Fiance Visa Mexico: After the USCIS Approval

 Once an I-129F is approved by USCIS, the paper file will be forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC). NVC will enter the case into their database, manually enter the information and run a security name check. When the security check clears, NVC will transfer the I-129F petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where the fiancé (e) resides.

 

When the Consulate General receives a fiancé (e) visa we must first send a name check for the visa applicant to the FBI. Once the name check is complete, usually within a few weeks, we send a packet of information to the applicant (Fiancée Packet).

The packet explains what documents the applicant needs to present at the time of the fiancé (e) visa interview. Once the applicant has all of the necessary documents, he or she may apply at the Immigrant Visa section on any weekday morning (excluding the last Friday of the month and Mexican and American holidays.

 

No appointment is necessary. If you have received notice from USCIS that a petition has been approved for you but you have not received any notice from the Consulate, write or call the Consulate to verify that they have received the petition from DHS.  

 

 

If dialing from Mexico, call: 01-900-849-4949, charge of $12.00 (pesos) per minute.     If dialing from the U.S. call: 1-900-476-1212, charge of $1.25 (USD) per minute.Experienced legal counsel is available at www.myfianceevisa.com
