Well we finally got our appointment. The consulate put us on ice for 15 months then gave us 3 days notice to be at the interview on Friday! We're excited, but apparently there are a lot of people posting in Facebook groups that the consulate in CDJ is doing two-day interviews. The first day they just take your documents and fingerprints, then the second day they give you the actual interview.
Not only does this seem really dumb, but if Friday is day 1, that means she needs to go back 4 days later on Tuesday due to the long weekend. Has anyone heard about this? Maybe we're misunderstanding? Everything I have read for the last 3 years leads me to believe that there's only one interview appointment and they do everything then.
The consular website has a link where you have to "register your appointment" and set up your biometric appointment, so we're hoping that the fingerprint appointment is day 1 and then we're done on Friday. The site doesn't work, so that's something else we're working on.
