Sarah & Waylon	Detroit	2008-08-27	- High	I crossed at the Ambassador Bridge. No problems, although there were some Customs Officers being really rude to other people - I was lucky to get a nice man. I was in the office for approx. 35 minutes.	2011-07-11
nr123 & nm123	El Paso	2008-08-27	- High	We've got the visa!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to go through all the boring details, because it was all pretty much the same thing that happens with everyone. Monday, my fiance went to his medical exam at the place across the street, because he has tattoos and the psychiatrist is inside the building (but the medical clinic on the same side of the consulate doesn't have the psychiatrist inside the building, and you'd have to go through the neighborhood to get to his office). Thankfully, he didn't need to see the psychiatrist (I've heard they get sent there for tattoos/drugs/alcohol) and the doctor did the regular exam (at one point nude) and only asked what the tattoos were, didn't ask what they meant. It took about 2-3 hrs for the whole thing. Then he paid the visa fee at Banamex. Went back at 3:45 for the medical results, long line. Tuesday, we both went to the consulate. I stayed outside, but he told me that there were families inside that didn't seem to be there for the interviews. So maybe it's changed their policy about US citizens not entering. At the first window, he was asked my name and where I was, and he told them I was outside. He submitted the necessary docs (DS-156, DS-156k, DS-157, his birth certificate & copy, my copy of my citizenship, my tax transcripts & 1040s & Ws & employment letter & 4 recent paystubs - I had the I-134 ready but the tax stuff was enough - letters of intent from both of us) and his Banamex receipt & medical results. Then there was more waiting, and he went to a second window where the consul asked where he worked and how we met. After he told him, the consul said, "Sabe que su visa esta aprobada?" (Do you know your visa is approved?) and had to repeat it twice because my fiance was nervous and didn't think he heard right. We had gotten there at 8, and his visa was approved at 11:30, but he didn't get out of the consulate until 1:30. I sat outside and read in front of the smoothie shop. There was a band playing music, which was pretty funny to me, but kind of considerate of them. There were always vendors selling belts, bracelets, water, sodas, and sandwiches. Oh and when I arrived, I flew into El Paso and took a taxi to the Cordova bridge. The driver charged $16 but said that if I wanted to go directly to the hotel, he'd charge $50. He tried to make it sound like there would be nothing on the Mexican side but a park, and he didn't know if there were taxis there. I told him I'd just go to the bridge and check it out.... and it was fine! Went through customs (well, not sure if it was officially Customs, but it was the POE office) where I asked where I needed to go to cross over, and they just told me "through those doors," and out the door was a parking lot and then the pedestrian bridge. After I crossed the bridge, I walked behind a family that was crossing onto the other side of the highway, and at the information center were 2 taxis. They charged 100 pesos to go to the hotel (Jose Marti). If you pay anymore than that, you're being jipped. Going back into El Paso, we took a taxi from the hotel to the bridge (50 pesos), walked over, went to the customs office, stood in line for an hour, they took the manila envelope from the consulate, stamped his passport, charged $6, and then we went through, called a cab, and now we're just going to hang out and sightsee until tomorrow morning when we fly home. It's been a great and exciting (and long process!) ride, but all worth it.	2011-04-11
Hilkka & Cody	Seattle	2008-08-27	- High	The officers were very friendly and helpful in Seattle. I was traveling alone with our 3-month-old daughter and they did their best to make it a smooth process for us.	2009-04-22
