Visit Visa to Mexico

[Kastrs 723]

So I know that is is not likely that anyone can answer this question but here it is. My husband is Pakistani, living in Pakistan. My cousin decided to get married in Mexico this July. Although I do not need a visa, my husband does. There is 0% chance he will have his CR1 approved in time. I understand that if he is somehow able to obtain a visit visa to the US, the can travel to Mexico on this visa. So my question is, has anyone successfully gotten a B1/B2 visa, especially with an immigrant visa petition in progress, in order to go to a country other than the US. If anyone can give me pointers on this I would be super appreciative! Or if anyone knows how in the world to get a Mexican visa from Pakistan that would be really helpful! Thanks!

If he wants to visit Mexico then he should apply for a visa at the mexican consulate.

There is no Mexican consulate or embassy in Pakistan, that is why I asked this question.

Try calling the Mexican embassy here in the US and I am sure they can give the information you need. Here is their number (202) 728-1600.

I already called, they suggested I try to apply for a US visit visa.

a quick google suggests that there is a consulate in Pakistan.

Usually if a country does not have representation then such issues would be dealt with by consulate in a nearby country.

It really bothers me how sometimes people on this website don't even try to google stuff. The closest US embassy to Pakistan is in India.

Ok I did not ask to be insulted, I specifically asked this question hoping to elicit a response from someone who is Pakistani. I have already googled I am quite proficient in it, and despite what the results say there is not an OPEN consulate or embassy in Pakistan for Mexico, they are both closed. I have already confirmed this. There are embassies Iran or India, but then of course he would have to get a visa to go there to apply for another visa! (It says documents need to be dropped off in person) That is why I asked.

You said there was not one, but I do remember a similar situation, somebody wanted to go to Singapore? and they had to get a visa from the consulate in India.

hmm ok. I personally think that is a bit hard for him to get.

Also meaningless as it is Mexico he wants to visit.

Just wondering if there are other complications, how would he get there?

It looks like the closest Mexican embassy for Pakistan is in Iran.

And on their website they say that anyone holding a US visa can enter Mexico as a visitor for business or tourism without a visa.

So his options are:

1. Try for a US visitor visa

2. Hope that the CR1 is through in time

3. Apply and travel to Iran for a Mexican visa.

No visa is required for Mexico if you hold a visa for the US. That is why the staff at the Mexican embassy suggested to apply for a US visit visa. How would he get to Mexcio? On the plane of course

Right! That is why I am looking to see if anyone has successfully applied for a US tourist visit to go to a country other than the US, especially with a pending petition! And no there is 0 chance the CR1 will be approved in time, as you can see it was just filed AND sent to NCV (Slooooow).

Thanks!

That links says you can apply on entry, not that you do not need a visa, if you have a US visa. PR and you do not need a visa.

Pretty sure there are no direct flights which is what I meant.

If you are asking has anyone obtained a US visa stating that they do not want to visit the US but need it so they do not have to get a visa in advance to visit somewhere else, then this is a new one.

I can not imagine the US Consulate would issue a visa without assuming you would use it to visit the US.
