mudgirl Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Very clear and informative video, aside from his advice to just pop into a SAT office. You can't get an appointment these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no timeline. The SAT offices don't open their appointment booking calendars 6 months to a year ahead, only 2 weeks ahead, at least in my area office, so there is no way to book way ahead, and therefore no way to assess when one might be able to attend their offices. "I heard" among ex-pats means nothing, it's usually baseless chatter, totally confused, or outright incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 So I follow carefully the instructions that are very good until the part where I have to read the sentence without glasses?? What s the F..? Why do they think I have glasses for if it is not to read?? So .. without the glasses , I cannot read the sentence, I am that blind.. so the next step is??? Interesting how the nerds making up these programs are not particularly practical... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ man Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Can they tell that you're not using glasses? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this supposed to be an online iris scan? That's what it sounds like to me. That's why they want the glasses off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 yes but it is irrelevant I cannot read without glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you supposed to read it out loud with your microphone turned on? If not, just move your eyes across the page as if you were reading. It doesn't matter if you can actually see it, if they are just trying to get a scan of your iris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrall Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 You'd need a device like this for a biometric iris or retina scan normally placed just a few inches from your eye. A laptop or iPad camera shot taken 2 or more feet away probably won't even reveal your eye color. The whole exercise seems a bit silly since there's no control or continuity with the video and audio process. Anyone with a newer iPhone knows the gyrations needed to set up facial rec. I too recorded the video with reading glasses not being able to read the sentence without them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 another hurdle is the non robot proof, how do you distinguish the caps from the non caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrall Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 All CAPCHA letters are in caps for this site. Some are just bigger than others. At times impossible to read and some screens don't have an option to get another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need stronger glasses? 🙂 Sorry, couldn't resist. Yes, sometimes those "not a robot" letters are hard to make out. But most capital letters are obviously different from small letters. I haven't checked out this particular page, but I've had to sign in to SAT a hundred times- if you get it wrong, they just give you a fresh page with a new combination of letters and/or numbers, which hopefully will be easier to distinguish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do you need to be told that? I have had an RFC nuumber for 16 years- I run a business and pay taxes. There is nothing for me to "get"- I don't use facilitators, I know how this stuff works. Before I had an RFC, yes my bank assigned a generic number that looks nothing like an a real RFC- it doesn't have your initials or birthdate. When I got an RFC, I gave it to my bank and they changed the generic one to my real one. I have had an RFC number for 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shrall Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 FWIW, I went through the video and sentence with glasses a couple of days ago attempting to change the password. I received a text today the request was approved. I was allowed to change the password but I still get the same error as before when trying to log in. Invalid RFC or password. The password is good so they must be objecting to the RFC although the associated information is accessible via the QR code. My next guess is that the account is invalid because whoever at SAT created it 10 years ago neglected to input the CURP. What I get from the QR code will have to suffice for a constancia if one is ever needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
