NEW VISA PROCESS

In order to maintain minimal wait times, the Consulate General in Monterrey has adopted a new application process for all non-immigrant visas.  Prior to the interview at the Consulate, all applicants are required to complete a DS-160 Electronic Questionnaire via the Internet and register at an Applicant Service Center (ASC).

ASC charges a $26.00 USD service fee for scheduling, data collection and transmittal to the Consulate.  This fee also includes courier service for approved visas.

This process change went into effect on April 18th, 2008 for all tourist visa and most temporary worker visa applicants, and on September 2nd for all H2 temporary worker visas.  Now all non-immigrant visa applicants must follow this new process.*

*Note:  Applicants seeking diplomatic visas (A Visas) are the only exception.
