Do not take nothing with you, no bags, no phone, no makeup, no usb, nothing. If you have someone who can keep an eye on your things before you stand in line, better. If not, there is a guy over there who work at the parking next to the fingerprint location. He will keep your things until you exit. This is the guy's job, so I think it is safe. Otherwise, go to your hotel, leave the things and only take to the fingerprints money, the hotel card and the documentation you will need. Then, you have the interview at the Consulate. Also there you are not allowed to enter anything. They made me throw a little something I use to gather my hair. You will wait there for at least 3 hours, I recommend you to have breakfast before. If your appointment is at 10am, you can go before, even 9am will be fine. You will be ask to go through security, then to wait until they call you number to give your paper to someone. Then, you wait in line for fingerprint identification and then, you sit down and someone will call you for a short interview. We were lucky and our visa was delivered the next day, but I can not asure that it is the same for everyone. All the people who I first saw at the finger print I saw the day I picked up my Visa; what makes me thing that perhaps if you are not from Tijauan/Mexico, your Visa is ready right away. If they told you to pick your passport up at 3.00pm, do not try to come before time because they open at 3.00pm, sharp! Besides the regular things your lawyer told you to bring, I recommend you to take with you any documentation you think that might help: marriage certificate, bills, student card, a letter from you employer, last tax paid, driver's license. From there you can return to San Diego through Otay, it is muuuuuuch better than San Ysidro. A taxi from the consulate to the Garita can cost 100 pesos - 10 minutes drive. The same Taxi that took you to the consulate, can wait for you and take you to the Garita Otay. We slept at the Camino Real and was great. Next to the hotel there is a Mall (like UTC), where you can eat, have a coffee at Starbucks and even watch a movie for 4 dollars. We eat a lot and veeeery tasty!!! One place I recommend is Cabanna! I gave 3 starts to the process because it is annoying but very well organized by the personnel out there.

Amazing how patient, children, babies, pets and adults are to wait 3+ hours to exit Tijuana into the United States. The line snaked into four lines. You'll see children selling woven flowers, mothers with infants walking up and down the lines selling snacks. There was a churro man going back and forth. Also blind or others saying chiclets, selling gum. Many people in line bought cold refreshments like popsicles, ice cream or granita looking cold treats. Happy to be back in the United States.

This station is tucked away in an industrial/commercially zoned area but I think this station looks nicer from the outside than the Imperial Beach Border Patrol Station. It looks similar to the commercial buildings found off of Custom House Plaza Road with their large windows. Looks nice overall. I have never been inside the building but I have accessed the garage area, parking and fuel pumps. There is a field to the station's east where a pedestrian bridge is supposed to be built linking the Tijuana International Airport with the United States. After the bridge is built, Brown Field Station may have more interaction with the general public.

Throughout undergrad and grad school, I often took trips south of the border. My most common…read moredestination in baja back then was Ensenada, which sits about an hour's drive from the US/Mexico border. That drive gave me two options: the toll road ("cuota") or the toll-free road ("libre"). I always opted for the toll road, as it is heavily patrolled by law-enforcement, and the commute time is considerably less than the toll-free road. There are three toll booths between Tijuana and Ensenada, which runs you about three dollars and change per booth. Traffic has never been an issue for me on this road, and neither has anything else. The scenery along this route is beautiful! The road hugs the cliffs along the coast of Baja California Norte. If you are a fan of winding roads, a-la-PCH-in-NorCal, then you will like this stretch of road as well! Rosarito sits along this route, about 15 minutes south of Tijuana. There are also various gas stations and convenience stores along the way. I like their coffee, particularly the mochas from 7-Eleven. I also get a couple of bottles of water for my stay in Baja (do NOT drink the tap water!). This road is safe, day and night. There is often a military check point, but the personnel are pleasant people. The police are no issue either, I've only been questioned once by them. I was riding alone in a beamer in the middle of the night... Don't let the news scare you, Baja is actually a safe place to visit as long as you don't look for trouble and mind your own business. And if Ensenada or Rosarito is your destination, then take this fine stretch of road there.

