Traveling to Juarez

Day 1:

Empiezo por decir how ever you choose to go to Mexico its up to you. Se pueden ir derecho al aeropuerto de Juarez o like I did I took a plane to El paso Tx.  A few days before my trip tough I called my hotel in Juarez and asked them if they had a taxi company that I could take from the airport in El paso across the border to Juarez. They where really nice and gave me the name of this guy and his phone number. A little nervous I called this number y contesto un señor que me dijo que me iba a cobrar $80 para llevarme para el hotel en Mexico. I agreed he stated he would be at the airport and to look for him. When we (my mom and I) landed we saw him and got in his taxi cab, from there we drove  to a border crossing point where they checked the car, then we proceeded to drive into Mexico and to our final destination el hotel se llama City Express Junior Juarez Consulado. This hotel is directly across the street from the U.S consulate and medical offices that you will need to go to. Also it is directly next to a lot of restaurants ei. Wendy's, McDonalds, Starbucks, denny's and others. There is even a mall next to this hotel, overall its a good location. After we checked in we decided to explore  find something to eat and look for the places I needed to go to in the next few days, everything is all along the main road and very easily accessible.

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

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
