Nonimmigrant Visa Clearance Procedures in Mexico Posted Sep 26, 2001 After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Mexican government has announced that for persons of some nationalities there will be an additional check by the Mexican immigration authorities. We do not have details as to what this check would entail, but apparently it can delay processing of the tourist visa application to Mexico by at least 30 days. So far we have just a partial list of the nationalities affected, as follows, in alphabetical order: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Vietnam. When we obtain any further information or an expanded list of countries, we will post an update at MurthyDotCom. Although we have written more extensively about this issue in an article for the September 28, 2001 MurthyBulletin, which you will receive Friday morning, we mention it briefly here, in case some of you were considering applying for the nonimmigrant visa at one of the U.S. consulates in Mexico. © The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C.
