Wow thank you for sharing your experience. I highly appreciate that and may God bless you.  How long did they say it will take for him to receive the green card?

They didn’t say or my husband doesn’t remember but most people say it takes 2 months. Once approved they will add a temporary visa for 6 months so if you wanted to travel you will be fine.

Hi how did the interview go? What questions were asked?

Hello,

it went really well for my husband they only asked him 6 questions. What is your name? When did you enter? You don’t remember where you entered? Is this your first marriage? Do you have children? How did you meet your wife ? And that’s it’s. My husband was 13 when he came on his own so the officer did lead that question of saying you don’t remember. I know it’s not always the case for many. My husband overheard people similar to him having 15-20 questions. He heard officers ask do you have daca? Show me your daca identifications? Where do your wife/husband work? Do you have tattoos? When did you get married ? How long have you known to it wife/husband? Many of the questions are simple so don’t be nervous. One thing my husband said is that we have read and been told that it’s scary and the officers are mean and intimidating. He said it’s only intimidating if you don’t follow the directions and they yell at you. If they say go into the blue chair do that don’t go around. Be ready have documents ready. We literally took so many documents and they didn’t ask him for any. All he had to show was the marriage certificate , the medical envelope, his police certificate from Mexico. Be honest and don’t lie remember that they have all the information. They don’t want our sob stories Because the process of extremely hard and difficult but they just want you to answer what they ask. Make sure you are truthful of your entrance but be careful on what you say. We know someone that was punished for 3 years for saying she was scared and told her 2 friends to come with her. They said it was like human trafficking so yes she is back in the U.S but she was banned for 3 years. Good luck and don’t be afraid and if you are still waiting be patient it is almost over. You will have peace and joy soon. God bless! 

Does anyone know what interview questions they asked?

 Our cc was on January 2019 and we just received our interview for January 7th, 2020. My husband has daca and I know the key thing that people say is to not worry and be honest but it’s very scary. He came on his own when he was 13 and doesn’t remember a lot but I’m worried that him not remembering will be a problem. If anyone has had an interview please let me know what questions they asked? 
 

also, we have waited 11 months for interview date and receiving this letter was a crazy amount of emotions for everyone waiting it will get there be patient.
 

Hello! Anyone gotten an interview for Mexico. My husband and I had a CC 1/17/19 I was just wondering if anyone knew which CC were getting interview dates. I know each day the timeline keep getting delayed but just curious to know if anyone has been receiving their interview dates.

My lawyer calling tmr again , she been promised to talk to someone higher then phone answering nobody 

Will see 

 

We got approved on January 2016 after an RFE but have been in the process since 2013. Everyone’s process has been delayed we were the unlucky ones to file during the Trump administration but we need to be hopeful and we will eventually be done with everything.

Sorry i havent updated.  We just got back this weekend.  Interview was ok.  They asked basic personal info (birthdate, marriage date, etc).  They mostly asked questions about how my husband got into the us illegally.   Asking the same questions in different ways trying to see if there are any lies or fraud in the story.  Interview was only 15-20 min.  U must bring ds 260, 601a approval, and any other forms that u submitted.  Even if they are from ten years ago.  They do like it if u speak to the interviewer in english.  Show that u are adjusting to the us lifestyle. I understand being anxious but there really isnt a reason to be.  Just be straightfoward and honest.  U dont have to pay any fees as the embassy but u do have to pay some fee online before reentering the us.  Our lawyer did that for us.  Good luck!   Keep us posted

Hi thank you so much for your reply. I know I keep telling myself it’s going to Be okay but im worried about the question about entering the US. My husband came at 13 and I just want him to be okay answering that. Like I don’t know what is right I’m glad you told me about the English part because he was debating on that and wanted to do it in English but then was like what if they will think bad of me for doing it in English. I don’t know we are clearly overthinking but again thank you so much and glad you guys are back! Congrats!

Hey guys.  Just an update.  Our interview date is schedule for sept 24

How did it go? I’m not sure if you responded already on the thread. My husband and I are still waiting for interview date we think it will be coming soon maybe a letter this month. Still so anxious about the interview though.

