Effective July 1, all E visa adjudications in Mexico will be centralized in three visa posts and all supporting documents must be presented in a standardized format.

The U.S. Mission in Mexico has announced two changes to its E visa processing procedures, both effective July 1. First, all E visa adjudications in Mexico will be centralized in three visa posts: Mexico City, Monterrey, and Tijuana. E visa processing will no longer be accommodated at other consular locations in Mexico. This change will impact both principal E visa applicants as well as accompanying family members. Second, posts in Mexico that accept E visa applications will require that all submissions of documents in support of the visa application be organized and presented in a standardized format described on the U.S. Embassy in Mexico's website.
