### Employers Unaware of Document for Hiring Migrants

Amid delays and issues with issuing Humanitarian Visitor Cards (TVRH), many employers are currently unaware of a temporary document provided by the National Institute of Migration (INM) that permits migrants to undertake various procedures. Julia Gloria Gómez, the director of the Center for Migrant Workers’ Resources, highlighted this issue, noting that the INM has been handing out this temporary document due to the backlog in TVRH issuance.

Gloria Gómez elaborated that the lack of communication regarding this change has created barriers for migrants seeking employment, especially since many employers are not informed about the validity of this document. This temporary document has not been uniformly communicated at the federal level, confusing many institutions, including the Tax Administration Service (SAT).

She recalled instances where the SAT initially rejected migrants using the INM document due to a lack of necessary identification, such as the CURP, required for making appointments. An agreement was eventually reached between the SAT and INM, validating the document and enabling migrants to access an RFC.

Even with this agreement, the INM has not provided clear reasons for the delay in issuing TVRH cards. Future plans mentioned include a new system for requesting regularization through appointments, although this has yet to be officially announced. In the meantime, the INM continues to accept the temporary document for various processes.
