Hello,
Does anyone know if this Machine Readable Visa process affects H1B visa appointment in CIUDAD JUAREZ as well?
Thank you...
**********************************************************
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ALL APPLICANTS
As of March 2007, TCN appointments will be scheduled at 8:00 a.m. Applicants must be prepared with their Banamex payment receipt at the time of the appointment. Please note that our normal process for
Machine Readable Visas is up to three days.
Due to an April 1, 2002 change in regulations, applicants will only be able to reenter the United States if they are found eligible for a new visa and actually have the visa stamped in their passport. I-94 forms (even if valid), accompanied by previous expired visas, will no longer be valid for the automatic re-entry of persons traveling from Canada or Mexico if during their visit they applied for a new visa that has not, in fact, been issued.
Due to processing requirements, Machine Readable Visa applicants (other than BCC laser visas) must report to the Consulate on the day of the appointment at their scheduled interview time. If the visa is approved, the Consular Officer will let you know the day and hour that you must report to the Consulate to pick up the visa, usually between 2:00 - 2:30 PM. Our Normally Machine readable visas are hand out two days after their scheduled interview; in some cases the process could delay more. We highly encourage you to consider this before making travel arrangements.
