After such a long, stressful, anxiety filled and worrying process and with many nights of barely any sleep, today I was approved and I’m so happy. Thanks for your videos they really helped me through my entire process here in Juarez.
Wow that is great news and I’m so happy I could be helpful. I remember the process being so stressful and unknown so that was my goal with this video.. to be helpful. 💛🙌🏽
@@Fernandabuenn Thank you 😊 and just a quick question, where did you go to go ahead pay for your green card ahead of time? Or do I have to wait until I get my visa to do so?
Congratulations !!! we are so exited!!! We just fixed our residency and just wanted to highly recommend Violeta’s Guest House in CD Juarez. If you have an appointment at the US Consulate, this is the place to stay; it’s safe and they treated us really well!!
Yes show him, it’s an easier process than we expect but seeing other peoples experiences definitely helps. Let me know if you guys want me to make any other videos about anything related to that.
This is helpful! I’m petitioning for my mom and the uscis approved her case, but the interview part it the most scary part that I’m not looking forward to
I was supposed to stay there from Sunday night to Friday night which is 6 nights but I got my green card Friday morning so we left a day early. We stayed at Maria Bonita but idk how much it was because my dad paid for us as a present to me
Hi Fernanda, I want to congratulate you on your visa approval and thank you for such an informative video. I was wondering if you had to present covid 19 vaccine proof and if so how is the process ?
Thank you! So happy I finally got my visa. I believe I didn't have to show proof I just told them that I did get vaccinated. I can't really remember. I did have my vaccine card on me though.
Hi, first of all, congrats! I do have a couple of questions, 1- When you mention biometrics do you refer to as the “carta de antecedentes penales ” in Spanish? 2- If possible, could you share the approximate amount of days you had to wait to pick up your documents/passport? I know they mentioned 3-14/15 days, but I’m interested in knowing if you had to wait the 10+days. Thank you for your time!
Hey! No, by biometrics I mean getting your finger prints and photo taken for your visa which you do in Mexico before your interview and I have all the dates on my description of the video. It only took two days to get mine. :)
Hi Fernanda! Congratulations!! I have a question. Where and how do you book your biometrics?? I also gott my interview date email, and I scheduled my appointment for the medical, I still need to register my appointment online but it's not letting me it says to wait a week or so . Did this happen to you ? I'm looking forward for your response, my appointment is in 3 weeks from now.

Try registering your appointment on Monday morning when they refresh the system. After you register your appointment they will send you an email with the biometrics appointment
Congratulations Fernanda! 🎉 Did did you choose to pick up your packet back in the office once you knew it was ready for pick up ? I know some people say they provide a mailing address to have mailed it out instead . I feel picking up in person would be faster.
Hi Fernanda, congratulations! I am a former DACA recipient as well, now a US Citizen. I came to your video because I am petitioning for my two elderly parents’ green card. My question for you is why didn’t you get an advance parole and then adjust your status (green card) in the US. Thank you for your video, currently waiting for my parents second part of interview, appointment is Monday since first part was Friday. God Bless!
When I started the process there was no info on that. I feel like that became a thing in the past 2-3years but before that nobody knew that was an option. Is that what you did?
@@Fernandabuenn Thank you for replying. Yes, that’s what I did right away, I was a bit scared but it worked out well for me and I highly recommend it. On a side note, my mon was approved and my dad needs a waiver. Thank you and wishing him you much success!!!
Black jeans and a long sleeve dress shirt with flats and my hair down. Just wear anything you would wear to a job interview or business casual. Also make sure you check the weather to see it will be super hot or cold
hello, thank you for the video. I was under the impression that the non-applicatnt spouse would also be interviewed. Did they interview your spouse as well?
I didn’t remember exactly but I’m sure I only had to update two vaccines from when I was a kid. I already had the Covid vaccine since it was mandatory if you were flying into to and from the US at that time
Congrats! My brother is leaving tomorrow morning because he needs to be 15 days before the appointment. I have a question though, is Cuidad Juarez dangerous? If so, can you let me know what to do and what not to. My brother wants to go out, but he gets feedback to not go out. It will be he’s first time in his life time to go. Any feedbacks? Pros or cons ?
