  1. The good ol folks at 703# today said it may be another 2-3 weeks. They explained that when you go back to the consulate it's like you start the countdown over and each time it can be up to 3 weeks. Mind you, we've already been here 2 and a half weeks.

      No, we're not living on the streets yet. We have just enough funds to make it up to the US to live on the streets- I mean, no the beneficiary will not become a public charge. And yes, I think we're just waiting for them to send the visa out.

  2. CASI!!!!! Robe went to the consulate this morning super early. They made him wait in the information line and get a pass to enter the consulate. Once inside he waited in another line to enter and they gave him a number and he waited some more. Almost 4 hours later he was called up to one of the windows, they found his file and confirmed that his fingerprints were not in there. They had him put one finger on a digital reader, took both his blue papers that he's bee...

      this whole experience has really embittered me towards "the man" like never before. Now I remember why I ran away to Mexico in the first place! And they say Mexico's the one with the corrupt government, I would have much preferred paying a mordita than paying this eternal hotel bill.

      Well the hotel started out costing $45 a nite with a promo code I had and for some weird coincidence they raised their rates on the weekends and then the weekdays too little by little as we've been here. Now we're paying $75 a nite (WITH my discount still)on this 16th nite. I don't want to do the math... we've spent money that we don't have and we'll just have to work it out when we get back- what else can we do??! Physically we're just fine but th...

      been using to enter the DHL building and told him that he'd receive the visa at DHL today or tomorrow. When he asked how he was going to enter without the blue papers they told him it wasn't their problem and shut the window. We're headed to DHL now.

  5. Car is fixed and we finally got the envelope from DHL! It contains a letter saying he needs to return to the consulate (not ASC) and re-do his fingerprints... So he had his interview Thurs. 3-24, this letter is dated Mon. 3-28 and is postmarked Sat 4-2.

  6. In Cuidad Juarez, so far so good. We'll find out tomorrow what's going on with this ASC.

      AND they scheduled the interview for the following day for us, I also assumed they would want more days in between but as I said they were scheduled together and I thought they new what they were doing. I think they learned to allow 48 hours AFTER this past week of getting things all messed up. No packet at DHL today so we'll send Robe to the crazy line in the morning to ask for information.

  7. Robe arrived 7am for his interview scheduled at 8:15. They let him into the consulate area where you are not permitted to bring anything with you including food, water or phone. Then they made him wait until just before 5pm, he was the last person called, almost 10 hours later. His interview was brief and it turned out that we had everything they needed. Then they tell him his fingerprint results were not showing up on their computer and wanted to know if he had gone to an ASC appointment...

      ...there. Meanwhile we pay for an indefinite amount of days in the hotel while they fumble around like idiots. Not to mention my own personal reasons for needing my family to be together right now. What a load of bullshit. If this was any other company other than the US government they would be out of business by now with this kind of substandard level of service.

      ...when he said that he had they tell him he has to wait until Monday to see if they show up and if not he needs to schedule another appointment. On his way out they gave him a slip to register DHL delivery location which we already did. Then they said he could check tomorrow if he wants. I'm even more pissed and confused than ever. What more do they want from us? We followed their system to the letter and it still wasn't enough despite the fact that the important information is all t...

  9. ASC appointment went well also. Robe said they were really nice. Did not want the two passport style photos, took one with their camera. Looked at the DS-260 and 160 and said they were both fine (not sure what that means). 5 minutes later he was done!

  10. This site changed a lot over the weekend. Seems easier now but where's the ASC locations and phone numbers? http://mexico.usvisa-info.com/en-MX/selfservice/us_before_you_apply

      Just filled out the DS 160... wow, they ask a lot of silly questions!!! Paid the MRV fee... Now we're trying to make an appointment for the ASC and it's not working!!! I feel like the site has been under construction AS we're using it, things keep popping up and disappearing. Ugggg.... I'll let you know when we get this straightened out!!

  11. Consulate has our Petition- my fiancé's invitation should be sent between 3/22 & 4/19. Also, the Visa center received the petition on Feb 9 & the Consulate says they received it on Feb. 8- makes no sense but at least everything is going to the right place!

  12. I called CDJ today to asked about the new changes for K-visas and they told me those changes will take effect next week. They told me to call back next week since i'm still not going to go and ask if that process started.

  13. I got the letter from the consulate right now, and yes the process for a fiance visa has change a little!

  14. I was approved! I'll receive my visa between 1 and 5 working days!

  15. February 1, 2011 - Petition Approved! Woo-hoo! Finally another step in the right direction.

  16. The USCIS Vermont service center is looking at petitions they received July 10th, 2010 today. Looks like we have some people ahead of us.
