It takes about a month for the letter to be sent....... they don't send a package anymore just a letter

So they just send the letter that is the "open invitation" and we are able to go?? So then I can start getting all the information together for the "packet" which is supplied online?? Once the letter is received we can go down for the medical exams, schedule the interview and hope for a positive outcome??

Our application was received at this consulate last week. If I am not mistaken, the consulate in Mexico will now conduct their name check and once this is complete they will mail out our packets. How long have some of you waited in the past once your application was received from at the Consulate, to your packets being sent??? Thanks all!!

When is the name check done??? At what part of the process is this and how lon does it take???

Thanks everyone for your KIND words!!!! I sure hope to have great details and updates in the coming days.... Hopefully leading to me getting the chance to have her here finally in the very near future!!! Again everyone thanks!!!!!

I am pretty sure it is the approval letter... I-797 Notice type Approval Notice... Forwarding to NVC... Called them today and they have my file and said it will be out of their office in a few days and forwarded to the consulate Ciudad Juarez. Am I misinformed?? Am I not looking at this right???

Hello to all on this board!!! I am sure I share the same thoughts, dreams and admirations as many of you do. Little history.... I spent the last year of my life in Cabo San Lucas where I had the pleasure of meeting my fiance. It has been a struggle being away from her, and on January 29, 2009 we filed our I-129F. I received the approval letter on March 16th!!!! Now I guess we are in the waiting game of the time to get to the NVC, the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez and then our interview.

This site has been wonderful in allowing us to gain information as to what to expect and good information on "how to's" to better prepare ourselves for this next step in the process. Hopefully all goes well....

I just hope that the process from here on out is timely and goes smoothly!!! I just want to bring her here so we can begin the next chapter of our lives together... I want it now, now, NOW!!! lol

GREAT site and I look forward to hearing others stories and successes....
