I’m watching yours too. I think I will order the notes in the next couple of weeks. I don’t think it will give me any useful info but I’m hoping it might nudge them to open my file at least.

Hey guys,

I'm just curious as to know recent processing times from Mexico Visa Office.
Our file got transfered there today and I was hoping someone could share Subway Prix recent timelines with them so we can have an idea of what to expect.

Thank you
Visa processing times can vary based on the type of visa, individual circumstances, and the current workload of the visa office. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend checking the official website of the Mexican embassy or consulate handling your application. Many immigration authorities provide estimated processing times on their websites. Additionally, you may consider reaching out to the embassy or consulate directly or consulting any communication you've received from them for more information. It's also a good idea to check forums or online communities where individuals share their visa application experiences. Keep in mind that processing times can change, and factors such as the type of visa and the volume of applications can influence how long it takes to process an application.

I am not sure how these affect the timelines but, I've been keeping a close eye on some data from both Mexico and some South America countries.

By November (when our application was moved to Mexico) their Visitor Visa time was 69 days and their Work Visa was 6 weeks.
Right now their processing times for Visitor Visa is 52 days and for Work Visa is 4 weeks.
So from my understanding, and again I don't know how these affect the actual PR cases, it seems like it they are improving times.
Brazil and Argentina on the other hand had an increase in their processing times.

It is also worth noting that, using data from previous people that had applications sent to Mexico VO, when they ask for Medical it is closer to the end. Usually they ask for medical and people get their PPRs in about two months after.
The majority of people that get asked medical alongside with biometrics is because the processing centre did so, but that doesn't mean their application will be faster or slower than ours.

Did you try ordering GCMS notes? Just to have an idea of what is going on.
Have you traveled to any other country before?

You should get an update soon, if not I would also suggest you applying for a TRV, maybe that could give them a nudge to finish your application.
