Interview day 2

Day 4 Part 2

So I went up to the window I got this younger looking gentleman, he asked for my paperwork. Le pregunte si podia hacer la entrevista en ingles. El dijo que si. Las preguntas que me pregunto eran....El nombre de la persona que me solicito la petición, cuando fue la ultima vez que salí de los estado unidos, y si había sido aprobada por DACA. Cuando le respondí que si tenia el DACA, me pregunto si tenia la mica con migo yo le dije que no. I remember asking my lawyer if i should bring my DACA stuff and he said no you will not need it. In that moment I was panicking because I did not have it with me. He said to me hold on, and proceeded to  ask someone next to him my situation, I overheard the other guy tell him its up to you what you want to do. He then looked at me and said promise to rip up any DACA paperwork when you get home, I gladly said yes of course. Después me dijo felicidades y ten un buen viaje a casa. Dure como 5 minutos hablando con el.

I literally wanted to jump for joy but I maintained my composure. I was sooo relieved que no me negaron porque no traje mis papeles de DACA. So traigan todos los papeles que ustedes piensen que vayan a necesitar. Si no los usan esta bien por lo menos los tienen allí.  La espera es lo que dura mas, yo salí de allí a las 11:10am. Feliz pero toda via no acababa con todo el proceso. 

One last thing on the infamous chair color, I just want to add that about 90 percent of the people I was sitting with where all approved for their VISA. So don't let those rumors get you down like they did to me. If you go there with everything that is required and you don't lie about anything the final result will be worth it.

    Thank you, so helpful. I have my appointment jan 17, and reading this i regret even sending my daca renewal. It expired on 12/10. I just threw 495 down the drain. How much money did you end up spending with hotel? Were driving from california to try to budget.

      Im glad this was helpful :) Actually I also had to renew my DACA right before my trip. It did feel like a waste of almost 500 dollars at first but when I was in the interview room it felt a little better having it than not. As far as how much I spent on the hotel I think the total was $550 dollars, the flight was about $400 RT, Clinic tests $415, and what ever spending money you might want to take. Oh and also the $220 dollars you have to pay to get the green card once you get home. I hope this helps.

Interview day

Day 4: Part 1 The dreaded interview day.... Ok so finalmente el dia de la entrevista en el consulado llego. Mi sita era a las 9:15am mi abogado me dijo que llegara 1 hora antes, yo decidí llegar a las 8am. When you go there make sure you dress up a bit, wear something you would wear to an interview. I think it shows them you are serious about this process and want to make a good impression. I mean estas son  las personas que tienen tu futuro en sus manos so yeah.... Otra cosa definitivamente no se lleven su celulares o otras cosas con ustedes, solamente llévense sus papeles que les dijo el abogado. Be prepared to wait, from start to finish  the process took about 3.5 hours. Cuando te pones en linea they scan your passport and you go through security. Then they lead you to these huge outdoor waiting areas until you are taken in groups of 10 inside another building to talk to someone. While waiting here you see people coming out of the building with huge smiles on their faces waivi

Picture from hotel

Image
Hi everyone after much searching I only could only find this picture that I took from my stay at  City Express Junior . This view is looking hacia el sur.  I labeled it so you can better understand what you are looking at. Color Purple: This is the clinic  where I went to get my vaccinations and chest x-ray done. Color Green: Este es el puente que todos cruzan para llegar al consulado, clínicas ect.  Color Gray: When you cross over the bridge you walk to the left you will see the US Consulate                        building and if you walk about a block past the consulate you will see the ASC  building. Color Red: Al lado derecho esta el shopping mall Plaza las Misiones .  As you can see a lot of the places you will have to visit are in the same area, and there are quite a few restaurants close by. También hay un starbucks next to the mall where I spent a lot of my time :)  Hopefully this image will put some of you at ease. When I was there, they where b

Final thoughts on this process

So when I was at the airport in el paso ( ELP ) waiting for my flight,  I was looking through the paperwork given to me at the border crossing. Me acorde que el agente me dijo que cuando llegara a mi casa pagara la fee de $220 dollars. This is what is required to pay in order to receive your green card. Yo decidi pagar la fee en ese momento. Pero ustedes pueden esperarse hasta que lleguen a sus casas.  Despues de 2 semanas recibi mi green card en el correo. Then I had to go to the social security office to change my card to an official one instead of the one that DACA gives with work authorization only. Then I was done with the whole process.  Overall I was in juarez a total of 8 days and I remember thinking wow the people were extremely friendly,helpful,generous etc. I can't say enough nice things. Me sorprendí un poco porque fue totalmente diferente al lo que me dijeron de Juarez. I was told not to go out past a certain hour and how dangerous it was. At no point while I was
