5/20/2014 Matamoros F-1 Visa Renew
I just successfully renewed my F-1 visa at US consulate in Matamoros in a
two-day trip. I promised Salvador to share my experience with you guys and
here it is.
5/13/2014
I filled in the online DS-160 form and then scheduled the appointments for
Applicant Service Center (ASC) on 5/19 at 3:30 pm and consulate interview on
5/20 at 10:30 am.
https://usvisa-info.com/en-mx/selfservice/ss_country_welcome
The MRV fee is 160 USD and you need to pay it first in order to make the
appointments. Note that the consulate interview was firstly asked to be
scheduled and then ASC appointment. However, you need to visit ASC before
going to the consulate. You don’t want to mess them up when making
appointments. Here is an example of mine:
After that, I contacted the well-known Mr. Salvador Castañeda via email
. Salvador is his first name so please do not call him Mr. Salvador.
Salvador owns business in Matamoros but lives in Brownsville. You may reach
him at s******[email protected] or (956)-545-5255 (US cell number), as shown
below:
He told me that a Chinese student from TAMU helped him set up a website,
where you may find more information on his service and trip suggestions:
www.mexicovisaservice.appspot.com
The lodging fee for one night is 93 USD + tax = 110.27 USD (1418.62 peso).
You need to notify him beforehand so that he can reserve a room for you.
5/19/2014
I left College Station at 6:00 am and drove all the way to Brownsville in 7
hrs (6 hrs on driving and 1 hr on food and fueling). I met Salvador at
SUBWAY Restaurants (it is in the same building with Bus/Railroad Terminal,
755 International Blvd, Brownsville, TX 78520), which is 2 blocks from the
UETA parking lot. Please note that we cannot find this branch through UETA
website. You may want to search for Baja Duty Free first (1401 E Washington
St, Brownsville, TX 78520), and UETA parking lot is just opposite to it as
shown below:
I paid for 3 days (15 USD). Afterwards, Salvador drove me across the border
from US to Mexico through a bridge with his special permit. If you want to
go across the border, you may want to take Gateway International Bridge
instead. The fee is 3.25 USD for vehicle and 1.00 USD for pedestrian.
Please note that to help you cross the border and bring you to the hotel is
not a part of his service. You need to count on yourself.
We entered Mexico at around 1:30 pm and Salvador drove me to ASC for
fingerprinting directly before hotel check-in. He told me that it was fine
to go there earlier. The whole process went smoothly and I was all set
after 10 mins. Please note that parking is not free in front of ASC (10
peso) and cellphone is not allowed in ASC. Then, Salvador took me for a
short trip near his hotel before I finally checked in at 2:20 pm.
I took a nap thereafter and had dinner (195 peso) at the restaurant on the
first floor of the hotel, as illustrated below:
5/20/2014
I had breakfast (free of charge) at 8:30 am on the first floor. Then,
Salvador drove me, together with another three guys from different countries
, to the US consulate at around 10:15 am. We were lucky because the line
was a relative short one. The majority in the queue were Mexicans, of
course. Again, cellphone is not allowed in the building.
After security examination, we need to wait for fingerprint confirmation,
followed by the interview. Since I just wanted to renew my visa, the VO
mainly focused on checking my major, university, and finial support.
Frankly speaking, I don’t believe he is familiar with university transfer
issue (after obtaining my MS, I went to a new university for PhD) or
research assistantship (e.g. RA covers tuition & insurance and offers
monthly stipend), so be prepared to solve all his concerns. I answered the
questions confidently and then he agreed to pass my visa after the 10-minute
conversation at around 12:00 pm. Luckily, all of us passed the interview
and were told to come back again between 3:00~3:30 pm to pick up new visas.
After that, Salvador took us on a tour of the local market, theater, and
plaza. Generally speaking, Matamoros is similar to a small Chinese city in
the 1990’s. US bills are acceptable and the goods prices are negotiable.
To my experience, it is highly recommended to start the bargaining at 50% of
the original price. You may obtain a general outline of Matamoros from the
following photos:
The tour ended at 2:20 pm and we went back to the hotel. Food is really
cheap here and I spent 120 peso on lunch. The hotel offered a late check-
out service so that you might stay in your room until 2:30 pm.
We left our luggage at the front desk and Salvador took us to the consulate
again. Here, we had to wait in the queue, pass the security examination,
and then get our passport plus new visa from the window at around 5:00 pm.
Well, it’s time to say goodbye to Matamoros.
Salvador drove us back to his hotel to get our luggage, and took us to the
Mexico-US border.
Mexico-US border (Mexico side):
Mexico-US border (US side):
Please note that you do not need to wait in the endless queue. Just pass
through the glass gate in the picture above and walk into the waiting room (
on your right hand side) to obtain a new I-94 (6 USD) and a check on your I-
20. You will also get a orange piece of paper reads “cleared” from the
CBP officer, which means that you may enter US without waiting in the queue.
