Yes, you would require a stamping.

Go to near mexican consulate in your area with all required docs and photos.. Pay $36 and get your stamping

Hello Kalyan,

First of all tell me this,

Do you have any most recent visa stamping on your passport no earlier than September 17th, 2010 (in ur case) other than 2009

if not,

then i dont know, it would be tough...

I would say please reach out to your employer/attorney and ask for their advice BEFORE you go into MEXICO and i mean it.

Otherthing is,

To have Mexican Visa is always safe for you or for anyone.

(and/or for your family, if ur plans are to go with family,

why im saying this is because, in one of the blogs i saw u were mentioned about planing a trip with family.

You can get the Mexican Visa on same day if you have all the documents

Pls do not panic!

Well Wisher!

I had to cancel my appointments (my ASC was tomorrow) I require Mexican Visa since, my last stamped visa expired in Nov 2009.

Everybody suggested i get an entry permit at the border while crossing which was not valid in my case.

Was not ready to take a risk as I was travelling with Family.

@kvenumanohar, do you mean it will be an issue H1B Visa is expired for more than 12 Months and applying for an extension in Mexico?