Had anyone seen or heard if they got an interview date from a case complete from Jan 2019. I know it’s taking a long time but just wondering if anyone has gotten an interview date with the same or close enough cc. ? 

Please let us know how your interview went. Many of us still waiting for the actual appointment. If you google Mexico reviews consulate visa journey you should be able to see what people have said withe their interview experience. 

Hi! So for me I wrote an additional declaration letter and had subheading for each part they requested more evidence. It was around 5-6 pages and I stated for that section : I shared about my anxiety and how I have lived my whole life in the U.S I talked about not being familiar with Mexico and not speaking Spanish fluently and how I would clearly be seen as an American. I talked about being afraid that I would be used to hurt my family in the U.S I also provided articles of the places I could possibly live in Mexico. I am

mexican and have an aunt in Monterrey and another aunt in Mexico City I provided articles of the dangers in those cities. I also talked about access to doctors and how I won’t have that in Mexico. I do take anti depressants and visit a therapist once a week and I would be in danger if I went over there not having access to them. I hope this helps. Im not sure if your lawyer is telling to write a declaration letter but if you do whatever you write in it make sure you have things that support it. I talked about professional hardship and had two of my bosses write letters for me. I talked about family hardship so I had my dad and brother write a letter since they didn’t in the first packet (I had my mom and sister write one on the first packet). 

What are the Facebook groups that you guys use to see other people’s interview experience? 

I got and RFE  and cried had multiple panic

attacks they did the same and wanted evidence on everything I literally thought it was the end and after turning everything in from the 30 day request 2 weeks we got the approval. This was Aug 2018 RFE. We are still waiting for our interview. Let me know what you gave them for more evidence . We sent out a psych evaluation that I never did in the beginning. Sent it 2 letters from my employers (higher up people), additional letters from family who were not part of in the beginning of the packet. It’s easy to feel like it is the end of the world and I can tell you that’s how I felt still remember the day we got the letter so let your feelings feel but also know it’s going to be okay. 

Thank you. This clarifies a lot. 

Hi! Has anyone heard from their lawyers or what is going to happen. There articles written in March about Trump closing all consulates starting with Juarez, Mexico. They want to close it by June 30th. Does anyone know any info on this and if this happens where will the interviews be held. I get that interviews will be delayed more now if that really does happen.

Did they ask you how you came into the U.S?

Thank you!! Just posted on that forum. 

Hello, 

I had a question about the interview. I know there is no script but do they use the information from your packet to ask questions? 

My husband and I have a difficult case. We got a very complicated RFE. I have dual citizenship. I was born in Mexico and I am requesting a waiver for my husband who is also from Mexico. The RFE stated to have more information based on hardship and credibility. It wasn't believed that I would leave to Mexico with him and also staying in the u.s. Is what I would choose since I make more money than him. We sent a psych report which was never sent in the beginning (I know big mistake). 

I know we haven't gotten approved but I am being hopeful that we provided a good RFE packet to get approved. The RFE requested more evidence supporting scenerio a) hardship if I stay in the U.S. without my husband and b) hardship if I leave and live in Mexico with him. We sent a new declaration letter supporting hardship. Talked about religious beliefs, family separation, safety, mental health. We sent a psych report with an assessment. Additional letter from family. I am a teacher so we also talked about wage differences and my principal wrote a letter and my co worker as well. Our original packet was highly picked at by the officer. I am hopeful that our packet is good enough to be approved but now I am scared about the interview for my husband. 

  I know I am thinking ahead since most people are saying that it is taking 6-7 months for an interview. I am worried that the questions will be regarding getting an RFE or asking about me being Mexican? Does anyone have a similar story as mine. I make more money than him so we focused more on the emotional and psychological health that I am experiencing currently that will experience if I leave with my husband to Mexico and also if I stay here without him. Just wondering if anyone has something similar. 

Thank you for listening. 

The RFE stated that I need to prove hardship in scenerio a) hardship staying in The U.S without my husband b) hardship if I live in Mexico with my husband.

I rewrote my declaration stating the hardships of both scenerios. Talked about my profession as a teacher and the support for mental health, religious beliefs,  provided psych evaluation report. Additional letter from my principal and colleagues. Letters written from parents and siblings.