Oh nice! Why does he need to be there 15 days before? And I want to say no it’s not dangerous. There’s a shopping center close by and some restaurants and everybody for the most parts are just tourist who are coming down for the green card interview. But I would not recommend going out at night because there’s not a lot of lights and the cars drive crazy so you dont want to get hit by a car. But in the day time it’s safe.
Hola! No lo puedo encuentra. Pero si ya tiene una fecha de cita para la entrevista, el link es el mismo sitio web donde confirma su entrevista. Ye mandan tu fecha de intervista via correo electronico
Hi Fernanda, I am a daca recipient and I am preparing for the consular processing. I am very nervous and worried that I get stuck in my home country because the agent that does the interview might not know what im talking about when I tell them that I live in the US and I have no unlawful presence. Also, don't have a reentry I have not left the US since I came in (EWI). so my question to you is how do you prove the agent that you have had been having daca and didn't let yourself accrue unlawful prensen. TIA and im sorry if the route you took was the waiver (601a)
Did you have to do a background check in Mexico? I left Mexico, when I was a baby and having such a tough time with figuring out if it’s even mandatory. Attorneys office isn’t being much help.
I’m so happy for you and appreciate the video, it was super informative. I have a question, were you able to bring your turned-off phone inside the consulate? I just want to know how to reach my husband once the interview is over. Is he going to have to wait outside the consulte for me?
Hi! I didn’t bring it inside with me I’m not sure if you can. My dad had to wait outside for me for like 2-3hrs. There’s a lot of husband and mothers who don’t that. There’s a little corner store right next to it and everybody waits outside for their family member to come out of the consulate
They send you and email with a link where you have to create an account to pick up your packet. You fill out all the information there. They will send you the email once you have an appointment date
Hi, I Seen A Video On This. They Said, When You Go To Pickup Your Envelope. There Will Be A Paper In There. With Information On How To Do It On-Line. Ty, Rosie
You have to pay a fee for your greencard online and once you e done that they will mail it to you. When you get your visa it will have more instructions
The guy who interviewed me was Mexican but he knew English. He said it was whatever it felt more comfortable with. I chose English. I think they are all bilingual
Once I was approved in the interview it took 2 days to get it but they said I would get it between 3-14 days so there’s no accurate time line just an estimate.
Hi Fernanda. My husband is a us citizen since 12 yrs ago, born in Canada. Do you think they will request me his naturalization certificate? Or his us pasport is enough? Cause he lost the naturalization cert.😮
About 2 years due to the pandemic slowing things down. I e heard most people it takes about 1 year but 2 years if there is a lot of people on the wait list
Hey fernanda ! My interview date is on June 20th ! So nervous but ready to get it done ✅ I too am a DACA kid who got the first Daca in 2013’ before my 18th birthday , case is similar to yours I’m over thinking stuff and nervous obviously you know how it is haha but this video gave me more peace of mind Quick question how many pictures and proof of relationship did you take ?
@@Fernandabuenn got my Visa today ! Haha I barely showed them anything and had like 5 or 6 questions 👍your video helped me have some peace of mind through this VERY stressful process so I thank you 🙏
I understand that u was ready and got the shot but did they tell you your shot are mandatory or ask for proof of them just cause they say u might need them I can’t not see ur choice of getting it is not giving I am a Diabetic with other issues I am American citizen and have that choice but my wife will get her green card and she should have a choice
Thank you! And I stayed a Maria Bonita. It’s pretty close. I would walk to the consulate from there. But if you want something closer the Holiday Inn Express was even closer and on the same side of the road as the consulate
@@Monica-il3rg how long after you got the letter saying they are ready to schedule you appointment did it take for you to get the actual appointment?? I got an email saying I am in the queue waiting line to get an appointment in Jurez..
@@Monica-il3rg where are you traveling from? I'm from bakersfield leaving the 27ths around noon to get a plane from TJ to cdjuarez. I'll be staying at the consulado inn hotel
Yes just get one to be on the safe side. I got a background check from the United States and it cost like $40. You don’t need one from Mexico if you haven’t lived there after the age of 18.
@@Fernandabuenn I just did my second interview yesterday. I waited almost an hr standing waiting for an open window. The interview itself took less than 5 min lol. Now, to wait for the Visa. Can't wait to go home.
