墨西哥签证
这篇Wiki讨论的是如何在墨西哥申请美国签证
进入墨西哥
中国护照进入墨西哥需要签证,除非持有:申根地区、英国、美国、加拿大、日本的签证或永居,则可进入墨西哥不超过180天。这里只需要签证即可,不需要你真的能进入那些国家。举例就是,你有有效的美国F1签证,但没有I-20,一样可以进入墨西哥,他们只看你的F1签证,不管I-20。
如同美国的I-94一样,墨西哥入境时发放FMM卡。1-7天的FMM卡免费,7-180天的收费约~US$30。
- 坐飞机入境的,飞机票已经包含FMM费用,所以基本都是给180天
- 步行入境的,根据情况选择免费的7天卡,或者交费拿180天的。边境人员有时候嫌麻烦,不给卡让你直接进。但除非你待在边境城市不坐任何墨西哥交通工具,否则一定要坚持拿FMM卡。如果你从边境去内陆,没有FMM卡,可能会被当作非法移民处理
填写DS-160
墨西哥的DS-160是不上传照片的,需要到ASC (Application Service Centers) 采集。
DS-160提交以前,每次修改后,有效期30天。提交后无法修改,数据永久有效。
DS-160城市
DS-160上的城市不重要,换城市也不需要重填。参见国务院官网的DS-160 FAQ https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/forms/ds-160-online-nonimmigrant-visa-application/ds-160-faqs.html
What happens to my DS-160 if I select a U.S. Embassy or Consulate where I will be applying for my visa, but end up making an interview appointment instead at another U.S. Embassy or Consulate?
The Embassy or Consulate at which you actually apply should be able to access your form using the barcode on your DS-160 confirmation page, which you must bring to the visa interview. For example, a business traveler intends to apply for his visa at the U.S. Embassy in City X, so he selects City X as the location where he will submit his application when he completes his DS-160. He then has an urgent reason to travel to City Y on business. Because there is a U.S. Consulate in City Y, he schedules an appointment for a visa interview there, using the barcode from his completed DS-160 application for appointment scheduling. The U.S. Consulate in City Y is able to accept his DS-160 even though it lists the U.S. Embassy in City X as the location where he originally intended to submit his application.
修改DS-160信息
如果是不重要的信息,比如 intended travel dates,不需要修改。
如果是重要信息,比如换了学校,有三个选择
- 重新填DS-160,不改预约,然后在ASC拍照的时候让工作人员换DS-160
- 重新填DS-160,取消预约,然后重新约(不需要重新缴费)
- 在面试的时候把新信息告诉面试官,面试官手工帮你修改
