Important Update: 2023

Ciudad Juarez is good for full time employees (No 221g or any issues, delays).For someone working in IT as Contractors, there might be a chance (50-50) for visa officer to do client verification by sending email to your client (which takes 3-4 weeks on an average to clear), few clients who got 221g, we are able to guide them to come back to USA on AVR (Automatic revalidation rule), Expired US visa & valid i-797A to come back to USA & they went back to Ciudad Juarez consulate to get passport stamped once 221g (Administrative processing) was cleared.

Please Note: Technically Automatic revalidation rule gets VOID once you attend visa interview & 221g is pending. But we had a lot of clients who were able to use this successfully to come back after 221g. Coming back to the USA after 221g is pending completely depends on CBP officers who will be there at the border when you go. There is no guarantee that the Automatic revalidation rule works once you get 221g.

Info from our clients: For Upcoming IT Folks who are Contractors

For contractors who are going to Ciudad Juarez, we recommend submitting the EVC model all letters.
It seems like full time are getting passport faster
Contractor- they are not asking any prime vendor or end-client letter. Later it seems they are taking more time for passport.
So for Contractor we would advise please pass all three letters if you have it.