Hey Fernanda! I have my appointment in May and came across your video. Very helpful! I have a question, were you required to have a waiver? I’ve had DACA since I was 17 and was told I don’t need the waiver because of that. Also, any chance you can talk more about your travel? I want to fly to El Paso and take a cab to Juarez, not sure where I find a safe cab there. Also, when you left, did you take a cab through the border? That sounds expensive with the wait time at the border. Sorry for all the questions!
I only got a background check from the US and took that. There are cabs at the airport but only private ones will take you across the border. They are pretty expensive anywhere between $70-$200 so you have to negotiate. Our cab took us across the border and all the way to our hotel
@@yohu4483 - Just did my second interview today and was approved, its super normal to be scared/nervous but usually everyone is in the same boat. I WISH YOU THE BEST.
@@joea104 praise God I'm happy you got approved 🙌 🙏 glory too the God . We just rent the hotell now idk if I did a good choice or not was reading the reviews after I book it and there not good reviews hope for the best when we get there
Hi, i just got my appointment but it says I have to set up an appointment for fingerprints and medical.. did you also did that? Or the lawyer did it for you?
Hi Fernanda! Your video is so helpful! It’s helping my nerves. I’ve got a question. Did you have to get a police certificate from Mexico? Was that hard to obtain?
Hi I have a question did you list exactly what documents they requested one of my friends just told me they requested i-797c but I have never heard that… can you confirm if they requested that document? I’m getting my green card through my husband I know different documents are requested by who’s petitioning you.
The I-797c is just a generic “receipt” notice that they send whenever they approve certain documents. You should have received one for your I-130. Did you ever submit that one?
The only thing you need to pay for when you get back home or after you get approved for is just your greencard which $220 and they will mail it to you in a few weeks
Hi I have a question how long did you wait after being documentary qualified to receive a interview date? My wife was qualified mid April this year. Any info helps. Thanks
It took like 2years for me to get an interview date but that was also in the middle of covid when everything was closed. I think right now it takes about a year or less
I’m not sure. I did but only because mine was electronic. Maybe you should see if yours can be made electronic. I think they send you a letter in the mail with the option to do it when they accept your I-130
Did they ever ask to see your original I601A waiver? I cant find my original at the moment and have a copy of it though, my lawyer told me that they have a copy of that too so it shouldn't be a problem if they do ask for it since they have evidence sent to them by the USCIS. Just don't know if i should be concerned. Its the only thing i have left to find.
@@Fernandabuenn oh ok. Thanks so much. I’m so nervous and every now and then have negative thoughts. My interview is on the 1st and 2nd of February but I’m leaving Thursday of next week. I have a clean record and been doing everything right I’m sure everything will be fine but it’s just hard to stay calm or positive. But congrats on your green card. Hopefully I’ll have mine soon too.
Yea this process is so stressful but as long as you bring all your paperwork and just be honest it will be fine. Everybody at the offices are very nice
Hi. My husband just had his interview last week and they did ask to see his waiver. They didn’t ask for original though. He was approved 🙌. Good luck in your interview.
@@mariaandrade555 thank you so much for this information. You don’t know how much it just helped me with the stress and anxiety I was having last night and all morning. I’m glad your husband got approved and congratulations to you guys. Just to be sure this is the unlawful presence waiver correct? The i601a I believe it’s what it’s called? Also did he show them a copy or was it that he just happened to have the original or they tell him he just needed to show them the waiver in general?
So you didn’t have to file an I601a? My wife is about to have her interview. Her case is so similar to yours. She had Daca at 17, I’m petitioning (US citizen) for her. But I’ve seen folks say, you need it. HELP… SOS 🆘
Depends on her situation. Did she ever leave the US? If so yes. But if she never left the US and she got her DACA when she was 17 then no she doesn’t have to
@@Fernandabuenn yes my wife did. My wife got approved!! She had a question that I was worried about. So there was a point in time 2yrs ago when Daca renewals weren’t being given out because the trump administration had put a hold to those renewals. My wife’s Daca had expired around that time. Luckily, it was only 2 months without it. That’s also the reason why I had asked if you had to get that waiver. After reading, the waiver is only needed for those who’ve stayed in the US without Daca for 180 continuous days at any point, after the age of 18. My wife made that comment after being asked about the 2 month gap, APPROVED!
