Nov 8 interview

Hi Guys,
I'm interviewing on Nov 8, 8AM too. Do you guys know where do I pay in advance so that I don't have to go to the Mexican banks?
Let me know if you guys wanna meet up. My number is 404-917-7094
 
Hello Kaalpurush,
Welcome to the group!

I was reading the experiences on different forums and they mentioned that it is perfectly okay to wait till the bank opens at 9 AM, make the draft, and then proceed to the Consulate.

I did the same in Matamoros in May 2005. I plan to follow the same step this time too in Nogales.
 
India_US,

Got your message yesterday, will call ya sometime today..I have sent $145 to Victor Garcia to get the draft. I will be getting it in the next few days.

Cheers

I have two cashiers check for Nogales

I got two casheirs check for Nogales consulate but could not use them. I can give them in half price if anybody needs them.
 
draft does have passport number but I dont think that makes a difference. It should be good enough as long as it's for the US Consulate.
 
Guys,
Once we book an appointment for Nogales, do we get the "Confirmation Letter" in the mail? If so, how long does it take to receive the same?

I already received a confirmation via email. Is this good enough to carry for the interview?

Please let me know.

OWN Passport number should be there on BANAMEX receipt.

It is highly advisable to have your OWN passport number on the BANAMEX recipt.

Cooldesi,
Please refrain from statements that might put others in jeopardy.

Hi guys,
This forum has been really helpful.
I guess, can answer all your questions....PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!
I had appointment on Nov.9,2006.
We (my wife and me) stayed at Best Western at Nogales.This hotel is run by Indian couple...realy helpful!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this place.
Next morning,we drove to the border...From Bestwesten make a right and drive 1 mile. you will see the border. make right on Mcdonald and first LEFT into the parking lot. pay $4 dollars for parking. They will show you the way to enter Mexico. Pass through the GOLDEN CAGE.....the revolving gate. YOU DONT NEED A PERMIT OR VISA TO GO TO THE US COUNSULATE. IT IS THE FREE ZONE. So dont spend money on permit or mexican visa.

Turn Right ...cabbies are standing right there....tell them US Counsulate....they will charge $7-8 dollars.(please have change or they will keep your $10 dollars...

You can walk to Banamex Bank ,and get the reciept. Bring your passport as they will need tha passport no. and address.
We had appointment at 8:00AM. We went to US coun. at 7:45 ....stayed in the line...Lady checked all the paper work. Ofcourse we did not have DRAFT.She told us to get the BAnamex reciept and join the line. Everyone get the appointment at 8:00 AM.
Dont need to use those agencies,eventhought they are reliable.
ITs totally up to you ...i got my reciept over there.

NOW here is the F***up!!!

There was a water leak inside the US embassy....so they closed it till 12:00 NOON. and told us to come at 12 O'clock......DAMN!
And told us they wont issue the passport bocoz of the delay. next day was VETERAN'S day...closed!! than Sat...SUNDAY!!!! O'my Lord!!!
So they said, if you interview that day ,we will get the VISA on MONDAY 11/13.Or reschedule for 11/13.

That was a real NIGHTMARE.
Our Visa was expired on July 24th. and we were goint to get 3 years revalidation.
So we went back to the border to come back to US side.
They gave us hard time. did our background check for 2 hours.
But guess what!!!! They let us enter back into US!!!!! THATS THE ONLY GOOD THIG.....and we cannot complain!!!

So we are going back tomorrow AGAIN...for our interview!!!!
I hope this time everything will be OK!


So after all this story....here are the guidelines:
1. Banamex reciept: Dont stress out. you can get it over there,EASY!
If you are stressing out....call Victor Garcia service.

2. YOU DONT NEED THE MEXICAN PERMIT/VISA .

3. CELL PHONE WORK AT THE BORDER SIDE. (I HAVE SPRINT)

4. You can leave all your electronic belonging outside the embassy. There is this Guy. he charges $3 dollars. Even security guard told us the same.

PRAY U DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT ...THE WAY WE DID!
Shit happens.....you gotta know how to FIX it!
Take care...
I will put my next post after we get the VISA Tomorrow!
God Bless Us All!!
