How it works — step by step

Four steps. Start to finish in about five minutes.

  1. 1

    Find the direct office number

    Use the official .gob.mx or consulate website. Avoid third-party visa services that just resell the same line at a markup.

  2. 2

    Have IDs and case numbers ready

    Passport number, visa receipt, appointment ID, and date. Read these out clearly — translation handles them well.

  3. 3

    Open AI Call, set Spanish, dial

    Set the other-side language to Spanish in AI Call and tap dial. Stay through any IVR menus — translation continues with the live agent.

  4. 4

    Ask for a case number

    Always close by asking for a case number ("número de folio") and the agent's name. The transcript on your screen is your record.
