I got denied at the border in Mexico City and had to figure it out fast

I was trying to cross into Mexico from Guatemala back in March 2023, and the officer said my visa wasn't valid for entry. Sat in a tiny room at the Guatemala City airport for 6 hours while they checked my papers. I finally got through after a lawyer friend from back home faxed over my old residency card from 2019. Has anyone else had border issues that almost ruined your whole plan?

Yeah that border stuff is no joke. I got stuck in Tijuana once for 8 hours because they said my passport photo looked too old. It totally killed the momentum of my trip.

Easily could have been worse though, that photo rule isn't even the real one.
