Is there anyone going for visa stamping at Nogales on November 1 ? If so, please email me so that we can co-ordinate. I will be driving from Irvine( near Los angeles) on Oct 31. My appointment is at 8am on Nov 1.

- I plan to get the Banamex receipt on the same day as the interview. Did anyone try to get the Banamex receipt at 9am while the appointment is at 8am the same day? Are you allowed to enter the consulate without the Banamex receipt? Once inside, are you allowed to come out of the consulate to get the Banamex receipt?

- I already have a valid H1B visa, so I don't need anything. Only my wife needs a new H1B visa. I still put my name as a family member in the appointment so that I could accompany my wife inside the consulate incase she needs any help. Is that going to be a problem? Do I need to fill up the DS156/DS157 even though I don't really need a visa?

- I have a 3 year old son who is a US citizen. Will he be allowed inside the consulate?

- How do I get directions to the Mexican border from mapquest/google maps from Tucson,AZ? What is the destination address to be put in?

Thanks
