| Nov 16, 2015 at 23:59 | comment | added | user102008 | I think what is happening is that Mexico allows foreigners from certain countries to visit the "border zone" for less than 72 hours without getting another document. And if they need to travel further into Mexico, they need to get a document called an FMM at an immigration office (at the border or elsewhere). The OP crossed the border, but got the FMM on a later date. The OP was inspected when they crossed the border, but they don't always stamp passports on entry. If they OP didn't specifically request they stamp the passport, the OP may have no proof of having entered Mexico on that date. | |

| Nov 13, 2015 at 21:58 | comment | added | quinten | My Mexican stamp is a day after I left the States. I went to the immigration office in Ensenada but is was already closed. The only proof I have from leaving the usa in time is a ticket of a toll road that has the time and date. And I can proof the office in Ensenada closes at 5pm. But that's all I have. You think that's enough? | |
| Nov 13, 2015 at 6:32 | comment | added | user102008 | Is your Mexican entry stamp on the day you left or the day after you left? Because you need some proof that you were outside the US some time on the day you left, and if you don't have an entry stamp on that day, then you need to find something else, or it will be a problem. | |

| Nov 12, 2015 at 8:15 | comment | added | Mark Mayo | @user102008 he could have flown via say, Jamaica (transit) to Mexico and gotten a visa when arriving say, 30 hours after the US, in Mexico. | |

| Nov 12, 2015 at 2:51 | comment | added | user102008 | I still don't understand what you're saying. You seem to be saying you left the US by going to Mexico the day your VWP expires? (Note that the date of expiry should be "89 days" from the date of entry because the 90 days includes the entire days of entry and departure.) But they you said you got a Mexican visa one day later? How is that possible? You entered Mexico before you got a Mexican visa? | |
