Consulate Review: Juarez, Mexico
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : November 9, 2008
Embassy Review : Here is my fiance’s experience in Ciudad Juarez. I translated it into English and then it’s in Spanish second. We found people’s experiences and advice invaluable when preparing for the interview, so I hope this helps someone!
---------------------------------------------------------------
The first day I arrived, I stayed at Hotel Los Cedros that’s about 10 minutes walking from the consulate.

The next day when I had to go to my medican exam, I went to the clinic that’s nexts to the consulate (the other clinic is in front of the consulate, but I saw that the other one took more time for people to enter). You have to make a line, and I got there at 6:30 AM, but there are people there much earlier. In the entrance there is a person who makes sure that you have your passport and the invitation letter from the consulate. After going in, there is a line where you go to a counter and they ask for your passport and letter of invitation again, and they ask for some other information. You stay there until they call you and then you go to do your medical exam. When they call you, you have to go to waiting room “A.” There they take your blood sample and then your X-rays. Then, you go to waiting room “B” where they will do a physical. It takes a little bit for them to call you. First they call you to confirm all your information, then you have to wait again until the doctor calls you again and tells you to go to a room where they will check you out. There they take your weight and height, and you will have to stay in your underwear. Then the doctor will ask you to disrobe for a few seconds- it was really fast. They ask a few questions: if you have any contagious diseases, fractures, etc. From there, if you have done drugs, they will take a urine sampel (they didn’t do it to me). Also you should remember that you DO NOT need vaccinations for the fiance visa (sometimes the forget, they told me that I had to go to the next room but I told them I didn’t need the vaccinations) and then from there you pay the $148 for your exam, and they will give you a receipt and a sheet to pick up the results, and they give you your passport and the invitation letter from the consulate. I left around 10:30 AM from the clinic and went back at 2:00 PM for my results and they give them to you in a black envelope with your X-rays and you should not open it. Next you should go to Banamexto pay your interview fee for the consulate which is $131.

The next day I went to for my interview at the consulate (I arrived around 7 AM) you should talk to one of the guards and tell them that you have an open appontment and they will tell you to make a line to go into the consulate (I formed a line with those who had their appointment at 8 AM). Before going in, they will ask for your passport and your invitation letter from the consulate and the receipt of your payment. Then they will look at everything that you bring with you (si you have a portfolio, backpack, money, etc.) and then you will go in. Inside there are some people that will ask to see your forms and your passport pictures and you should have them at hand, also the black envelope of your results. Once they look a your information, you pass to a waiting room and they will give you a number and you wait until you go into the building.
From there inside you will have to wait your turn, there is a board that will indicate what window you should go to with the number that you have. When it’s your turn, you go with your number to the window indicated and the consul will ask for your forms, and also the affadivit of support from my fiance (I-134), the black envelope with the results of your medical exam, and your passport pictures. After reviewing everything, you will have to sign your forms and you will wait until they call you again for your digital fingerprints (they will call you by name). Then you will wait again and they will call you from the loudspeaker. The consul was very nice, she asked me several questions like: how long have you been dating? When did we meet each other? What are your fiance’s parents’ names? Etc. After finishing the questions she told me that my visa had been approved and to go to the next building to get my passport and visa and a packet for migration. She did not ask to see any evidence I brought. Upon leaving that building, I immediately called my fiance to give her the good news, and we were very happy and excited. (I bought a telmex phonecard because the consulate had a payphone inside)
The process can be a little tedious and long, but in the end it’s all worth it.

GOOD LUCK!

Al día siguiente que tenia que presentarme a mi examen medico fui a la clínica que esta a lado del consulado (la otra clínica se encuentra enfrente pero vi que tomaba mas tiempo a la gente ingresar). Tienes que hacer fila yo llegue a las 6:30 a.m. pero hay gente formada desde mucho antes así que recomiendo llegar como a las 6 a.m. para ingresar mas pronto a la clínica. En la entrada hay una persona que revisa que lleves tu pasaporte y tu carta de invitación del consulado. Después al ingresar hay una fila donde pasas al mostrador y piden nuevamente el pasaporte y tu carta de invitación y piden algunos otros datos y permaneces ahí hasta que te llamen e ingreses a realizar tu examen medico. Cuando te llamen tendrás que ir a la sala “a”, ahí te tomara una muestra de sangre y después los rayos X. Después pasas a la sala “b” ahí te harán el examen físico tardan mas o menos en llamarte, primero te llamaran para confirmar tus datos, después tendrás que esperar nuevamente hasta que te llame nuevamente el medico y te dice que pases a una habitación donde te revisara. Ahí te tomara el peso y la estatura, tendrás que quedarte en ropa interior, después el medico te pedirá que te desnudes por unos segundos fue muy rápido, hace algunas preguntas de si tienes enfermedades contagiosas, fracturas, etc., de ahí si has consumido drogas te harán un examen de orina (a mi no me lo hicieron). También debes recordar que no necesitas vacunas por el tipo de visa (a veces se les olvida, a mí me dijeron que pasara a la siguiente sala pero les dije que no las necesitaba), ya de ahí vas a pagar los $148 dls de tu examen y te darán un recibo y un hoja con la que puedes recoger los resultados, te dará tu pasaporte de nuevo y tu hoja de invitación del consulado. Salí como a las 10:30 a.m. de la clínica y regrese a las 2 p.m. por mi resultados y te los entregan en un sobre negro con tus rayos x y no debes abrirlos. Posteriormente debes ir a cualquier sucursal de banamex a pagar tu cita en el consulado son 131 dls.


Al día siguiente fui a mi cita al consulado (llegue como a las 7 a.m. aproximadamente) deberás hablar con uno de los guardias y decirle que tienes un cita abierta y te dirá que te formes en la fila para ingresar al consulado (me toco formarme con las personas tienen cita a las 8 a.m.). Antes de ingresar te pedirán tu pasaporte y tu hoja de invitación del consulado y tu recibo de pago. Después te revisan todo lo que traigas contigo (si traes portafolios, mochilas, dinero etc.) y enseguida pasas. Ya adentro hay unas personas que te pedirán tus formas y tus fotos y deberás llevarlos a las mano, también el sobre negro de tus resultados. Una vez que te revisan la información pasas al una sala de espera te darán un numero y esperaras hasta ingresar al edificio.
De ahí ya adentro tendrás esperas tu turno hay una pizarra donde indicara a que ventanilla debes ir con el numero que tienes y esperas un momento, cuando es tu turno vas con el numero de ventanilla que te indican y el cónsul te pedirá tus formas y también me pidió la solvencia económica de mi afiancé (la forma I-134) , el sobre negro con tus resultados de tu examen medico y tu fotos, al revisar todo, tendrás que firmar tus formas y esperaras a que te llamen nuevamente para tomar tus huellas digitales (te llamaran por tu nombre en el altavoz). Después esperaras nuevamente y te llamara el cónsul por el altavoz, la cónsul fue muy amable, me hizo varias preguntas, como cuanto tiempo llevamos de novios? Como nos conocimos? El nombre de los padres de mi afiancé?, etc. Al terminar sus preguntas me dijo que mi visa había sido aprobada y pasara al edificio a lado para recoger mi pasaporte y mi visa y un paquete para migración. No me pidio evidencia de nuestra relacion. Al salir del otro edificio llame inmediatamente a mi afiancé para darle la buena noticia y estábamos muy felices y emocionados.
El proceso puede ser un poco tedioso y largo pero al final vale la pena.

MUCHA SUERTE!!!
Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
