The consular process in Ciudad Juarez follows a protocol established by the US Department of State. Once the National Visa Center (NVC) schedules your appointment, you must complete several steps before appearing at the consulate on Paseo de la Victoria. First, you must complete your immigration medical exam at an authorized clinic. In Ciudad Juarez, CMP (Centro Medico del Paso) is the primary designated clinic, where physical exams, blood tests, and required vaccination verification are performed. Results are typically delivered in a sealed envelope that must be presented on the day of your interview. At APM, we handle coordinating every step: from verifying that your NVC file is complete, scheduling your medical exam, preparing you for the consular officer's questions, to providing logistical support on the day of your appointment. Our bilingual team and our presence in El Paso allow us to serve you on both sides of the border seamlessly.
