Preliminary FAQS’s about stamping in Mexico ?
What to do if visa gets denied in Mexico?
 Visa denials are very rare...We have seen around 3 or 4 out of 6000+ clients so far in Mexico for
H1B visa holders so far from Last 3 years , They don't simply reject your visa for no reason . As far
as your profile and your employer(not being blacklisted etc.,) profile is good, you can attend in
mexico without any issues.
 If you are specifically worried about denial, message us separately your situation, so we can
review your details and guide you what's best thing to do.
 We had clients who got approved even who had DUI(Driving under influence), its just you need to
stay around 7 to 10 days in Mexico, until you complete lab tests (In India, this process takes few
weeks to few months time as far as we heard).
 Worst case scenario – you need to plan to fly to India(which is very very rare case), we can guide
you with info when needed.
What to do if I get 221g in Mexico ?
 About 221g in Mexico : It usually takes 3 to 7 days to clear 221g in most cases as per 2019 and
2020
 Its based on different 221g's too...Sevis check, Pims check, etc.,
 Recently, during 2020, 1 to 2 of our clients who attended for emergency appointment got 221g to
check whether they fall under presidential proclamation or not (takes average of 1 to 5 business
days)
 In few locations in Mexico, in 2019, few members were able to come back through border poe
locations using I-797A while 221g is pending and went back once 221g got resolved
 Don't know if that's still possible as we have not encountered anyone trying that on 2020 due to
lack of non-emergency appointments since March 2020.
 Based on all statistics – 221g are less than home country(India) & clearance times for 221g are far
better (1-7 business days in most cases), where as in India it takes months too.
