H1B Visa Stamping @ Matamoros, Mexico
Appointment date 05/18/2017.
I had taken the service of the U.S. Visa Application Service in Matamoros in Mexico managed by Mr. El Salvador who is also the manager of Best Western Hotel in Matamoros.

I arrived by flight to Brownsville Airport in Texas on 05/16/17. As advised by Mr. Salvador, I took as taxi to the local bus station which is around 15 mins away from the airport. Within minutes, he came and picked me up and drove me across the border into Matamoros. Within the next 20 minutes, I checked in at the Best Western Hotel. The room was nice and comfortable with good complementary high speed internet.

On the next day, I was taken to the ASC center for the biometrics and it took around 15 mins and was dropped back at the hotel. Spent the rest of the day watching TV and shopping at a large market which is around 5 mins walk away from the hotel.

On the following day, we arrived at the consulate at 7.45 am. There were hardly 10-15 candidates in total. My documents were checked by an official and was allowed to enter the consulate by 8.15 am. Within 10 mins, i was at the window for the interview. Just a few questions like where do u work, how long are you working for this company and did i ever change my employer. Within 5 mins, I was given a coupon and was asked to come and collect the passport at 3 pm.

By 9 am, I was back in the hotel. Mr. Salvador took me to a nice Chinese restaurant for lunch along with some other candidates who came for the visa stamping.

Everyone who attended the interview with me got their visas approved. I collected the passport at 3 pm and I was dropped at the Mexican border around 4 pm. Had to walk 10 mins towards the US border and had to go through immigration. The officer questioned regarding my scope of work and for whom i work for. Then he verified by driver's license. I was asked to pay $6 for the I-94 and walked by way out. All these took around 20 mins.

The total trip was cool and tension free and i should say one of the easiest renewals i have had during the last 9 years.
