Why applications on this route get refused
Employer not registered with the INM
Only employers registered as such with the National Immigration Institute can request work authorization for a Temporary Resident Visa on someone's behalf.
How to avoid it: Confirm your employer's INM registration before they start the job-offer authorization request.
Missing or incomplete INM authorization letter
Applying at the consulate without the INM's job-offer authorization letter and NUT number means the visa can't be issued.
How to avoid it: Wait for your employer to receive the INM's authorization letter before booking your consular appointment.
