The interview process would have been relatively hassle-free for us,except for the fact that they closed the consulate on the Thursday before Veterans' Day. We arrived on Tuesday, Nov.7 (flew in from Toluca), did the medical on the 8th, got turned away on the 9th--a Thursday-- (without prior notice they refused even people with appointments!!), and of course the next day was Veterans' Day so the consulate was closed until MONDAY so we basically just stayed in our hotel room for four days straight (Rafa was skeched out about Juarez! No offense to those who are from there or who like it but it does NOT have a nice vibe about it....)
So when he finally had his interview the officer was super-friendly and nice, he said our case was so romantic (awww), and that he had no problem whatsoever with anything and CONGRATULATIONS! Of course Rafa had never been to the US before so that made everything easier for our case.
But having to spend an extra 3-4 days there was a major hassl... read complete review

Over all was a good experience. The medical exam at the clinic right next to the consulate was faster than expected, per their own staff recommendation and my own experience you actually wait less if you get there later than 8am. I was there at 8am and was done by 10am, but I think I would have been out around the same time if I had gotten there at 9am. Same thing about picking up the results, if you go after 2pm you get them faster, they're open until 4pm so you can get them any time between 2 and 4 pm. The cost of the exam was $148.50 USD or $1633 mexican pesos.
The next day I got to the consulate at 8:15am and got in immediately, there was no line outside. They don't let any metal things, electronics, cell phone, mirrors, food, and other items inside the consulate so make sure you check your bags/purses for those items before you go. There was a line inside for the initial document review at building "C", I waited about 3hrs before they called my name. They didn't follow a fi... read complete review

Despite the huge crowds and long lines, the consulate seemed very efficient. However, expect long days of waiting (for both of you). The medical exam must be done at one of the clinics located near the consulate; the one we went to was right next door, on the same side of the road. Look for the line coming out the door. My fiance went in before 7:30 am and didn't come out until 2 pm. You do NOT need vaccinations for a K1 visa. My fiance spent a long time waiting in a line inside the clinic just to find out he didn't need the vaccinations. You pick up the results around the back of the clinic after 2 pm. The following day, my fiance entered the consulate before 8 am. We got in the line around 7 am, which was already really long, but I wouldn't worry about getting there super early - they let everyone in even if you're at the end of the line. The USC will NOT be allowed into the consulate under ANY circumstances unless you have a note of permission from inside. You can wait ac... read complete review

IT went well the only bad thing about it was the long and nasty wait.

It's difficult to choose a rating because the day I showed up for the interview, I learned that the consulate had taken the week off for Thanksgiving. Yes, the ENTIRE week. I guess they are just really really patriotic or something. I didn't know Thanksgiving was a 5 day holiday, but $1100 later, I was informed. But it was all good. The security guard told me I could return Monday, and they would be open. All I needed to do was tell my college, I would be missing a few finals. My fiancee could ask her boss for just 5 more days off of work. I could pay Aeromexico $150 to change my flight plan; pay $200 to Hotel La Playa for a couple extra days. All in all, not a big sacrifice on my end for a little added holiday pleasure on their end. I only hope that on Monday, those government workers will be quite thoroughly and cozilly relaxed. I know their job and health benefits must be quite wrenching.
And on a serious note, if you look at the holiday schedule on their website, Tue... read complete review
