Summary
Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) has informally indicated that immigration processing delays are expected in the coming weeks, with the greatest impact on applications filed in Mexico City. Nationals from Colombia, China, Cuba, and Venezuela—who already face extended processing times due to higher scrutiny and application volumes—are likely to be disproportionately affected. As Mexico City handles a large share of employment- and residency-related cases, capacity issues there can cause nationwide delays. Companies and mobility teams are advised to build more time into relocation plans, ensure documentation is complete, and consider filing through regional offices where possible. With global passport and visa processing systems already strained, any disruption in Mexico City may worsen broader delays. Newland Chase is monitoring the situation closely with local experts and will provide updates once official guidance is released.