Hi fernanda I have question hopefully you can help me out do I need to get a Police clearance letter? I have my appointment the beginning of September i'm so nervous.
Ok then you don’t need one. Just tell them that when they ask you for it at the appointment. That’s what I told them.. that I lived in the US since I was 2yrs old
I am going for my interview. I would like my husband to go with me but he does not have his passport. Would he need a passport to renter the US if we drive?
If you work in America then the latest taxes from America only. Do you have anyone sponsoring you financially? It would be there taxes that they need to see to prove that they can afford to take care of you
Hello, after you got your green card did you visa in your passport expire soon after you got it? Mines about to expire and I want to know what I need to do?
Hi, Congratulations!!! (1). Was Your Visa A “IR1 Visa”? (2). If So Can You Recall The Date You First Received The Email Stating: “The Applicant Is Now In Queue Awaiting An Interview Appointment Overseas”? I’m Trying To Figure Out, By Watching TH-cam Videos. How Close He Maybe. :) Ty, Rosie Texas
Yes it was an IR1 visa. I never received an email saying that. The email you will get before they schedule the appointment is the one that says “your immigrant visa case has become documentarily qualified” which means they have receive all the documents from you and all the fees. DQ Date: 5/26/20
Hi Again…. Yes Those Words Where Also In That Same Email/Letter. Hubby Received That Letter Back In Nov, 18 2019. And He Just Keeps Getting Those 120 & 60 Day Waiting Emails. …Hopefully Soon… Ty, Rosie
Oh ok! I’m sure you will get an appointment soon. Also if your income tax and W2’s you submitted are over a year old you will have to resubmit them. But just wait until they give you the appointment because they will let you know what you need to update them.
Hello, I Received A Letter From The NVC On The 9th. Telling Us The Case Has Now Been Moved To Juarez, Mexico. That The US Embassy Will Be Sending Us An Appointment Soon. Finally!!! My Questions Are; 1) Did Your Lawyer Request Your Most Recent “Check Stubs”? Right Before You Where Heading To Juarez, Mexico. 2) And Did The US Embassy Ask Anything About The Sponsors Income. I Have Already Turned In My Last (2) Tax Transcripts. Ty, Rosie
Yea it sucks having to go by yourself but a lot of the other people applying for visas there are all in the same boat and are very nice and understanding. There’s a mall close by so you can walk around there to kill some time lol
I bought a round trip ticket. Which they don’t recommend but I really didn’t want to pay for two separate tickets lol. I recommend giving yourself enough time for the medical spot before your interview and at least three business days after you interview. Also buy trip insurance just in case you need to cancel/change your flight
@@debraesteban9155 hi currently going through the same thing. I received my appointmnet email . But haven't received a second email... also, where you able to rejister your appointment? It won't let me, I got my first appointment email like 2 days ago.
Actually I think they send you your biometrics appointment once you register your appointment. I was also having issue registering my appointment at first try Monday morning. Sometimes it takes the system a while to update. If not try emailing them back and let them know you’re having a problem.
Hi fernanda congratulations! I have my appointment at the end of February I already did my medical appointment I just have an issue with making the appointment for my fingerprints I was wondering if you have an specific number to get in contact to make the appointment I will appreciated 🙏🏼
Hola alma, una pregunta. Yo estoy en mi proceso, o NVC acepto todos mis documentos el 15 de octubre 2021 y ya solo espero que me den la cita de mi entreviste. Cuanto tardaron en darte tu entrevista a ti después de que te dijeron que ya Habían aceptado todo?
@@anamarmolejo1583 it went well got the green card. It was super stressfull to fly back home i been married for 8 years and i purchase my airplane tickets under my married name and then my green card was issued in my maiden name so volaris wouldnt lwt me fly back! After 2 days of not being able to fly home i cried a river to the lady because they wanted me to buy new tickets she finally agreed to let me fly back. The consular stuff went great it was just Volaris gave me a hard time
We are having issues confirming the scheduled appointment online. Did you have any issues confirming your appointment after you got the email with the appointment date?
Ok gracias yeah I was 17 when I came to the USA and just like you my husband is American. I hope they don’t ask for it I was trying to get it here in Mexico but is so hard
Yes just explain your situation to them and they will understand. They see so many cases everyday and everybody has a different life history so I think you will be fine.