I entered US at 5:30 pm, got my car, and paid a short visit (5 mins) to the
South Padre Island. Then I drove all the way back to College Station and
finally lied in my soft bed at 1:00 am. This trip is amazing!
Given more time, I would definitely stay in the island for a day or two. I
took the following pictures when heading for the island:
Queen Isobella Causeway:
Isla Blanca Park:
I would like to sincerely thank Salvador for making our lives much easier
and I would highly recommend his service to you.

第十一卷 真仙降世 第两千两百九十二章 空鱼圣物
“二位道友也知道时空之力。这也好,韩某愿意停手缘由,就不用多解释了。”韩
立扫了血燃二人一眼,神色不变的说道。
血燃黑鳞神色一下异常凝重,二人互望一眼后,才由血燃继续说道:
“此女竟然领悟处了时空法则之力,的确不是好招惹的,姑且听其如何说吧。但此
行目的无法达到话,我兄弟绝不会轻易罢手的。”
“道友听见在下同伴之之言了。可以给你一个机会,但若不能让我们满意的话,就
算你能够幸免,贵族其他人却决逃不掉的。”韩立点点头,转首冲少女淡淡说道。
“哼,听阁下口气,好已经吃定我们一族了。继续争斗下去,鹿死谁手还不好说的
。”妇人在城墙上闻言,当即脸色一沉。
“是吗,要不要继续动手试试看。”黑鳞两眼一翻,冷笑的说道。
“这位道友、母亲大人,不用再争执什么了。先前听诸位之言,进入此界目的是为
本族晶核而来,可是真的。是不是诸位拿到了晶核,就肯乖乖退出此界了。”血裙少女
一摆手,制止了争执,平静的冲韩立问道。
“不错。但我们要的只能是成年体晶核,其他晶核却是拿来无用的。先前道友传音
说,可以满足此要求。难道贵族想通了,愿意主动将自己晶核交出来了。”韩立双目微
眯,不动声色的反问道。
妇人和在场修罗蛛族人一听此话,脸色都微微一变。
对它们一族来说失去了晶核虽然不至于当场而亡,但也是轻则元气大伤,重则后患
无穷的事情。
“让小妹和其他族人交出自己晶核,自然是不可能事情。
但是我们一族在此界屹立也有一些时间了,手中倒是保留了一点其他成年族人的晶
核不是不可以给你们几块的。”血裙少女嫣然一笑,回道。
“什么,此事不行!那些晶核是要留有大用的。”一听此话,韩立等人还未来及露
出喜色,修罗蛛族母却一下大叫起来。
少女眉头一皱,嘴唇微动的传音了过来。
“母亲大人,我已经将时空之力参悟出来到时也有办法将此法则之力传授给你,这
些晶核倒不是必须之用了。况且,女儿也没说白白将这些晶核给人的。”
“樱儿你的意思是,……”妇人神色一动,似乎一下想起了什么。
“母亲大人,难道忘了空鱼族的那件圣物。不是一直因为人手不足无法打捞上来吗
!能弄到此物的话,岂不是比那些晶核空留手上强的多了。不要忘了,两种法则中的空
间之力才是我们一族更需要参悟的东西。”血裙少女再传音过来。
“若能得到此物,你是否有把握更进一步领悟空间之力的玄妙?”妇人脸色阴晴变
化了几次后才有一丝迟疑的问道。
“母亲大人放心,原本我就已经时空法则上卡在了瓶颈上,等将那老家伙的元婴炼
化滋补神魂,再加上这件圣物的话,突破是十拿九稳的事情了。”血裙少女毫不犹豫的
回道。
“好,既然你有信心我就不再阻拦了。”修罗蛛族母终下定了决心。
血裙少女轻声一笑,显然对妇人此决定早就有所预料的。
对面的韩立等人,自然也看出了少女和修罗蛛族母之间的传音密探。
故而等她们看似统一意见后,血燃就忙先问了一句:
“若是能够拿出晶核,我等之间自然也没有争斗下去的必要了。但不知能拿出几颗
来?若是太少的话,也没谈下去的必要了。”
“诸位道友打算要几颗?”少女不置可否的反问一句。
“这次我们如此多人进入此界,起码要三四十颗才够用的。”血燃不加思索的说道。
“三四十颗?道友还真是狮子开大口!不要说一部分晶核已经被族中消耗掉了,就
