Hi The Best and The Brightest,

We have a coyote/counselor. He says that normally the fingerprinting/photo email invitation comes a few hours after the initial interview email. Well, 5 days later still no email. Yes, I checked my spam box (but glad you asked). He says we shouldn't worry too much, because as soon as we had our first contact with him on Friday, he created an account at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-mx/iv/schedule so that when we arrive in Ciudad Juarez, a few days before, if there is still no official fingerprinting/photo appointment, he can work it out directly with the people there. He says there will not be a problem because they will see that we immediately created an account, thereby showing our due diligence and good will.

As you know getting a green card is an onerous, costly project. We now have nightmare scenarios floating in our minds: We purchase plane tickets, reserve a room, go to Ciudad Warez then get rejected because we will not have obtained the necessary fingerprints and photos.

Kindly help us to unravel this Gordian Knot. We are 2 seniors in our 70's, crushed and exhausted by this process. Show us a little light at the end of the tunnel please!

Hi,

Our K1 application was marked as Ready within the CEAC system and received by the CDJ consultate on June 18, 2025 (5 weeks ago). We received our K1-FTP letter but it did not have any instructions on how to schedule an interview. We have not heard anything back since that point and don't know what to do from here. We created an account in the AIS system, and completed the DS-160 form and it says that our case is not ready for an interview yet but we are unsure what else to do. Can anyone provide some insight as to what the next step is? Will we receive an email from the CDJ consulate with interview appointment instructions? How long does that take?

Thanks so much for your help!

First Post!

Hopefully I won't be alone here

Submitted online and received receipt June 3rd.

Wanted to submit June 2nd but the updated drivers for my scanner are buggy and set me back.

Waiting for biometrics notice which people seem to be getting anywhere from 1-3 days.

3 year rule, 90 days early.

Green card date is actually months earlier, but due to some long trips after entry, we didn't want to risk anything, so followed the advice of OldUser and waited.

Hello Folks, thank you for reading and for your help every step of this journey.

I hit a snag in my process and I don t know how worried I should be. I got my interview today and I passed all the civic questions today , the problem came when they checked my taxes as the payment plan I had with the IRS had stopped. The officer was kind and told me i passed everything else but was unable to give me a final answer. She will request my taxes from the last 5 years and a letter that says i have set a payment plan. Now , how long will this set me back? Is it ok if i just provide my tax transcripts and a letter that shows i have a new payment plan. Im working on that with the IRS.
My feelings are all over the place and i dont know how worried i should be.

has anyone been in a similar situation?

thank you.
