Mexico, Latin & South America	HOLA gente de Mexico!	Glad to have found a Mexico thread!! I was wondering if anyone can help me find some timelines for a IR-1 Visa. Im just waiting for my case to be approved at NVC and sent to CJ Embassy. I want to know about how long for an interview date?? I can find many IR-1 timelines for mexico and it would really help me plan everything better if I had an idea. Thanks for any help! beckib If you search a bit, you'll find an old thread regarding timelines - slightly outdated but still a good source of information. For an immigrant visa (I-130 without I-129 filed) it takes one year for an interview date from the time the file reaches the CDJ consulate. If you file the I-129F along with the I-130 (resulting in a K3 NON-immigrant visa and requiring AOS in the US later), it takes between 4-6 months to get an interview date. really the only timelines that matter are the ones that are slightly ahead of you. you can tell if things are slowing down or speeding up. my timeline (see below) is probaly not much use since it reflected last year's situation. I think there is a timeline thingie around here. I'll see if I can find it. good luck! Daniel :energetic:	AnaAndDaniel	Male	Mexico	2006-10-12 15:56:00

Asi que va a tener que viajara para Ciudad Juarez, igual que mi novio! asi es, el conulado en Cd. Juarez esta encargado hacer esos tramites. La embajada en DF se encarrga a lo que es conocido como DCF. Eso solo es para ciudadanos de EU que residen en Mexico(bueno, el extranjero). Buena suerte!

Mexico, Latin & South America	HOLA gente de Mexico!	ME voy en Avion, mi novio ya me envió el boleto y mi POE será Washington Dulles IAD Aeropuerto.

Mexico, Latin & South America	HOLA gente de Mexico!	Saludos a todos! Nosotros nos casamos por civil en Septiembre de 2004 en Mexico. Hicimos los tramites de k3/cr1 (los 129f y 130). En Octubre 2005 mi esposa recibio su "green card". Desde ese tiempo hemos estado juntos. Les deseo buena suerte a todos que aun van en esta jornada. You can see my time line for more details. Also, on the left hand side under everyone's ID, you will see what country they are processing from, click on it and from there find the timelines of ppl going through that country. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the process. I'll try my best to answer. Daniel :energetic:	AnaAndDaniel	Male	Mexico	2006-08-22 16:27:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Mexican Girlfriend Tourist Visa	it is tough. we invited one of ana's niece's last year to visit. went through all the good stuff. they gave her a temporary travel visa stamp(??? not sure what it was. jsut a stamp in her passport saying she had permission to travell the US of a for 3 monuths). This year we did the same thing but this time the gave her a 5 (or 10, i forget) year b2 travel visa. Oh, and i almost forgot, the point is that she comes from a family with very little resoureces, is a minor so no banking info , let alone real estate. Yet, they gave her a visa. i guess they figured she is a good bet to return to Mexico becuase of her family ties. sorry I cn't give you advice on how to proceed. good luck! Daniel :energetic:	AnaAndDaniel	Male	Mexico	2007-09-05 13:21:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Mexican Girlfriend Tourist Visa	kitkat gave you pretty much all of the info. all of the ppl i know from mexico with b2 visas have steady jobs. one question to ponder would be what would be the ramifications be if she applied and was denied the tourist visa? Specifically, would it hinder any future visa application? Another option would be for you to visit when you can. If you decide toget married, then file for k1 or k3/cr1 depending on how you want to handle it. it isn't the perfect answer but that is what a lot of ppl do.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Argentinos/as?	QUOTE (JVKn @ Aug 30 2007, 12:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We got approved!! wwooohhoooo!!!!!!! Us going through Argentina are so lucky, honest. They scheduled the appointment very fast, and the interview was very relaxed, it even seemed like I was talking to a friend. It helps a lot that you submit your papers before the interview, and they'll even tell you if there's anything missing, so when you get to the interview, you just worry about talking (and those poor martyrs putting up with us, argentine SOs, know how much we like to talk ) I also understand that it helped us a lot that I had a valid tourist visa, because it's no brainer that if we were out to commit fraud, we could have just used that visa. But I still think that if you've got no red flags, and submitted everything you need...then the embassy is fair and you'll have no problems Saludos, Caro ORALE! We are soo proud of you! It will be an absolute pleasure knowing that you will be living with Justin and being happy. maybe you can start up an argentine restaurant and sell them famous argentine steaks. of course vj-ers get a discount. che Daniel :energetic:	AnaAndDaniel	Male	Mexico	2007-08-30 15:00:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	Argentinos/as?	QUOTE (JVKn @ Aug 14 2007, 05:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is funny QUOTE CHE BOLUDO ! A GRINGO'S GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING THE ARGENTINES When your Argentine friend shows up late to meet you and tells you "Che chabón, no sabés! se cagó la chata en la loma del orto y nos quedamos en bolas!" Do you wish you had paid more attention in Spanish class? No worries, it wouldn´t have helped you anyway. This book will. Argentines speak a different type of Caste-shh-ano that can leave even the most fluent of gringos struggling to keep up. "Che Boludo!" will not only provide a few laughs but really help you understand just what all of these chamuyeros are talking about. note: I was going to get it for Justin but it's filled with bad words Saludos, Caro there is a similar book for mexican sayings. BAD mexican sayings. good luck with the interview. we did the cr1 interview and it was easy. rule of thumb is that they look for signs that you are not a real couple. if you go prepared and since your sincerity will shine through, you will have no problem. Now if you are a fraud and start to sweat.. problema! No te preocupes. Les va ir bien. Che. Daniel :energetic:	AnaAndDaniel	Male	Mexico	2007-08-18 09:13:00
