PIMS implemented in Nogales
A friend who got stuck in Nogales has sent me this and asked me to post it.

1. there is a new process called PIMS-petion information management system, where they have to verify the i 797 in the database. most of the cases it is alreayd fed into the system, but soem unfortunate cases have to wait.. they say 1 to 3 or 5 business days but here we have seen normally 3 or 7 days practically to get it cleared.
 
note: some ppl went back if they have advance parole, but if u do not have advance arole, think of other ptions if u have to go back to india immediately as if your visas are denied or cancelled, then you will no tbe allowed to fly via US or no transit given. This depends case 2 case. In this scenario, be prepared to fly via Amsterdam as they do not require transit visas.
 
2. come prepared atleast for one week-specially with kids...
 
3.contact dept of state for more information: 202-663-1225 dial 1 first then dial 0. they will put on hold for 10 minutes to 20 minutes
 their job is to give an update about our visa case but usally they say it is still pending and will not give more informaiton
 
4. USCIS number: google search
 
5.Nogales embassy number: 52-631-3118150

H1B Stamping on 31st Jan.
Does any one have appointment on 31st Jan?

Can someone post their recent experience in Nogales? Whats the processing time there? When do you get your passport back?

AFAIK, we do not need any kind of visa/permit to enter mexico. Is that correct? Can someone please share their knowledge about this?

Thanks,
Yogesh.

In Nogales, the time it takes depends on whether the visa officer is able to locate your I-797 in their system or not according to the new changes in the process that they have to verify every I 797 in the system. Per the visa officer, who interiewed us, any h1 which was approved before Nov 17th should be there in the system and that will not take time to proccess, but my petition was approved in Oct 2007 and still they could not find me in the system which is very ridiculous.he had no answer he said he does not know..SO we are struck in Nogales. Please be preprared specially if you are coming with kids.
