Hey guys,

I'm just curious as to know recent processing times from Mexico Visa Office.
Our file got transfered there today and I was hoping someone could share recent timelines with them so we can have an idea of what to expect.

Thank you

Same situation. Everyone is saying that is a really slow VO to process... I am getting so scared.

Yeah same but I only see older threads about it, I would like to know if right now they are still slow or they improved their timeline.
I've seen a few people who got their PPR literally 2 months after their file was moved there. I believed one was an application from April, and he got PPR in October, and the other one was an application from February.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your timeline?

Yeah, good point. I hope they improve the processing time.

My timeline so far:
Submitted: Sept 7
AOR: Nov 2
BIL: Nov 3
SA: Nov 8 (transferred to Mexico)

Yeah let's hope so!

Our timeline is very similar, but my AOR was in September and I submitted in July, rest was the same.

We are also at Mexico! I've also heard that this office is slow but our AOR/SA/biometrics timings are in line with the other applications so hopefully it continues that way. Timeline is in my signature.

Thank you so much for sharing your timeline with us! It gives me a bit of hope looking at the dates and seeing some applications are moving at a really good timeline with them!
Just out of curiosity, are you from Mexico? And if not, was your interview in your home country or through video?
