Visa stamping in Mexico - First time

[venkatakris2000]

Hi,

I am planning to goto Mexico for my first time H1-B visa stamping. 

I found in the following old thread that first time stamping is not allowed. Has the rules changed since the following thread?

 

Thanks.

Seems it's changed, 

for 1st time stamping, your option would be to go to Home country or Canada

you cant go to Mexico for first time stamping.  its changed 9 years ago.

You cannot go to Mexico. They allow renewals only.

https://mx.usembassy.gov/visas/third-country-nationals/

1. Third Country Nationals* residing in the United States may apply to renew a visa in any category except B1/B2 or H2.  NOTE – The applicant must apply to renew in the same visa category and cannot apply in a different category.

You cannot goto Mexico for any COS (Change of Status) visa's. It's not new rule, it was active since almost a decade.
