    My wife and I are still awaiting our approval (our PD was Oct 2nd, 2019) but didn't even know if the consulate was taking interviews at this time. We were under the impression they were still shutdown during covid?

    The way I hear it is they are understaffed. I called NVC and that's exactly what they say at the beginning of the message is that NVC is understaffed. I know the consulate in Mexico is still operating not sure how slowly due to covid. You must check whatever consulate you are going to have your interview at. Those are my suggestions.

    Yes CDJ really began to slow down for spousals in 2018/2019.  We were initially 5 months to an appointment but moved it up 3 months because we watched for cancellations.

    Thank you for sharing. So far everything has been norm time frames 

    But now to see how long it'll be for appointment to consulate. I think Its starting to speed up. I will share any updates for all.

    The only positive thing that will come out of them taking forever to assign interviews is that you will probably end up with an IR1 visa (10 years) instead of the CR1 (2 years).  This embassy is causing USCIS to lose money.  Instead of being able to charge visa applicants twice CR1 and IR1 they will only be able to charge once for IR1.  It is to their benefit to speed these interviews up.  

     

    Looks like your 2 year anniversary is in April so if you get an interview in February or March I would recommend waiting until the day after your 2nd anniversary to cross the POE so you can get an IR1.  

    Thank you for advice i didnt think of it. So focused on being together and getting this process over with.

    unfortunately the wait is currently at 5 to 7 months :( (it took me 5 and a half months but my CC was in March, I noticed that it got increasingly slower after that)  I've seen people wait up to 7 months 

    priority date is only relevant for LPRs and not citizens, and I noticed that those of us that waited in Mexico had to wait longer... 

     

     

     

    Thank you for info. Sad

    I just want to thank everyone here on visa journey for helping us through this long journey.  Our journey has finally come to an end.  At least until its time for ROC LOL.

     

    Here is our experience at the interview last week in Juarez;

     

    My wife had her interview on Friday, October 12th@9:15 am.  They let her into the consulate at 8:00 am with no problems.  She said they put her in the green chairs right away.  It was a very cold, cloudy and rainy day.  There were not a whole lot of people in line throughout the morning which i thought was odd given that it is taking 6 months to get an interview scheduled.  When her turn came they asked; Who is petitioning you?  Have you visited the USA before?  When was the last time you visited the USA?  How did you guys meet? (Your story together), What is your name?  They collected all her documentation.  The lady interviewing her went to go talk to her boss behind the window.  My wife was a medical expedite.  She started to pull out a yellow piece of paper instead of green which made her nervous.  The lady came back to the window and told my wife, " your visa has been approved, the only thing is that since you are a very special case you will need to pick up your visa here at the embassy tomorrow morning."

     

    We went to Espadas Brazilian Churrascaria for a celebratory lunch and I reserved another night at mesa luna hotel.  In the middle of our lunch the lady called from the consulate to tell her that her visa was ready!!!  So we ran out of Espadas in the middle of our lunch and to the consulate before it closed at 1:00 pm   After we picked up the visa we headed back to Espadas to finish our lunch.  At around 3:00 pm I took my wife to the pedestrian part of Zaragoza Bridge to cross for the first time.  I crossed in my car on the same bridge, parked in a neighborhood close to the border and walked 15 min in the rain all the way back to the border.  I highly recommend not crossing at Zaragoza as they don't have a place to park on the USA side and the Mexican officials charge people to come and go into mexico.  $3.50 dollars per car and .60 cents per pedestrian.   By 5:30 pm she was able to cross.  She and other first time visa holders had to wait over an hour for an official from USCIS to attend their paperwork.  

     

    We both walked in the pouring rain to my car and headed off to Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso to hang out.  After that we crossed back into Juarez by car on the Cordoba Bridge (free of charge).  On Saturday, October 13th we crossed into El Paso again through Cordoba Bridge and off we went home to Tucson, AZ.  Overall we had a great experience in Juarez and her at the consulate.  

    How long from CC to interview in cd juarez?
