Top Mistakes Mexicans Make That Lead to US Visa Denials

Mexicans' Visa Denials to the US: Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Mexico City - The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has seen a rise in visa denials for Mexican citizens entering the United States. Many of these denials stem from easily avoidable mistakes. A recent video by Pao Castillo, a social media influencer, highlights these common errors. Castillo explains that bringing prohibited food items, such as fruits, seeds, or certain meats, is a frequent cause for denial. "Many people do it out of habit," she says, "but it can violate agricultural regulations and lead to serious problems." Another mistake is filming in restricted areas, such as border checkpoints. Castillo warns that even recording with a dashcam can be interpreted as filming federal zones, which is prohibited. Finally, Castillo stresses the importance of honesty about travel plans. Misrepresenting intentions, even minor discrepancies, can lead to questioning on future crossings. "Don't lie to them," she emphasizes, "they know exactly how long you were in the country." Castillo's video has garnered significant attention, underscoring the need for clear communication about US entry requirements for Mexican travelers. By avoiding these common pitfalls, Mexican citizens can ensure smoother travel experiences.
