Until now, Mexican children under 14 years of age did not have to pass an interview to enter the United States. That’s over

Mexico is preparing for an image that is difficult to see in recent years. With the changes in immigration policy and of access to the United States As a backdrop, the Trump administration has decided that both Mexicans under 14 and those over 79 will no longer be exempt to pass an interview with a consular officer to obtain their “non-immigrant” visas. In practice, this will affect children and the elderly who want to travel to the neighboring country to spend their holidays, for studies, business or for medical reasons. What has happened? That the US State Department has changed slightly the guidelines that Mexicans who want to apply for a nonimmigrant visawhich is used for tourism or business trips. And it has done so in an aspect that has generated some expectation in the country. From now on (from a few months ago actually) and as a general rule, Mexicans under 14 years of age and those over 79 must undergo a consular interview in person to obtain the document, just like the rest of the population. So far both (children and elderly) They used to be exempt. What does the US say exactly? The guideline collected in the official website of the US Embassy and Consulates in Mexico is quite clear: “All applicants for non-immigrant visas to the US, including those under 14 years of age and those over 79, will generally be required to appear for an in-person interview with a consular officer.” There are some exceptions, although for specific cases and as long as those involved meet “certain requirements”, such as presenting the petition in their country and not having been rejected before. For example, applicants for diplomatic visas or those who want to renew their B-1, B-2, B1/B2 permits or Border Crossing Card or Folio are exempt from the obligation. Of course, your passes cannot be expired for more than 12 months. This is also new, as remember The Country. Before they could take advantage of Dropbox process (visa interview waiver program) for 48 months following the expiration date of the document. Screenshot of the official website of the US Embassy and Consulates in Mexico. Why is it important? For several reasons. The first, as has been responsible for highlighting part of the Mexican press, is that in practice the change will mean that children and octogenarians will have to meet in person with a consular officer if they want to obtain their visa. In the case of minors under 14 years of age, it is no longer useful for their parents to come alone with all the documentation. The second reason is that the concept of “nonimmigrant visas” is broad. The list published by the US Department of State shows that its vast range includes those people who want to cross the Mexican border for business, tourism, to receive medical treatment, as athletes, to study or work as seasonal agricultural workers, among other cases. What do you recommend doing? The range is so wide that there are those who advises plan the procedures well in advance, especially at the busiest consulates, and starting from the base that the applicant will most likely have to pass the interview. The US administration itself remember That, if necessary, the consulate can request this procedure even from those who are exempt. Is it something exceptional? No. The US has tightened the access conditions for citizens of other countries (not just Mexico) and has become stricter with the requirements required of applicants for family-based immigrant visas. At the end of 2025 even transcended a proposal from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that proposes that foreign travelers who want to cross the border in the United States must reveal up to five years of their network history. In the case of consular interviews for Mexican visa applicants, the change in criteria has come up against another handicap: a confusion in the dates. As remember The ImpartialIn July 2025, a guide was published that advanced the changes and stated that these would come into force as of September 2. According to a later update, the change was activated later: in October.

You will do your next job interview with a robot. That dehumanization is unraveling candidates

A young woman named Ken public In its Tiktok account (@its_ken04) a 25 second video that quickly went viral. In him this user showed how he was being interviewed by Alex for work. The problem is that Alex was not a real person, but a virtual avatar with AI. One that also began to hallucinate and demonstrates that the dehumanizing experience of looking for work is going worse. Robots -made interviews. Both recruiters and candidates They use AI to advance increasingly broken selection processes. The consequences for each other, yes, are very different. The candidates who face the job search process already used to meet a dehumanizing experience, with rough processes and lack of response by recruiters. Now things are going worse, because AI is doing those even more terrible processes. @its_ken04 It was genuinely so creepy and weird. PLEASE STOP TRYING TO BE LAZY AND HAV AI TRY TO DO YOU JOB !!! It gave me the creeps so bad #fyp ♬ Original Sound – STIs Ken 🤍 My interviewer alucina. Ken counted in 404 average His recent experience when interviewed by a bot called Alex and developed by the company APRIORA. During the interview Ken, who was looking for work near his home in Columbus, Ohio (USA), saw how the virtual avatar stuck and repeated the phrase “Vertical Bar Pilates” 14 times in a row for no reason. A spooky experience. Before the interview, the company warned it that AI would be used during the selection process. Despite that notice, for Ken the experience was “spooky and I was scared. I did not make any funny until I published it in Tiktok and the comments made me feel better.” The video already has more than 3,600 comments, and in all of them the support to Ken was unanimous. And in many cases the conclusion was the same. I will not interview myself with an AI. Ken already made it clear that “if another company wants to speak with an AI I will simply decline that offer.” Who commented on their video published similar answers. “If you don’t take the trouble to interview myself, I will not take the trouble to try to work there,” said one of the comments. In another, a user who had responded to an offer for a Human Resources department, asked “why would I want to work in human resources in a company that is not even worthy to have a human interaction?” The promise of recruiting robots. Aguriora was founded in 2023 and its managers promise that thanks to their robotic recruiters, companies can hire “87% faster” and conduct “interviews 93% cheaper” because several candidates can be interviewed at the same time. One of the co -founders, Aaron Wang, explained in Forbes for months to “the candidates prior to interviews in many cases, because that reduces their anxiety and allows them to perform in the best possible way during the interview.” @PetobSesed777 Should I Email Them? I was expectating to Real Human. They Didnt tell me ahead of time theyd use ai. #ai ♬ Original Sound – Freddie Generalized rejection of the IAS that do work interviews. That does not seem to be the feeling of those who are interviewed. In Slate They narrated the experience of a videographer named Tyler Jensen, who was also found being interviewed by an AI that began to get stuck. Other users who have gone through the process have ended up publishing memes and false and satirical videos In Tiktok trying to ironize about an increasingly dehumanizing experience. Some even are found by surprise with which those who are interviewing them is an AI. In all cases, the sensation is the same: disappointment for the growing dehumanization of a process that was already hard and usually demoralizing. What do experts say. Mike Peditto, a practical expert consultant for interviewers, explains that technology can certainly help filter candidates. In fact, it made it clear that this will go more: “It is becoming something gigantic. I think we are going to a future in which (the work interviews carried out by an AI) will be generalized.” But he also admitted that “there is a slow will to adopt by job seekers, which I understand perfectly.” An industry contaminated everywhere. The job search processes have long been corrupt. Interviews are only part of the work, because candidates too They try to save work and apply to many offers at the same time with CV that they make with the help of the AI ​​and that customize for each job. As if that were not enough, candidates “train” Chatgpt simulates being the recruiter. The AI ​​is everywhere, and although it can certainly be helpful, it is generating even more problems for either side of the equation. And the algorithms fail. We have already seen how to delegate certain processes so that it is the machines and algorithms that take care of them can be dangerous. It happens of course in the field of job search, where for months some companies They use AI systems to analyze and filter the curriculum vitae with the so -called monitoring algorithms of candidates or ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems). A study by the University of Washington He indicated how AI systems favor 85% of the time to those CVS that belong to names of men traditionally used in Caucasian men. In fact, that same study indicated how black men were the great harmed, and were rejected by these systems almost 100% of the time.

