Mexico

[methyl]

Hi everyone! Could someone please explain how to request a police certificate to the embassy? I'm currently in Canada and I have no idea how to do it or if there's any way my family in Mexico can ask for it on my behalf? Do your good action of the day, earn heaven and PR! ;P

We're talking about the Mexican police certificate, right? Has it been requested?
If it was requested, you should have specific instructions on how to get it included within the request letter. The instructions can be different, based on whether the application was inland or outland, and whether they think the applicant is in Mexico or in Canada. In case of applicant being in Canada they will ask for a set of documents, photos to be sent to the embassy, which will do all the work of requesting the certificate, translating it, and adding it to the case. Otherwise they will send a letter to take to PGR in Mexico directly to request the certificate, then you'd need to have it translated and send it to be included into the file.
Don't guess - just follow the instructions.

Does anyone in this group know that if VO doesn't ask for additional documents to support relationship, one cannot be asked to go for an interview?

I dont know that one CANNOT be asked for an interview... they may still call for an interview and your notes would more than likely indicate why - just my two cents

Back in Canada and the day I left (Sept 5th) my wife got COPR letter. Still waiting on passports but we only sent it last week. This is now what MYCIC shows:

Application status A final decision has been made. Please see the final decision below.
Review of eligibility Your eligiblity has been reviewed. Please see the final decision below.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check Your background check was completed.
Final decision Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.

Good evening!

I'm sorry to bother you. I have a question as my husband is from Honduras, like your wife I believe seeing the flag on your picture (I'm sorry I did not read all the messages/stories).

Do you know, even if in your case it was not necessary, where the interviews take place? Tegus?

What does the letter state when they ask for the passport? Is the passport sent to Mexico? What's the easiest/efficient way to send the passport? How long does it take for them to return it to the person in Honduras?

We deposit our file in March 2017 and the process in Mexico is started since June 15, we are starting to be a bit desperate, I know some people are waiting longer, but I'm very stressed out and starting to feel hopeless!

I thank you very much for your attention

Have a good night

I hope so too that all is OK in visa office. I texted my friend in Puebla and he said many people are still trapped in old buildings. Hopefully the visa office is more modern and withstood the quake better.

Prayers for all in Mexico and those of you here whose family are over there!

Fuerza Mexico!

Is VO Mexico closed today?

 

[majesty]

Does anyone in this group know that if VO doesn't ask for additional documents to support relationship, one cannot be asked to go for an interview?

We also have not been asked for documents nor have we heard if we need an interview. I asked the MP to find out in August, but IRCC told their office that the visa office does not release that information and will contact the applicant if he needs one. My GCMS notes generated on August 28 in the eligibility review says review required under status, but no other indications that they might ask for an interview. However, until my eligibility passes, I won't assume that they still won't ask for an interview. We are almost at the 8 month mark in processing.

Thanks and good luck to you too! The sad part of it is that there are people who have been here even longer than us! I hope we all will hear some good news before the end of the year! Also praying that the earthquake won't add more delays for all of us going through that office ....

apparently the consulate was NOT affected by the earthquake and some people are working. the government declared 3 days of mourning, however i am not sure when that started. just to give people some insight...
