but with our motel only a 5 minute walk away I felt it was not necessary. I told my wife if I was needed to simply call me from the payphone outside the consulate and I would come RUNNING! I showed back up at the consulate at 2:30PM and my wife walked out 15 minutes later. Later at the POE (point of entry) we spoke to some folks who said they didn't get out of the consulate until 5PM.

One important detail about CDJ, where you are in line in the morning does not determine what order you will be called in. You can be the last person to get in line and stand as good a chance to be called first as the person who got in line at 4:30 in the morning. No food or drinks are allowed inside the consulate, but you can buy them inside.

Later in the afternoon, after having a late celabratory lunch at Frida's, we took a taxi to our assigned POE to get her Passport stamped. If you choose to enter the US through El Paso, you must enter through the POE they assign to you (there are 3 in El Paso), otherwise you can enter through any POE along the border.

Please feel free to message me directly if you have any questions.

Hello, My case was received at CDJ Sept. 7 2006 and we are still waiting for the interview date too! We arent expecting to get the interview before Sept. If you get yours sooner can you please post the date so I know when we should expect ours since our dates are so close. I will do the same when we find out our interview date.
