Hold your horses, Temp Resident hopefuls

[Doyle Phillips]

Two weeks the Mexitel Citas website has been impenetrable. It is the only way you can make a date
with a Mx consulate to apply for the Temp Resident Visa. All of a sudden today the Citas website says
they are overwhelmed with work (and no set date for accepting applications). Worse, you are advised
that applications now will take many weeks to set a date.

I don't necessarily believe it. Not all Mx consulates in the u.s. are overwhelmed. I've heard of two or
three that have no scheduling problems at all.

there's more advice at the Cita website

A bit of an explanation rests in the heavy burden currently on INM staff as they deal with the large number of Central American migrants that pour daily across the Guatemalan frontier. The Consulate application and approval process for residency that you mention is only step one with follow-on tasks being the responsibility of INM back office workers. Delays are to be expected.