Hi! This is for people who have DACA, which means your parent brought you here as a kid. I’m not sure how different it is for people who don’t have DACA I imagine it’s a bit harder
I crossed the border walking and had to check in with customs. They’ll stamp your passport there. If you are flying he’ll just have to check in with customs at the airport I believe
@@mariaandrade555 Hi Maria. When was your husband's case originally sent to NVC? I been waiting since 08/2020. Just want to get an idea of wait time. I have been getting the NVC waiting notices every 60 days

Yea I have Tmobile and they charged me out of country charges. I recommend you get international calls for at least a month if you don’t already have it
Unfortunately he couldn’t get his passport in time to come with me to Juarez so I went with my dad, but nobody can go inside the building with you unless they have an appointment. They have to wait outside. So if you’re the only one getting a visa only you can go in. Your husband will have to wait outside.
It means Documentarily Qualified which means you have submitted all the necessary paperwork for your application and they have been approved. Once they tell you that your are DQ then you start waiting for the actual interview appointment
Hi @em Baeza! A girl got denied bc she didn’t have the long form of her husbands certificate. Get it just in case you get asked for it. The consulate official specifically asked for that form.
You pay for the visa in your passport when you pay for your application fee online. The residence card(greencard) you pay online thru your USCIS account.
O that email is to let people know that they are working in their cases, bc lots of people had appointments before pandemic so t they tell in that email they ll contact u in 120 days to give u an interview or if not just to tell u still in line waiting for it.
After such a long, stressful, anxiety filled and worrying process and with many nights of barely any sleep, today I was approved and I’m so happy. Thanks for your videos they really helped me through my entire process here in Juarez.

Hi Fernanda,
I am a daca recipient and I am preparing for the consular processing. I am very nervous and worried that I get stuck in my home country because the agent that does the interview might not know what im talking about when I tell them that I live in the US and I have no unlawful presence. Also, don't have a reentry I have not left the US since I came in (EWI). so my question to you is how do you prove the agent that you have had been having daca and didn't let yourself accrue unlawful prensen. TIA and im sorry if the route you took was the waiver (601a)
Did you have to do a background check in Mexico? I left Mexico, when I was a baby and having such a tough time with figuring out if it’s even mandatory. Attorneys office isn’t being much help.
Hey girl! No you don’t have Tony less you lived in Mexico after the age of 18. You can find that info on the USCIS website
To unless *
Question regarding the green paper: did you have to make an account or did you have one already?
They will send you an email to make an account once they give you an appointment date.
@@Fernandabuenndid u have to get your Carta de No Antecedentes Penales? Even though u weren’t in Mexico?
No you don’t need one if you never lived in Mexico after the age of 18
I’m so happy for you and appreciate the video, it was super informative. I have a question, were you able to bring your turned-off phone inside the consulate? I just want to know how to reach my husband once the interview is over. Is he going to have to wait outside the consulte for me?
Hi! I didn’t bring it inside with me I’m not sure if you can. My dad had to wait outside for me for like 2-3hrs. There’s a lot of husband and mothers who don’t that. There’s a little corner store right next to it and everybody waits outside for their family member to come out of the consulate
@@Fernandabuenn thank you love! My appointment is this Thursday😅
Ahhh goodluck!! Wish you the best of luck!
@@Fernandabuenn thank you love! I got approved 🥹🥹 such a humbling experience. I cried right when she gave me the green paper lol I feel like new woman
I totally know what you mean! It’s a weight off our shoulders and it’s so liberating
Did you have to set something up to pick up ur package at Cas????
Or is it automatically going there????
They send you and email with a link where you have to create an account to pick up your packet. You fill out all the information there. They will send you the email once you have an appointment date
Hi! Thx for all ur help. Did your green card automatically get mailed to you or did you have to fill out anything else after crossing?
Hi,
I Seen A Video On This.
They Said, When You Go To Pickup Your Envelope.
There Will Be A Paper In There.
With Information On How To Do It On-Line.
Ty, Rosie
You have to pay a fee for your greencard online and once you e done that they will mail it to you. When you get your visa it will have more instructions
Am confused on how to check online do I have to scan the code ?
Is it in Spanish the interview or English? This for my father. And I just want to prepare him. So any information is appreciated! Thanks!
