Al Berca Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Once you begin the process you are expected to remain in Mexico until you receive your permanente unless you have an emergency, in which case, you must apply and pay for an emergency letter allowing you to leave Mexico for a specific time period without affecting your application in process.

virgogirl Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Once you have the actual card, no problem. You should plan ahead if you know you need the letter. it generally takes three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Dog Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Is there any reliable information on how long it takes to get the Temporal or Permanent Visa after starting the process after arriving in Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgogirl Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Not really. It depends whether you are using a lawyer, doing it yourself and other factors. Just my experience and opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Assuming you received your approval at a consulate 2 to 3 weeks would be the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just done it. The wait time is more like 6 to 8 weeks, and I used a lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it takes less time, because they make sure all the documents are in order and are on very friendly terms with the officials at IMN. When I went for my fingerprints last week I went straight to the front of the line.. You can do it yourself but it's much less hassle to pay a lawyer to do it for you..

Lori55987 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Once you receive your permanent residency, you may travel back and forth. However, you must have Mexican plates on your vehicle, or it can be impounded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Language is not what makes it a hassle, most of the people speak very good English at IMN. The hassle comes from finding a parking space, waiting in line, getting the paperwork, going home filling it out, going back finding a parking space, waiting in line again, handing in the paperwork hoping you have done it correctly, going to the bank, coming back with the receipt, waiting in line again.. Waiting and wondering how the process was going and hoping you don't miss the notice about showing up for to get your fingerprints taken. That was the story told to me by a friend. I used Verionca who is at LCS Mondays and Tuesday's, Doing the paperwork in her office took 30mins, met her at IMN for finger prints, because she had signed in for me I was in and out in 15mins, not even enough time for the car washer outside to finish my washing my car.. For me it was money well spent as I have better things to do with my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready Or Not Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Okay so who is Veronica and what services does she provide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Veronica has an office at LCS on Mondays and Tuesday's. For a fee she will handle all the paperwork for temporary, permenant cards, plus severall others things such as IMMS and SP. As SOMEONE commented it's not a hassle to do it yourself. But Veronica makes it very easy, she does all the paperwork, you only have to show up to get your fingerprints taken, then two weeks later to pick up your card. I realize SOME PEOPLE are on a budget and can't afford to use a facilitator such as Veronica, but in my case it was money well spent. if anyone chooses to go that route I highly recommend Veronica.

Rarely would the lawyer go to immigration he same day you visit their office. Rarely will a lawyer set your pick up apt with imigration the day the papers are ready. Lawyers schedule the visits for their convenience. Lawyers do make errors on paperwork sometimes. I have never waited more than 10 minutes at immigration. If someone wants pay a lawyer to save a few minutes in line fine, but it won't change the number of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
