| Phil_K can you please clarify - was this amount exclusively for the fine or did it include the fee for your new FM2 as well? Would there have been any difference in cost/the fine if you had stayed with an FM3 |
Just the fine!!! I think it would be the same for FM3 as the fine was for not informing immigration of a change of job, not as MELEE seems to think, "letting my FM3 expire"
MELEE...I hope you are not as superior as your tone sounds...please read the post carefully...Do you want me to be deported and my life and that of my wife ruined?
The error was as stated above. My FM3 was current and always has been. As I changed job just after the last renewal, I though that as long as the FM3 was updated before applying for the FM2, there would be no problem. Sorry for my ignorance!!  |

I don't want anyone to have to go through deportation. But my homecountry, the US of A, deports people in your situation every single day. They deport people married to citizens, people who are parents of citzens, the think nothing of tearing families apart. I certainly don't think that's a good thing, I just stated that you are lucky that Mexico doesn't take such a hard stance. In this situation, they could have easily decided to deport you. It says right on page two of the FM3

Maybe it wasn't your intention to break the law, but it's your responsiblity to know the terms and conditions of your migratory status in this country, and you have it right there in your hands.
If I was being hard on anyone in my post it was ch, not you. I agree with LS, you lucked out do the the good naturedness of the country, walking out of the office, as ch suggested would have been completely out of line. |

Actually, Mexico deports a lot of people, most of them just aren't gringos or other "rich" foreigners. Mexico deported over 200,000 Latin Americans last year. And unlike the US, many of them are routinely beaten, robbed, raped and murdered by Mexican police, and immigration officers. Ask any Central American migrant and they'll tell you, they would rather be caught by the US Border Patrol than the Mexican la mirga anyday.
"The number of undocumented immigrants detained in Mexico rose from 138,061 in 2002 to 240,269 in 2005. Forty-two percent were Guatemalan, 33 percent Honduran and most of the rest Salvadoran."
If anybody wants proof read these:

There are always 2 sides to a coin, but Mexico only wants to see one side. |

MELEE - Apology accepted (although there wasn't one that I detected!)

That still sounds like preaching to me. I broke the law, I have $5000, I will pay $5000 and I'm not complaining. |

Chris, what exactly are you trying to say in your last post? I don't even want to try to guess.
Immigration routinely fines foreigners for lapsing their FM3's and other such infractions. That's the process. If they catch you working before your FM3 is approved and in your hand you can get whacked and so can the employer. Even if you are on the job "training". It happens. You just have to know the law here. Complaining is a gringo thing and gets you nowhere in Mexico. They just look at you funny and block you out (blah blah blah), probably thinking about the next episode of the soap opera they are hooked on. |
