* MISTAKES TO AVOID*
- Recently 3 to 4 clients attended visa interviews at different locations in mexico, they forgot to choose same location they attended as Passport pickup (Update Document Delivery location option) & ended up travelling to other location in mexico they choosed as passport pickup, so once you finalized the location, make sure to update passport delivery location to same location.
Ex : Attending visa interview in Monterrey, passport pickup location choosen as Tijuana, your passport will be sent to Tijuana by DHL instead of Monterrey.
