8 Mistakes Mexicans Make That Get Their US Visas Rejected

Mexicans Crossing US Border: Common Mistakes Leading to Visa Rejections Millions of Mexicans cross the US border annually. Many are unaware of regulations that could lead to visa problems. A recent Badabun video highlights eight common errors. Using dashcams at border crossings is one. Authorities consider this recording of federal zones, potentially leading to rejection. "They may consider you're recording federal areas," explains the video's presenter, Pao Castillo. Bringing prohibited food, such as fruits or seeds, is another. Castillo warns this violates agricultural regulations. Many do it out of habit, but it's a federal offense. Lying about travel plans also poses risks. Spending excessive time in the US without a clear reason can trigger further scrutiny. The video also cautions against anti-US government posts on social media, which can flag applicants as security risks. Bringing undeclared new goods is another frequent issue. Castillo stresses the importance of awareness. She notes that authorities check both entry and exit records, so honesty is crucial. The video concludes with a reminder that a tourist visa is for visiting, not working, even remotely. This information is valuable for anyone planning to cross the US border from Mexico.
