Quick update: I'll have to go in for Biometrics.

 

For the people that had to redo their Biometrics even though they got waved last year, did the process move fast for you after that appointment?

So, you have to go in for Biometrics even though you got a waiver letter earlier?? Out of curiosity, how far out is your Biometrics appointment? Thanks for the update!

So, you have to go in for Biometrics even though you got a waiver letter earlier?? Out of curiosity, how far out is your Biometrics appointment? Thanks for the update!

Yes, some people get invited to a Biometrics appointment even though we all got waived.

The appointment is in 2 weeks 5/23. So at least it's moving.

Thanks, JasVW19 - good to know!

 

The reason I ask is that we're leaving in 2 weeks time for a 16 day vacation, and I am concerned about missing the Biometrics appointment in case I get a letter with an appointment that overlaps with our vacation. Is there an option in the letter to re-schedule the appointment?

Yes, at the bottom of the letter there are instructions or reschedule. Plus, some people just walked in after receiving the letter before their appointment and got it done

It sounds extension letter would not be accepted by Mexico:

https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/sanfrancisco/index.php/visas-traveling-to-mexico

 

US Residents: If your United States visa stamped on your passport already expired but you have an official document proving your legal status in USA, you must apply for a Mexican visa (I-797 A Forms, Advance Parole Forms, I-20 OR DS-2019 Forms won’t be accepted to entering Mexico), unless you have a valid Visa for any of the countries listed above (Canada, Japan, United Kingdom or Schengen area).

If you have a passport from Latin America or any country that Mexico’ doesn’t require a visa it’s okay. You don’t need any “visa”. That rule is so weird and confusing. They don’t care where you live, they just need to know where you from and if said country doesn’t require visa then you’re good.

 

Edit: I saw the person asking is from Canada. You don’t need a silly visa. Your Canadian passport is enough. Keep the green card and letter for U.S customs.
