You can fly to Tuscon(AZ) airport – around 70 miles from Nogales Border.
If you want to Drive, you can park your Own or Rental car at
“Ed’s Parking lot” which is just beside the border.
When to Fly / Book my Flight tickets ?
Explained a scenario below that gives you complete idea.
Example: If your ASC(Fingerprints/ Biometrics) is on June 24th
& Consular(visa interview) date is on June 25.
Plan to arrive on June 23rd (a Day before Fingerprints) before 6 PM MST to Tuscon Airport (or) Before 8 PM MST to Border. (Based on your package).
Also while return : plan to leave on June 25th to Tuscon after pickup & stay near Tuscon Airport (so it will easy to catch flight next day; It might cost you less than Nogales Hotel stay )
When to book my Return Ticket :
You can book your return ticket from Tuscon, Arizona on June 26th anytime. You can book 25th night hotel stay near Tuscon, Arizona Airport, so it will be easy to catch flight next day. (Uber etc., works in Tuscon, Arizona)

Eds Parking Lot, Nogales, USA to Nogales Border is within walking distance.

Also shuttles or CABS will drop you off right at the Border.

Where can i park my Car at Nogales Border if coming by Car ?

Just pay $5car (cash) to park in Ed’s clean, gated, supervised lot, and walk the 100 yards to the border, where you can walk through to meet our team. It’s a lot faster to walk through than to drive, as it takes time to cross border by car along with other cars who cross border on daily basis.

Address of Parking Lot : 149, N Terrace Ave, Nogales, AZ, 85621

Again they asked me to go back to the hotel, they said they will call in 2 hours. If I didn’t receive the call then they asked to walk in after 4 hours.

In the 4 hour window, I reached out to my legal team and explained the issue here. My legal team sent an email to the Nogales consulate (don’t know what they sent) and gave their contact details for any clarification.

At 3:30 PM MST I went again because I didn’t receive the call, they called me and told me that they verified that I’m working there and said it’s approved. They asked me to go back to the hotel and bring my family for a fingerprint and finally it’s done at 4 PM MST. We were first to go at 8 AM but approved at 4 PM. Full stressful day.
