H1B stamping Nueva Laredo, MX
01/31 I did my H1B visa stamping after changed to my new employer.
Stayed in laredo,Tx and took a greyhound bus to go from laredo, Tx to Nueva Laredo, MX. Actually this was a bad decision. There a walking bridge and you can take your bags and cross the bridge and take a taxi to go to hotel. I will do that next time
So the tough part is to pay the MRV fees at Mexico. Fortunately I had a friend. I did a western union cash pickup at local store for 3890/ peso ( $199 ) and my friend paid the mrv fees at scotia bank. You can also pay it in banamax bank too.
The bus stopped at a mexican border where they will check your passport and ask for your details. If are going to stay less than 7 days you don't need a visa to enter mexico from US. Also if you have a valid visa you don't need a visa too to enter mexico.
They will stamp your entry.
Grey hound dropped me at the bus station nueva laredo. I walked to the Best western plus. You can take a taxi. 80 to 100 peso.
In booked via booking.com so breakfast was part of the deal. So i paid 95 peso and used translation to say that I'm vegetarian.
From best western you can walk to ASC ( biometric ) 5 minutes work.
Next day I left my room around 7 am for my appointment 7:45. Its 8- 10 mins.
At the consulate they , I-797, DS-160 and employer letter in the letter head.
Normal questions.. like where are you working, how long you are in US, where do you stay in US, who do you work for and where is your family etc... They literally typed everything and it took almost 5-7 minutes in front of the interviewer. They said your visa is approved and I can collect the passport at 3:30 in the same place.
I checkout my room took a taxi and collected my passport ( 20 mins ) you should be there only at 3:15 sharp and they will issue the passport around 3:30 pm.
The taxi dropped me at the border.
Dropped 4 peso on the machine walked into the US. The us customs checked my visa and issued I-94.
Back home !!!
