I wanted to let everyone know, I received my FM3. It was not as difficult as I anticipated. The whole process took a total of 5 days, including time of postage. I mailed the application on Monday. They call me for the interview on Wednesday. And I picked it up on Friday. I do not know if this is the norm, or maybe North Carolina is an unusual state. Never the less, I have my FM3 in hand. I want to thank everyone that helped me through the process, but most of all I want to thank this Site; it holds a wealth of information and even more, the best people on the internet. Next stop; Mexico City February 13  |

Congratulations, on being one step closer to your goal!
I noticed in your other thread, where you were inquiring whether it was possible to apply abroad and obtain an FM3 with permission to work, there was a split of opinion, so your experience may prove useful to others.
With that in mind, what did you state was the purpose of your going to Mexico to live; and, what were you required to submit in support of your application, if I may ask, Silence820? Finally, if the FM3 states the purpose of your visit, what is the wording it contains?
_____________________
In case you haven't been made aware up to this point, there is an additional requirement, which I'll mention now, of registering your FM3 with immigration, after you reach your destination, in Mexico. It loses it's validity, in effect, if it's not registered in a timely fashion- so I've read.

| All FM3s and FM2s are good for one year. You will have to go to an immigration office about a month before it expires to renew it. At the moment, just over $2000 MXN. |

Sadly, in addition to registering your FM3 when you arrive, this will also mean you'll have to go through the process and incur the official fees associated with a change to FM3, with permission to work.
[It will be interesting to see what happens if we ever have a case reported on this forum of someone getting a job offer, in writing, with all the formalities, who then attempts to apply for an FM3 abroad, seeking permission to work at the job offered. (I know of no reason why it couldn't be done, but I haven't heard of a case in which it was done)].
___________________
If you haven't already done so, get all your degrees and teaching certificates apostilled before coming down: it's a lot easier to do before you leave than afterward; but, don't bother to have them translated. It's easier and cheaper to get them translated in Mexico, and INM may require that you use an official translator, recognized by the Mexican Government, as such, also easier to find here!
Good luck with the job hunt! |