The guy who interviewed me was Mexican but he knew English. He said it was whatever it felt more comfortable with. I chose English. I think they are all bilingual
Hi congratulations thank you for this video it’s very informative.
Question how long did you wait to receive the visa once you were approved?
Once I was approved in the interview it took 2 days to get it but they said I would get it between 3-14 days so there’s no accurate time line just an estimate.
Hi Fernanda. My husband is a us citizen since 12 yrs ago, born in Canada. Do you think they will request me his naturalization certificate? Or his us pasport is enough? Cause he lost the naturalization cert.😮
Hello did you need to have your COVID vaccine?
And your physical did you do it in Mexico or in the states?
When I went I did t have to but I think now you do.. and yes you have to do the physical in Juarez if that’s where your appointment will be
Where do we leave our phones ? If I go alone without my husband who will hold my belongings? (My husband has to stay because our children)
Hey fernanda ! How long did it take for you to get the appointment to go Ciudad Juarez after NVC approved all the fees and forms and documents?
About 2 years due to the pandemic slowing things down. I e heard most people it takes about 1 year but 2 years if there is a lot of people on the wait list
Hello did you need to request an I601A waiver? If you did, how may months did you have to wait for it? Thank you.
Hi. I personally didn’t request this waiver.
Hey fernanda ! My interview date is on June 20th ! So nervous but ready to get it done ✅ I too am a DACA kid who got the first Daca in 2013’ before my 18th birthday , case is similar to yours I’m over thinking stuff and nervous obviously you know how it is haha but this video gave me more peace of mind
Quick question how many pictures and proof of relationship did you take ?
Sorry for the late reply. I took like 5 photos. Hope your interview went well!!
@@Fernandabuenn got my Visa today ! Haha I barely showed them anything and had like 5 or 6 questions 👍your video helped me have some peace of mind through this VERY stressful process so I thank you 🙏
Yay so happy! Did you need a Covid vaccine? Everybody keeps asking me that
@@Fernandabuenn yes they did ask for it 👍I had the two shot Pfizer one in 21’
Ok cool thank you! And congratulations dude!! God bless 🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Do you have your Covid shot or shots and did they ask you for proof in any area
Yes I have my covid shots because I didn’t want that to hold me back from getting my greencard or traveling back to the USA
Bring any and all vaccine records if you have any
I understand that u was ready and got the shot but did they tell you your shot are mandatory or ask for proof of them just cause they say u might need them I can’t not see ur choice of getting it is not giving I am a Diabetic with other issues I am American citizen and have that choice but my wife will get her green card and she should have a choice
Congratulations 🎉🍾!!
What hotel did you stay in?
I have my appointment in a few weeks, but I don’t know what hotel to book with?!
Thank you! And I stayed a Maria Bonita. It’s pretty close. I would walk to the consulate from there. But if you want something closer the Holiday Inn Express was even closer and on the same side of the road as the consulate
When do you have your appt scheduled? Mines Oct 1st

Did they ask for a clearance letter from the police dept in the city/town you live? I’m also DACA and got it before I turned 18
Yes just get one to be on the safe side. I got a background check from the United States and it cost like $40. You don’t need one from Mexico if you haven’t lived there after the age of 18.
@@Fernandabuenn I just did my second interview yesterday. I waited almost an hr standing waiting for an open window. The interview itself took less than 5 min lol. Now, to wait for the Visa. Can't wait to go home.
The worst part was honestly waiting in line. But so happy you got the interview out of the way! Hopefully you get your visa by Friday morning! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
So you didng need the I-160A waiver with daca while having daca under the age 18?
Were you able to travel by plane back to the US once you received your visa? OR just car or bus?
I’m pretty sure you can go on the plane just give yourself a few hours extra before your flight so you can go through customs at the airport.
I personally walked across the border, checked in with border patrol there and then took a flight from El Paso home
Congratulations!
How long did you wait after NVC sent your case to consule de juarez?
About a year and 6months. Because it’s was sent right before covid started
The consulate will send you the last notification.
Hi congrats I have a question for tax they only ask you for the last year or the last 3 years?
