ganesha31 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi, I'm planning to go to Merida - Mexico for H1-B Visa Stamping in Feb. I got my first H1-B Visa Stamping done at Chennai in 2008. Since then I haven't visited India and I have been working here in the US. I got my I-140 approved and I'm planning to go for Visa stamping. I haven't did my Master in the US. I heard that if we don't have Masters from the US and go for Visa Stamping then it is difficult to get the visa stamping done as they are evaluating the educational qualifications again. Is this true? Has anyone recently got stamped in Mexico with EVC model and without Masters from the US? If so, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Ganesh Link to comment
Tjgarla Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello Ganesh, Nice to see someone going to Merida in Feb. I have my visa state on Feb 11th in Merida. This will be my 3rd H1B stamping in Mexico, first time in Merida. Don't worry about not doing your MS in USA. You are fine if you have all the required documents in hand. Make sure you have a Valid US Visa on your passport to travel to MExico or u need a Mexican visitors Visa. Merida is not that busy and not really strict. Link to comment
ganesha31 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Tjgarla, Thank you so much for your reply. I applied and got the Mexican visa. Good to hear that you're also going for visa stamping. I haven't checked the dates yet, but will plan around feb 11th or so. Link to comment

ganesha31 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi, Do we need to schedule an appointment one for finger printing and other for Interview? Link to comment
ganesha31 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Tjgarla, I don't see an option to schedule an appointment for ASC. Can you please guide me? Do I need to schedule on the https://usvisa-info.com two times and consider the first one as ASC appointment and the second one as Interview? Please advise. Link to comment
ganesha31 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I figured it out. First we need to schedule an appointment for consulate and then for the ASC. Link to comment

Tjgarla Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 cyanide... you need a mexican visitors Visa to travel to mexico as your H1B visa is no more valid. Your wife doesnt need a next visa . She can travel to mexico and doesnt need any extension or a new stamping to travel back. Link to comment

Your wife doesnt need a next visa . She can travel to mexico and doesnt need any extension or a new stamping to travel back. Tjgarla - thanks a lot for the reply. I had one more question. My passport is expiring 16/09/2014. I am planning to go to stamping in March 2014. I read in a couple of places that we should have more than 6mo validity on the passport.... can you advice? thanks, pramod pradhan Link to comment
Tjgarla Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I dont think you need a mexican visa if you have a valid US visa already Link to comment
ganesha31 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tjgarla, Your email id is showing as ****. Not sure how to get your email id. Bdw, I was able to schedule the appointment for both ASC and Consulate. Link to comment
ad2010 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 @cyanide-- You need to send an email to Mexican consulate: mcervantes@sre.gob.mx to schedule an appointment. You need these docs: Last 6 mos of bank statement (100% mandatory) Employment documents like I-797, current pay stubs (last 3 mos). I got my Mexican Visa in DC only. It will take 2 days to get visa and will be valid for 6 months. Link to comment

Pretty fast and no documents asked . Routine questions . Asked to come back on 12th to pickup passport . But the visa systems are down worldwide and is delaying issuing . I was asked to come today as it is issued Merida is a beautiful place. Link to comment
Consultant007 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hello ad2010, Is it possible to get mexico visiting visa with H1B stamping expired?? The mexico visiting visa application asks for US visa stamping expiration date. My Visa expired last year which is actually i wanna go for stamping. Thanks in advance. Link to comment
Tjgarla Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 They really care about the i 797 i-94 expiry. Don't worry about the H1B visa expiry date. Link to comment
Consultant007 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 You are right Tjgarla. Just so that it helps any one. Below is the list for Mexican visiting visa. Application form. Valid passport. Us embassy visa appointment letter. H1 document. 6 months pay stubs. 6 months bank statements. 36 usd cash. Employer letter. Most important is us embassy visa appointment. Have to go in person to Mexican embassy. I wanted to go to Atlanta but I was told to go to little rock Arkansas because of jurisdiction. Hope it helps someone. Link to comment
