CDJ Approved

Wanted to share the news and timeline about our experience.

Finace leaves for CDJ from Mexico City Monday morning and arrives at the Consulate to request 'open invitation letter' and is pulled out of line by guard asking why she is there. He takes her name and returns 30 minutes later with the letter. She walks to the Medical, which is a block or less away and is 'checked' for about 4 hours moving from one room to another. She arrived after 11am and they were still processing visa people, so I can't say that the information on the website for the medical just being from 7am to 11am is correct, but at least it worked out for us. She leaves medical at 4pm and is told to return at 5:30pm for the results, then goes across street to pay banamex and eats dinner. Returns for results, is reminded via text by me to 'not open' the black envelope. At 7am she returns for the interview, is given a number and once called is sent to a window where she provides the paperwork requested, then waits some more, and more and more (she says). Then the number comes up again, and she is taken to be finger printed, and then is told to wait to be interviewed. and as she tells it...(she waits, and waits and waits). and finally, the officer comes in...asks questions about my name, my job, where I was born...and that was it. Then he congratulated her, she had been approved. She was given a DHL number and must return when all of her paperwork and such it is ready to be picked up. She needs to fly home tonight to go back to work in Mex. City and then fly back once it is ready to be picked up. So, I am overjoyed. A lot of worry, a whole lot of worry...and if I learned anything, it is plan, plan, plan...and diligent paperwork.

She was 'congratulated' by the Officer for receiving her K-1 visa on April 20th, 2010. This process started in October of 2009.

Congradulations!!! Now you can help all of us here since people like you can be very helpful. How long did it take for your fiance to get the letter from the Consulate??? What did she bring as a proof of an ongoing relationship? What questions did they ask? Please give us your advice. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. My fiance didn't receive the 'packet 3' letter once our case was forwarded from the NVC, we just waited 5 weeks from when we received the hard copy NOA2 and used the Ciudad Juarez packet 3 forms link from the internet. Then she just went to the consulate and asked for her open invitation letter. Our proof was a few photos and my passport showing me traveling there 5 times over the past year and a half. I guess that was enough. The questions they asked were just a few. My full name, my job, my place of birth. That was it. Hope it helps.