I think only the last years one. But I would bring the previous ones too just to be safe
If you haven’t done the one for this year it’s ok. As long as you have the other previous ones
Hey Fernanda! I have my appointment in May and came across your video. Very helpful! I have a question, were you required to have a waiver? I’ve had DACA since I was 17 and was told I don’t need the waiver because of that.
Also, any chance you can talk more about your travel? I want to fly to El Paso and take a cab to Juarez, not sure where I find a safe cab there. Also, when you left, did you take a cab through the border? That sounds expensive with the wait time at the border.
Sorry for all the questions!
I only got a background check from the US and took that. There are cabs at the airport but only private ones will take you across the border. They are pretty expensive anywhere between $70-$200 so you have to negotiate. Our cab took us across the border and all the way to our hotel
Hey Marisol ! I also have my appointment in May actually tomorrow. I’m in Cuidad Juarez. When is your appt? I was also told I do not need a waiver.

They give you a website that you need to visit to pay for your resident card I believe.. it’s like $50 and then they ship it to your house
How long total were you at your second appointment? My husband is at his now and the wait is literally driving me crazy!!
Like 2-3hrs because the wait time is sooo long
The interview itself is only like 10-15mins but they make you sit inside and wait for like 2 hrs
He literally just called me he’s been approved!! I’m so happy thank you for your helpful videos
Yayyyy! Omg that so exciting! And you are welcome! 🙌🏽💛
Hello Spanish goddess. Quick question, after being accepted at the NVC, how long did it take to get an interview?
Hi, i just got my appointment but it says I have to set up an appointment for fingerprints and medical.. did you also did that? Or the lawyer did it for you?
How long did you wait??
Yes I did it myself since I didn’t have a lawyer but I think if you have a lawyer already they should be able to do it for you
a question what if youre alone and dont have someone with you, where can you leave your phone before entering the building?
I heard a lot of people just leave it at their hotel if they’re alone. Unless you want to risk trusting a random person lol
Hi Fernanda! Your video is so helpful! It’s helping my nerves. I’ve got a question. Did you have to get a police certificate from Mexico? Was that hard to obtain?
No i didn’t since I didn’t live in Mexico after I was 18yrs old. I left Mexico when I was 2yrs old
Sorry is that the carta de antecedentes?
How do you get denied ? And why ?
Hi I have a question did you list exactly what documents they requested one of my friends just told me they requested i-797c but I have never heard that… can you confirm if they requested that document? I’m getting my green card through my husband I know different documents are requested by who’s petitioning you.
The I-797c is just a generic “receipt” notice that they send whenever they approve certain documents. You should have received one for your I-130. Did you ever submit that one?
Hi! What was the cost of the visa? Did u have to pay anything else at the consulate? I have my interview this upcoming friday and im so nervous
You should have already paid your visa when you paid your fees online with the NVC so they will not charge anything else at the consulate
The only thing you need to pay for when you get back home or after you get approved for is just your greencard which $220 and they will mail it to you in a few weeks
Hello,
How long did your whole process take? What was your priority date?
Hi! My priority date was March 12,2018 and my appointment was Aug 3,2021
Question where do you get your priority date we got a email last year on feb 2020 that we were all set for the appointment and we are still waiting
Go on your Nic website where you did all your paper work online and it should say at the top right corner
NVC*
Ok so where I do nvc check status
Hi I have a question how long did you wait after being documentary qualified to receive a interview date? My wife was qualified mid April this year. Any info helps. Thanks
It took like 2years for me to get an interview date but that was also in the middle of covid when everything was closed. I think right now it takes about a year or less
Thanks for the info
Hello! Did you recieved your greencard two days after your interview?
Yes
My husbands appointment is next week.. how safe did you feel in Juarez ?
It was pretty safe. Everybody is mostly tourists and minding their own business. Just don’t go out at night because they don’t have a lot of lights
Hi Fernanda I have a question did you have to get the letter of antecedentes no penales?
No because I haven’t lived in Mexico since I was 2
Why ciudad Juarez can you select another city?
I don’t think you can. They assign the city for you
@@Fernandabuenn thank you Fernanda!
Anyone else’s visa stuck in “printed status”?
Hi, my case is not electrocnic do you happen to know if i need tl upload the affidavid of support to ceac?
