Review of US Consulate Monterrey

Super friendly all employees. There is free parking, only the Mexican federal police officers check the car quickly. I recommend not wearing a belt to make the entry process faster. If you have a car, it is better to leave your cell phone and any electronic object since they do not let you enter with them. If you go in Uber or taxi you can rent a locker for 40 pesos. They can not leave you in front of the consulate. It is better that they leave you later in the nursery so as not to hinder the entry of the consulate since they have it all closed with cones.

The process is very fast, I took 30 minutes in total since I took my fingerprints and they asked me for the information. I went because my visa got lost and I took all the papers as if I were going to process a new visa. They did not ask me anything, just my passport and my DS-160. I had the complaint but he did not ask me. Carry the required papers in case they are requested. It is always better to carry more than they lack. I already had a previous visa of a lifetime so I think they saw my travel history and they gave it to me easier.

DO NOT TAKE THE TAXIS OUTSIDE. They cheat you and if you do not pay them they threaten you. I recommend you ask for your Uber in Soriana.

Remember not to be nervous. Everyone is very kind and any doubt helps you. They gave me the visa two days after my appointment. They give it to you or they do not give it to you always be friendly with them and there will be no problem.