Review 29 The scenic…read moreHighway to Ensenada is one of my favorites, it's beauty resembles the Big Sur to Cambria stretch of Highway. Rollinghills and quick back to back turns makes you wish you were driving a sports car. (Video) The current speed limit is 70 mph, in my opinion the highway is not designed for this speed. There's areas you could exceed 100 mph but the danger is the uneven road. That being said if you do have the opportunity to drive this highway use your better judgment, your experience and know your vehicle capability. This is a toll road with two pay booths per direction, The current toll is $2.10 per booth North and south. Mexican pesos or US dollars only, no credit cards. On weekends expect 3 to 4 sobriety checkpoints, all week you can expect a bunch of drivers that think they have nine lives. I suggest you drive this highway during the day unless you're extremely comfortable driving at night with zero street lights. Have fun responsible, peace out! (excuse the miss spells and grammar errors, talking to my phone as I'm driving) Plan B.

We arrived early and waited under the overhang to stay out of the sun. A gruff agent told everyone…read morewaiting that anyone with an 'eleven-something' appointment would be called after 11am and not before. There were maybe 15 people waiting with us. My husband was called for his 11:20am appointment, went in, took a seat and was soon called for his interview which didn't take long. You get your photo taken along with fingerprints. He had to show his drivers license, but not utilities or paycheck stub. Parking is just down the street in a free lot. My husband's approval for an interview came up about 2 months after he initially applied. I was approved to make an appointment for an interview the very next morning after applying and had my interview at the San Diego airport, which we preferred as it was not so far to drive. Making people from north county drive all the way to Otay is inconvenient. They should have satellite locations available. Hopefully if we reapply, we don't have to go through the interview process again. We flew twice domestically where one of us had Global Entry and one didn't and there wasn't much difference in the time getting through TSA, (In fact the one without G.E. was a smidge quicker on one of the legs) so not sure if it's worth it, but we'll see over the next 5 years.

I've had to come to this building twice and each time was very different. So the customer service…read moreand atmosphere consistency is not a thing here. The first visit was really smooth and really friendly. I showed up 10 minutes before my appointment, the guard was pleasant and even responded with "Good Morning" when I said it to him. Checked my ID and let me in. When it was my turn, I walked up to the booth, was asked about 4 questions and I noticed the guy had tattoos and I asked where he got them and surprisingly I knew the artist so we bonded on that. He asked me the last question and Boom. Done. Super easy super chill. Second visit was for my wife and kids. Now I knew that because my wife made the appointments, her name was on them so I probably wouldn't be let it. That's fine. So we get to the door the dude was rude to the people ahead of us and even yelled at them because their appointment wasn't till 7am. So then he yelled at everyone outside saying "if your appointment is at 7am, come back at 7am!" So we knew what to expect.... So then my wife gets in and waits their turn. The appointments were for my wife and 2 kids. So they get to the booth the agent asks for the passport. My wife hands her all 3 because he didn't specify which one. He retorts with "only yours!" He was really rude and cold with his questions, but my wife kept her composure and just let it go, then this real piece of work sees where my wife works and his tone changed... now he wants to be her friend. They got done, but their experience was not good. My kids thought they were in trouble. Thanks guy. So here's what I think: I'm not sure if these agents get instructed to act intimidating to the people who visit here, but that's really what it feels like. I say this because while we were waiting to go in the building the security guard made it his mission to intimidate all the presumably Spanish speaking visitors. What makes this worse is that he himself has shitty street tattoos and visibly looks Latino. You would figure he'd have more empathy towards older Latino elders, but no, he was cold, rude and made these older people become visibly intimidated. Also, maybe it's part of the training, but he only spoke English and when people visibly looked confused and like they didn't understand, he just stared at them until someone / anyone would speak up and help them with the translation. What I did notice is that during my visit the agents were older. At my wife's visit they were all younger like mid 20's to early 30's. Obviously, they're 2nd or 3rd generation whatever country-american or Texas Mexicans. Definitely come over prepared with documentation, because their questions are not consistent, so they can ask anything. Be ready. If your appointment is between 6am-6:59am they'll start letting you in at 6. If you show up at 6am for a 7am appointment, they won't let you in till 7am. And so on for every hour after that. So don't waste your time. Just be there 5-10 minutes before your appointment. Parking is right next to the building and across the street on the curb. Unless you have a really really really good reason to believe you can help the person with the appointment, it's very likely that you will not be let in. Even if you plan to translate for them, you won't be allowed in. The person has to be visibly unable to answer for themselves or you must have court issued documents to help them. DO NOT EXPECT FRIENDLINESS.