Someone used AI to overcome an interview on Amazon. His success has made Google see his candidates face to face

There is a thin line Between genius and deception. With the arrival of artificial intelligence, this line is fade even more and the scope of work interviews are a good example of this. A student exceeded a technical interview of Amazon helped with AI and his success has had consequences: someone gave him away to his university, he has created a company so that others use AI in their work interviews and Google will stop doing their work interviews remotely in the face of increased the use of AI by the candidates. The debate on whether the use of AI has been opened in a job interview It is cheating Or it is to use the tools at your fingertips to find a solution to the problem. Entrepreneur or cheater? According to published CNBCChungin “Roy” Lee is a 21 -year -old computer student at Columbia University who got some work interviews in large technological ones such as Amazon, Meta or Tiktok. During the remote technical interview with Amazon, the student used an AI tool that he had created with which he could easily answer the programming questions and tests asked for the Amazon recruiter. “Today, everyone program with the help of AI,” said the young student to CNBC. Technical tests are an essential requirement to access engineering positions in these large companies so the young man had no choice but to prepare conscientiously as can be checked on his profile of the website of the website Leetcode training. Such and As you collect Gizmodothat training was one of the hardest tasks that Lee faced. “It was one of the most unhappy experiences I’ve had programming. I felt that I had to do it. It was something I needed for a job in a large technological company, and there was so much to learn, so much to memorize, and so many random problems that I could wait for me to ask me. He made me hate the programming.” According to the student, the problems that arise in the interviews are very unlikely and more a “theater” approaches in which the interviewee pretends that he has never seen that problem, when in reality he has already studied and memorized his solution. “They are not representative of what you do as a programmer at work,” said the young man. To lighten this “technical procedure” the student used a tool he had developed to successfully overcome his interview with Amazon. The test result was a success and ended up receiving a job offer in the company, although the young man rejected it since the interview was only a way to test his tool. A video with the recorded test that hung on your YouTube account (now not available) and on the tool website are proof of this. Chivatazo and university file Days after his technical interview, Lee received a notification from the University of Columbia informing him of a disciplinary hearing that the teaching entity had opened to the second year student, as you can read in the letter that Roy Lee has published In his X profile. As published by Gizmodo, the University showed its rejection of the use of AI tools as “support” to these technical tests, which it considered as a trap. “Amazon has a long tradition of collaboration with Columbia Engineering … and we are deeply worried that situations like this occur. We trust Columbia will take the appropriate measures regarding this student and we hope to continue with this long collaboration,” says the university in its writing. The young man, far from being concerned about the measures undertaken by the entity, offers the tool so that other students and candidates can use it in their interviews. Face to face in technology Due to the increasingly frequent use of these AI tools during interviews, great technological ones are thinking about again doing these technical interviews in person. Such and As I pointed out Cnbc en One of the latest meetings of L sundar interviews in person. This request contrasts with the fact that, only a few months before, the own Google CEO admit That, thanks to AI, around 25% of the Google code was generated by artificial intelligence. The use of AI is increasingly present in selection processes. From the Use of candidate monitoring algorithms (ATS for the acronym in English of Applicant Tracking Systems), that They automatically select the curriculum of the most appropriate candidates, to methods of training for candidates Based on chatgpt or, like Roy Lee, the Use of AI during interviews remotely The use of AI tools in selection processes, especially by candidates, has opened A debate on social networks On whether this is a lack of ethics, or is as valid as any other tool with which you work daily. In this debate, there are those who see right to use these tools during the interview whenever it is done transparently, since it shows that the candidate has resources To find the solution to a problem. “I remember that once, more than a decade ago, I said in an interview: ‘I do not know that specific command, but there is Google for what we do not know.’ assures a user which raises an equivalence between the use of AI and the search engine. Others, on the other hand, ensure that the objective of these tests is precisely to check the programming skills. If it is altered using AI, loses its reason for being.
