An intermediary is basically mandatory here, and the cost is 5,000 pesos all told, and you're STILL not sure it will go smoothly. Mine is up in a couple of days, I'm biting my nails.

Would you mind if I added you to my Mazatlan bloggers list?

Take care!

I did change the name from what you saw. It just didn't want to fit well enough. I also learn something about myself. I can't get excited about the graphic art, photo shop world. I think it's cuz I need the other senses involved. Need to get the paint, glue, & chalk on my fingers. Feel the material and physically do the stitching :c} Come on by for a visit. Each post looks a bit better so there could be hope yet!! :c} Pattie Hi Nancy,

I went by Migración before we left Mérida but, as usual, I hit the times wrong and they were closed. I used an attorney last time because he was already working on our fideicomiso and it was a bargain, I want to give it a try on my own this time.

I am shocked that you had to come to Mexico to do your visa, and two weeks, wow. For people working up north I can imagine that would be a challenge. I hope you were able to enjoy a vacation during your school break while you did the visa work. CancunCanuck, It really is strange how the experience is so different at each location. We attributed Mazatlan's attitude to being a town not totally dominated by tourism. But who knows? We haven't had any run-ins with cranky/difficult transactions anywhere we've gone to do business here. Islagringo, I am very interested in your switch to the FM2, we were just talking about it. Please let us know how it goes, and of course, good luck! eng+, thanks for coming by! I am shocked that you had to come to Mexico to do your visa, and two weeks, wow.

I just read CC's comment about Cancun. We dropped off our papers last Tuesday to switch from an FM3 this year to an FM2. Although the office was crowded to capacity, it took less than 20 minutes to get all the papers stamped. We return on Sept 19 to see if they were approved and possible have a personal interview.

We've heard that this is the worst office to get things done, they are not efficient by any means, nor are they very polite. They are turning people down left, right and center and denying renewals. Seems you pay less too, my renewal was almost 2000 pesos! Because of all the problems I've always had (and many of my friends), I used a lawyer this year (an extra 3000 pesos but well worth it in my opinion) to avoid the whole mess. Last year it took me 20 visits to the office and over a month to get the renewal done. Felicidades, glad to hear it went smoothly for you! Wow, it’s never that easy in Cancun.

I am Mexican, and I go to school in the US. I wish I could say the same thing about the visa renewal process. First, you can't do it in the US, so I had to travel to Mexico and the process takes about two weeks, between the first appointment and the issuing of the visa. I can't say they weren't friendly or helpful, but the process is unnecessary in general (my wait was of a couple of hours, my interview, a couple of minutes. Glad to hear Inmigración in Mexico is doing better! great blog and post! I am Mexican, and I go to school in the US. I wish I could say the same thing about the visa renewal process.
