Just want to make this clear that I was applying for a FM3 independiente. The girl told me I need to be a part of a school and show a contract, I tried to indicate that the form given to me indicated I could 'write a letter showing what lucrative' activites I wanted to do. I wrote that letter, in Spanish, but she wouldn't even look at it. She just reiterated for an 'independiente FM3' I had to be married to a Mexican.
Well I'll give it another try and see if I can get through the red tape. I didn't feel at the time arguing would get me anywhere (she had a very, very determined look on her face.) |

Definitely not true, as Mo39 and I can confirm. I am married to a Mexican, but that was irrelevant in the application. Maybe what you do need is your cedula from Hacienda, for which you need to apply for permission from Migra first, but that is because Hacienda won't give you the cedula without that permission in your FM3. I honestly don't think Migra is concerned about whether you pay your taxes or not. << No es mi chamba>> |

If you try this again on your own, you need to get into line when this uninformed and unpleasant person is not on duty. She obviously doesn't know all the rules and regs for applying for an FM3, independiente or otherwise.
It's like when I opened an account a couple of weeks ago at Santander, and the young woman "helping" me forgot to tell me that I'd need a certain number from SHCP before my debit card could be approved. It was only yesterday when I went to pick up my card that I found this out. Luckily the woman I spoke to the second time knew her job, and straightened things out for me.
Just to emphasize how incompetent people who sit behind desks and counters can be, the first person I spoke to at Santander also told me that I needed an FM2 (not an FM3) to open an account, and only when I insisted (nicely but firmly in Spanish) that this was not the case did she call up a superior to find out that I was was right after all! |
