Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. Mexico’s official appointment system lets visitor-visa applicants who live in Mexico book at any of the 10 visa-issuing posts, so people routinely book wherever the queue is shortest — often a border post rather than Mexico City. Your case file follows the appointment, not your home address.","question":"Can I schedule my B1/B2 interview at any consulate in Mexico?"},{"answer":"Each post sets its own interview capacity based on staffing and demand. Mexico City absorbs the largest share of first-time applicants, while smaller border posts like Nogales process fewer cases. The spread between the fastest and slowest post in Mexico is often measured in months — that is why checking the whole table beats checking one city.","question":"Why are the waits so different from one Mexican consulate to another?"},{"answer":"Ciudad Juárez. It is the single immigrant-visa post for all of Mexico — family-petition and other green-card interviews happen there regardless of where in Mexico you live. The wait times on this page are for nonimmigrant visas; immigrant-visa scheduling runs through the National Visa Center.","question":"Where are immigrant visas (green-card cases) processed in Mexico?"}],"generated":"2026-06-11","isBasedOn":"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"US visa wait times in Mexico — all 10 consulates compared (live State Dept data)","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html"],"type":"visa-wait-country","url":"https://migrantusa.com/us-visa-wait-times/mexico/"}
