willtravel Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I did a search but found no up to date answers. Permanente application to fingerprinting, how long did it take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Sanchez Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Three weeks, if I recall correctly. We did it entirely ourselves and it was painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willtravel Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 We started the process 3 weeks ago and were told that we would get an email within 2 weeks to go in for our fingerprint but if not, check with the office. We did not get an email after 2 weeks so we went in and check. We were told that within another week we would get a notice, This is the third week and still nothing. I have to remember that things here do go so very slowly and exercise patience☺️ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 It usually takes from 3 weeks to forever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 There is no way to accurately predict how long the process will take. Ours, many years ago, took seven weeks, and it was all done in Guadalajara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy for you to say with your Permanente status sitting in your penthouse suite above the Bahia de Banderas sipping a marg. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Ok, let's cut to the truth, hahaha.................... The penthouse is 4 floors above us....we are in steerage in this 12 unit building. We do have a spectacular view of the Bay. I don't do margs. Life is good so I'm not complaining. When someone says they will "be here Friday" I don't ask "Which Friday" anymore because I realize they don't know themselves so how could they tell me. I hope you are enjoying your view of the Rockies and if you do partake in margs, "Salud". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsfv89 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 what if you have something in your past and they already gave you temporary residency. what will happen when you switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 redsfv89 - Cripes man you don't want to go to jail, particularly not a mexican jail. And you are asking us to become a party to the 'something in your past' by commenting. You seriously want an answer to that, sounds like you are admitting you LIED on your application to immigration? Maybe you should research how many people with shady pasts have been caught in Mexico and sent back to the country where the 'crime' was committed.

johanson Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Some twenty years ago in order to get an FM-3, I had to go to my state capital and get a letter or statement showing that I did not have an arrest record. It was a pain you know where to drive to the State capital to get it, but it was no big deal. I hope that I misunderstood the posters question. I hope that all goes well.

michael2595 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 From the minute we arrived the process took about 4 weeks. We did use an attorney. The immigration office in Chapala was great to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permanente application to fingerprinting, how long did it take you? Five weeks and one day later we got our notice to go and get our fingerprint done. Went to Chpala and did it. Was told that we need to physically (no email notice will be sent) go into the office in two weeks to pick up out permanente card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumby Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Just went through the process, used Spencer and highly recommend his services, from the time I applied to getting fingerprinted was one day short of three weeks and from finger prints to receiving card was 12 days. keep in mind that once the fingerprints are taken until you get the card travel out of Mexico is not possible.

elisabeth Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just finished the process. About 5 weeks to fingerprinting, then less than 2 to get the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine1 Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 We did the permanente on our own and from start to finish in early October it was 3 weeks. The women who work in the INM office speak English well and are very helpful. No need to hire someone to help you. Once we were fingerprinted , it was a week until we got the card.