算之前也绝没有如此多数量的。”血裙少女冷笑了一声,说道。
“哦你们一族可以拿出多少枚来。”血燃听到此话并未动怒,反冷静问道。
“顶多八颗,应该也够你们用了。”血裙少女眼珠微转了几下后,才悠悠的说道。
“八颗,绝对不行。还不够我们四人分的。”血燃脸色一沉,用生硬口气说道。
“八颗晶核,足以让诸位一人分上两颗,怎会还不够的。几位可不要太得寸进尺了
。而且就算我们拿出这八颗晶核,也不是白白交出来的。诸位必须帮我们一族一个小忙
才行,毕竟世上没有白吃的午饭。”血裙少女眸光一闪,淡淡说道。
“需要我们帮什么忙?说来,姑且听上一听。”韩立一直神色平静,听到这话时,
终眉头一挑的接口了一声。
“很简单,我需要诸位助我们打捞一样宝物。只要这宝物到手,小妹就可做主立刻
将晶核交给几位道友。”少女嘴角一翘,泛起一丝笑意的说道。
“什么宝物,在何处,以你们一族的能力,竟无法拿到手?”韩立目光一闪,似笑
非笑的言道。
旁边血燃和黑鳞闻言,也有些异样的互望了一眼。
“什么宝物诸位就没有知道的必要了,只要知道此物只对我们一族颇为重要就行了
。此宝现在沉没一处寒潭之中,里面奇寒无比,即使大乘存在也无法进入深处中。不过
几位也不用担心什么,早在许多年前本族就想出了打捞办法,到时只是借助几位一点点
力量而已,根本不会有任何危险的。”血裙少女似乎看出了血燃等人的顾虑,妩媚一笑
的说道。
“二位道友觉得如何?”韩立沉吟了一下后,转首问了其余二人一句。
”若是没有危险的话,倒是可以一试的。但是八颗晶核,还是少了一些,我们几人
不好分吧。嘿嘿,此事就由韩兄做主吧,相信不会让我兄弟二人失望的。”血燃和黑鳞
传音商量了几句,就嘿嘿一笑的回道。
“既然这样,那韩某就做主一回了。樱道友,你也听到我们的商量了。这样吧,十
二颗晶核,一颗也不能少,我们就可以助你打捞那件宝物。但是这些晶核必须先预付一
半,而且打捞时遇到一些危险事情,我们可不会继续下去的,但是后面晶核还是照收不
误的。另外,我们也没打算在此界逗留太长时间,打捞宝物的话,越早动手越好。”韩
立想了一想后,冲少女不慌不忙说道。
血燃黑鳞一听晶核数量,神色微微几分异样,但却军均没有出言打断的意思。
“十二颗晶核……好,那就是十二颗。诸位道友要是再多要的话,本族也的确拿不
出更多的数目了。那就如此说定了。至于何时打捞,若是几位没有问题的话,一会儿就
动身如何?”血裙少女只是略一考虑,竟一口的答应下来,似乎比韩立等人还要急切几
分的样子。
“好,道友先准备一下吧,我这就将最后一位同伴也唤回来。”韩立点下头说道,
袖子一抖,顿时一块玉佩在手中一卷而出。
单手连点之下,一行淡淡银文浮现而出,一闪之下,就没入玉佩中不见了踪影。
对面少女嫣然一笑后,也传音给妇人,让其同样用秘术联系那四名成年修罗蛛。
而高空之中,那头召唤出的紫色孔雀在奕姓老者法力支持下,体积越来越小,也终
于一声哀鸣的被银色巨鸟硬生生吞噬了进去。
“砰”的一声后,那盏古灯从高空一坠而下。
韩立没客气的单手一抓,就将此宝摄入了袖口中。
其他人见此情形,虽然知道那件古灯是一件异宝,但自然也好阻拦什么。
下面的时间,石城光幕内外一时间恢复了平静,双方全都在静静等着什么。
一盏茶的工夫后,远处天空中波动一起,一道白虹浮现而出,往韩立这边激垩射而
回。
几个闪动后,遁光一敛,韩立附近就现出了莫简离身影来。
这时的莫简离,脸色有些藏白,身上一件青色战甲遍布一道道裂痕,气息也比先前
明显弱了近半之多,隐约有几分狼狈的样子。
“韩道友,修罗蛛一族真愿意交出晶核了。它们怎会同意此条件的。咦,此女是谁
?”老者方一现身而出,就急忙冲韩立热切的问道,但目光一扫血裙少女,又怔了一怔
,。
“这边出了一些变化,的确不用再和他们争斗了。此女神通非同小可,就是这变化
出现的诱因了。莫兄对此没有什么意见吧!对了,那些成年修罗蛛呢?”韩立微笑的回
了两句,往其所来方向望了一眼,未再看到其他遁光出现,不禁有些诧异的问了一句。
“不用拼命就能得到晶核,这自然是再好不过的事情。那四头修罗蛛,被我精心布
置的一个法阵暂时困住了。我一人之力斗它们还是大为吃力,不但两头灵宠都身受重伤
了,这法阵也根本无法困住它们多久的。”莫简离闻言,脸上一喜,口中急忙解释了两
句。
“原来莫兄借助了法阵之力,这的确是一个不错的办法。”韩立点点头,倒是有一
些意外。【未完待续。如果您喜欢这部作品,欢迎您来起点◣起点首发◥投推荐票、月
