Always best to use might/may have to rather than must/need to here in Mexico. I am living example that the (professional) translations of my documents done in Canada sufficed - and although they are more than 6 years old, I'm still using the same set of documents each year at renewal - two different Mexican states/INM offices.
Best to be prepared for any situation.

I agree, DL, that my choice of modals was not the best. You were fortunate to have your Canadian translations accepted here, but one shouldn't count on that being true for everyone in all situations and at all INM offices! I would still suggest that rayzero wait till she gets to Mexico to have any needed translations done. No doubt they'll be less expensive here, and it's better to know that they'll accepted anywhere in Mexico as may not the case with translations done out of the country. That way she will be prepared for all eventualities.
Cheers,

Yes, I was. No, one shouldn't. Yes, she should. Yes, they likely will be (good point). Yes, it is. Yes, she certainly will be.

|
|
| OP, owing to your work, you are probably aware of this detail which affects those who hold permanent residence status, but live outside the U.S., and have already decided how you will deal with it, so I'll mention it solely for the benefit of the other readers: if you are a U.S. permanent resident and you go abroad for more than 180 days, you can be denied reentry permission at the border, and lose your permanent residency status. Further, immigration is entitled to question the status, and has the authority to revoke it, if you spend the bulk of your time abroad, even if you dutifully return to the U.S. every 179 days, unless there have been changes to the law which I've missed hearing about. |

[/quote]Oaxaca City is a hard market to crack for the TEFL teacher. But since you have some other income, you shouldn't have any problem finding part time work at one or more schools in the city.[/quote]
MotherF,
Do you have any tips for cracking the market in Oaxaca City? I have an MA in TESOL and one year of ESL teaching experience here in the US. Do you have any suggestions? Also, do you recommend e-mailing schools before arriving in the city? |

Do you have your heart set on Oaxaca City? With an MA in TESOL you would do better in one of Oaxaca's regional universities. But you can always try UABJO and URSE in Oaxaca City. Yes, try contacting them by email before arriving. |

| Great, thanks for the info., MotherF! No, my heart is not set on Oaxaca City. I'm fine with living in a smaller town. I've been applying to universities in the SUNEO system online. I'll look into URSE. Thanks again! By the way, do you work at one of the SUNEO universities, by any chance? |

For what it's worth - URSE and URSE were a bit of a mess as of a year ago. Very disorganized. URSE had actually reduced its staff not long ago. Avoid Cambridge school in Oaxaca. |
