Hi,

Ive changed job since taking out my first No Inmigrante Visa (formerly FM3) ...will this make the renewal process much more difficult and what else will I need?


Thanks in advance

My (semi-)informed guess: All the usual documentation plus a letter from your former employer and a letter from your new employer. It shouldn�t be more difficult if the letters are written to the correct specifications. If the employers don�t know what�s required, the immigration office should be able to tell you.

Not a hard switch...start here.

It can be done in one letter, by you though I would bring in a letter from the new employer just to be safe.

I'm not sure how they handle it since the changes that took effect in Novemeber, but prevous to that there were two different processes. First you must change your employer, then you must renew you FM3 for another year. Now that it's not and FM3 who knows. But previously those were two different tramites, each with it's own fee, and they wouldn't do them at the same time. Once the change of employer was processed then you could submit the renewal.

Notification of a change of employers is required. A letter sufficed under the old law, now there is a tramite for it (since November 11, last year).

Until the 11 of November, last year, you had just 30 days from the date of the change of employers in which to present the letter, notifying INM of the change. Under the current law you have 90 days from the date of the change in which to start the tramite.

If the change of employment occurred more than 90 days ago your notice of the change is overdue in either case. If your renewal will be filed within 90 days of the change of employment you can dispense with giving notice, as it will be implicit in your application for renewal, as I see it.

okay I've read everything here. But, I"m still trying to understand. If I have an active fm3 that has not expired. Then I go and get a new job at a different school. Do I have to still worry about going out of the country to register paperwork at a Mexican embassy? Or, according to the new laws can I still do everything within the country of Mexico?

There was a man at a school interested in hiring me. But, he swore I could do whatever I needed to do without leaving Mexico. I didn't know if he was familiar with the new laws or he was unfamiliar with the new process.

I believe that you have to go to your nearest INM office and register a change of employer.
