Immigration Route & Checklist — FAQs

Is this legal advice? Will you represent me at INM?

We’re a legal concierge. Independent licensed immigration attorneys provide the route letter and checklist. We don’t appear in person at INM; if you need representation, we’ll connect you with a suitable law firm.

Do requirements change by consulate?

Yes, practices can vary. Your letter notes any known local practices for your chosen consulate and the local INM office, based on current experience.

How fast is this?

We reply within 1 business hour during 09:00–19:00 ET. Delivery is usually within 24–72 hours after intake confirmation.

Can you also prepare my forms?

This item is a route letter + checklist. If you need help filling forms or scheduling, ask the concierge and we’ll scope it as an add-on or refer you to a firm that provides that service.

Can I use this if I’m outside Mexico?

Yes. Most steps start at a Mexican consulate abroad. We work by email, so you can be anywhere.
