Step 6: The Visa Adjudication
-
If your visa is approved, you will not receive a letter or any document at the interview, instead, you will receive your packet at the previously selected DHL courier office. If you have not selected an office yet, please access: http://mexico.usvisa-info.com to choose a DHL courier office location where you would like to receive your visa. For delivery questions, please contact the DHL courier service directly at cdj.courier.passback@ascmexico.com.
-
After the interview, original personal records, such as birth certificates or marriage certificates, will be only returned if requested and only if the applicant brings additional copies to the interview.
-
If you are found to be ineligible for a visa, you will be given a refusal letter with the specific reason(s) why you were ineligible. If there is a waiver available for the ineligibility, you will be given instructions on how to apply for a waiver. Not all visa ineligibilities have a waiver. Click for more information about the waiver process.
-
Sometimes, additional administrative processing of your visa application is needed. This additional processing can delay the final adjudication of the application. In these cases, the consular officer will explain the situation and you will be given a letter with instructions on how to proceed.
-
Sometimes an officer will request additional documents, in this case you will receive a letter from the officer at the end of the interview outlining which documents are required and how to send them to the Consulate for review.
-
Sometimes, your medical exam may not be ready in time for your visa interview. If your medical exam is not ready, the consular officer will put your case on hold until your medical exam is received. In some cases, the clinic may give the results to you to send to the Consulate directly via DHL. Do NOT open the sealed packet or you will need to retake the exam.
Remember, during the entire visa application and interview process, you must tell the truth and give complete and accurate information. If you do not, your visa will be delayed or you may be found ineligible for a visa that you may have qualified for otherwise.