I’m not sure. I did but only because mine was electronic. Maybe you should see if yours can be made electronic. I think they send you a letter in the mail with the option to do it when they accept your I-130
Did they ever ask to see your original I601A waiver? I cant find my original at the moment and have a copy of it though, my lawyer told me that they have a copy of that too so it shouldn't be a problem if they do ask for it since they have evidence sent to them by the USCIS. Just don't know if i should be concerned. Its the only thing i have left to find.
Hello, I never filled that one out so I’m not sure. But I think bringing the copy should at least be good enough
@@Fernandabuenn oh ok. Thanks so much. I’m so nervous and every now and then have negative thoughts. My interview is on the 1st and 2nd of February but I’m leaving Thursday of next week. I have a clean record and been doing everything right I’m sure everything will be fine but it’s just hard to stay calm or positive. But congrats on your green card. Hopefully I’ll have mine soon too.
Yea this process is so stressful but as long as you bring all your paperwork and just be honest it will be fine. Everybody at the offices are very nice
Hi. My husband just had his interview last week and they did ask to see his waiver. They didn’t ask for original though. He was approved 🙌. Good luck in your interview.
@@mariaandrade555 thank you so much for this information. You don’t know how much it just helped me with the stress and anxiety I was having last night and all morning. I’m glad your husband got approved and congratulations to you guys. Just to be sure this is the unlawful presence waiver correct? The i601a I believe it’s what it’s called? Also did he show them a copy or was it that he just happened to have the original or they tell him he just needed to show them the waiver in general?
So you didn’t have to file an I601a? My wife is about to have her interview. Her case is so similar to yours. She had Daca at 17, I’m petitioning (US citizen) for her. But I’ve seen folks say, you need it. HELP… SOS 🆘
Depends on her situation. Did she ever leave the US? If so yes. But if she never left the US and she got her DACA when she was 17 then no she doesn’t have to
I got my DACA when I turned 18 and I never left the U.S. and I didn’t have to fill that out
@@Fernandabuenn thank you so much. She has her interview in 2 days
@@besparza94 awesome! Goodluck to you both. Did you already get the medical exam?
@@Fernandabuenn yes my wife did. My wife got approved!! She had a question that I was worried about. So there was a point in time 2yrs ago when Daca renewals weren’t being given out because the trump administration had put a hold to those renewals. My wife’s Daca had expired around that time. Luckily, it was only 2 months without it. That’s also the reason why I had asked if you had to get that waiver. After reading, the waiver is only needed for those who’ve stayed in the US without Daca for 180 continuous days at any point, after the age of 18. My wife made that comment after being asked about the 2 month gap, APPROVED!
Hi fernanda I have question hopefully you can help me out do I need to get a Police clearance letter? I have my appointment the beginning of September i'm so nervous.
Have you ever lived in Mexico before the age of 18?
No i lived in the us since I was 1year.
Ok then you don’t need one. Just tell them that when they ask you for it at the appointment. That’s what I told them.. that I lived in the US since I was 2yrs old
I am going for my interview. I would like my husband to go with me but he does not have his passport. Would he need a passport to renter the US if we drive?
I’m not sure. Some people say yes and some say no. Maybe check what the rules are at the Juarez border.
questionnnnnnn, you say our latests income tax? do you mean from Mexico?
If you work in America then the latest taxes from America only. Do you have anyone sponsoring you financially? It would be there taxes that they need to see to prove that they can afford to take care of you
@@Fernandabuenn oh damn i got scared xD soy mexicana de mexico :D pero mi esposo es americano
How long did your case take from begging to end? And after your case was sent to the NVC how long did it take they to schedule your interview?

Like 5 days. From Sunday night to Friday evening
@@Fernandabuenn Did you fly there and if so, buy your return ticket that same day?
I bought a round trip ticket. Which they don’t recommend but I really didn’t want to pay for two separate tickets lol. I recommend giving yourself enough time for the medical spot before your interview and at least three business days after you interview. Also buy trip insurance just in case you need to cancel/change your flight
@@Fernandabuenn so you just booked a flight from the US straight to Ciudad Juarez?
Oh no I actually bought a round ticket to El Paso Texas and used an Uber/taxi to get to my hotel in Juarez from The airport
Do I need to have biometrics done before the 1st appointment that they emailed me? Or does the consulate schedule that? I’m not sure how that works
