GIRL when is your appointment??
You need to visit www.immigrate2us.net RIGHT NOW
This site is helping me file a I-601 waiver entirely on my own..
The support there is awesome..
Let me tell you, judging from your questions you are NOT prepared but do not worry you still have time. If you are prepared you will get approved. You HAVE to take this opportunity.

Please email me at bj_osterhout@yahoo.com

My husband also came at the age of 2/3 years old and they DO look at this as a factor but you need a I-601 waiver, a letter proving EXTREME HARDSHIP TO A US CITIZEN SPOUSE and PAGES of evidence to back it up.

If your immigrant visa petition was sent to Juarez even though you're married to a US citizen and living in the US, I have to assume you entered the US illegally and have no current status in the US. Normally, if you've entered on a visa, even if it's expired, you can adjust status in the US and if you have some current non-immigrant status, it's no problem to adjust here.

The reason I bring this up is that if you are in fact here illegally, you are currently ineligible for a visa for up to 10 years. While you can apply to USCIS for a waiver of that ineligibility, it does take them a while to process that, but I can't really say how long. Until the visa has been approved by the consulate and the waiver granted by USCIS, you would not be able to re-enter the US. If you weren't married to an American, you probably wouldn't be eligibible for the waiver or have any other path to become legal in the US, so being married to an American certainly helps. But it's entirely possible that you'll be stuck in Mexico, while everything is being processed.

Edit: Your college education is not a factor in you immigration case which is based on your marriage. Makes life easier otherwise, of course. Unless you had some sort of status when you came to the US, you can't adjust while in the US and that's why your case has been sent to Juarez. You might want to consider talking to an immigration attorney, but I think you'll hear many of the things I've already told you. You should ask especially about the waiver process and how long that will take.

Mimi,

Are you Mexican? If so, just come on over!! The rest of your countrymen do with no quams.
