If I were you I would ask a Mexican immigration official. Maybe in Guerrero Negro, for sure there is an office in Santa Rosalia. There may be a
special procedure for her since you are a citizen. Normally the process starts at a Mexican Consulate in the US but maybe not for her since she is
immediate family of a citizen.
A consultation with a Mexican immigration attorney would be worth it.

there are agents who do this service. we used one in CSL. super easy. and not expensive. they know the players and make it happen. one look at an
immigration office waiting room and the bored gringos make their reasonable fees a no-brainer.

Around 5+? Years ago I used Eddie Beauline, an attorney out of La Paz. He is fluent in English. He took charge of the whole process and we were very
pleased with his results. Very professional.
It wasn’t that much money for his services and he even traveled to Loreto to do his magic with immigration.

The INM agents as well as expediters in Mexico are unfamiliar with the process to begin, because, in general, to change status, foreigners must begin
in their home Mexican consulate. In general an expeditor is of no help, and will charge money for actions that must be completed by the individual
anyway, there is nothing an expeditor can do to expedite or help other than hold your hand while you take the steps required.
Blanca's Mom may be in a different situation since she is related to citizens and may be able to begin within Country.

I just emailed my attorney in La Paz and asked him the same questions. Our scenarios are similar, in that my daughters are Mexicanas, but I am only
applying for the temp residence.
I will post the results when I hear back from him.

mexicopaperworks.com. the first step takes place in the Mexican consulate in the states assuming you are from the US...the second phase happens in
Mexico.

Hola Blanca!
The easy way out is to use Lic. Hurtado out of Ensenada. My sister used him a few years ago and the process was time consuming but can be
accomplished in less than a year through him.
Here is what I went through 8 years ago and nothing has changed since:
The first step is to start at the Mexican consulate where your mom lives. Make an appointment for the starting process. She will need two passport
photos and start the application process there. There is a considerable amount of paperwork involved. There is a minimum income required, which
recently has been raised. I believe now there is a minimum income of around $2,800. It used to be $2,200 USD. Counted in that incme can be interest
from savings and investments. Additionally, there was a minimum amount required in a savings or IRA of $50,000 USD.The consulate is going to need to
see original documentation of the funding involved.
Once all the above has been completed, the Mexican consulate will give her a 2"X3" conditional aproval sticker on her current US passport.
Once the sticker is applied, she has 30 days to complete the process within Mexico's borders.
In my instance, we applied at the Guerrero Negro immigration office with an appointment, because they are not always at the office. It is located
exactly where they spray booth is at the North/South 28th parallel.
However, before going to the office, she will need a free 30 day "CANJE" tourist visa which will be turned in at the immigration office.
BUT...before starting the paperwork at the INM in Guerrero Negro, she will need two additional things: 2 sets of photos. One in passport size. and the
second one in "INFANTIL" size. They need to be turned in at the time she fills out the paperwork. ALSO, needed is a short letter from her in Spanish
(this needs to be some sort of narrative about you living in Baja and she wants to keep the family intact and therefore she wants to move there, or
something to that effect).
Once the paperwork at immingration is completed (INM will forward everything to DF in Mexico city), there will a a 4-8 week waiting period while the
INM in DF handles everything. They will then mail the card to the GN INM office. The office will call you to let you know that the card is in and she
needs to sign it.
One more bit of hassle to throw in. Once she receives the sticker on her passport, she has 30 days (no grace period) to complete the process in GN
INM.
Additionally, she can not fly or drive out of the country until she receives the PR card. If cought going out of the country during that period, the
application is null and void!
I have written this three times on Facebook, and I am only writing this again because it is you, Blanca. On FB I normally tell people to search in the
FB page files. It is very time consuming to put this together.
I am glad your mom is coming here. I know my mom would have done it also once my sister came down, but she passed away before my sister moved here.
Contact me on FB if you have any further questions.

Udo, you are entirely wrong. You have outlined the procedure for someone who is applying for residency who doesn't have a close family member who is a
Mexican citizen. The OP is a Mexican citizen- she can sponsor her mother, and that's done from inside Mexico. Those financial requirements aren't
necessary.
I don't know all the ins and outs of it, but the process you describe doesn't apply in the OP's situation.

I was not aware that Les and Blanca are Mexican citizens. Of course I am wrong.

I guess I will have to settle for just "master of my own domain".....me and George Costanza!

Blanca, Odd that you are a "teacher" in Mexico who is apparently fluent in Spanish but can't or won't go to the INM site and read the well documented
process for step by step that applies to your Mother and/or contact INM in DF and ask?
https://www.gob.mx/tramites/ficha/cambio-a-residente-permane...
This is a consistent example of your requests asking for help $$$ versus teaching your students to do the work, go out and do things for themselves?
Seems like this is an opportunity for you to learn, document and share with others how to use the internet to search, read, research and learn and
document the process. No lawyer is needed, nor asking, when everything is clearly documented and INM provides access to ask questions both in English
and Spanish?
It is incumbent on you to learn to use resources and share that with others.

I always prefer to ask here. It seems that laws change all the time and i wanted to know the nitty gritty, from the horse's mouth. I have been
extremely busy with Mom and family issues.
Udo, thanks so much for posting all the info!
gnukid, my kids' job is to get straight A's in high school and the highest grade possible in college. To get an internship and get a job at a great
company. To become 100% independent.
My choice to do it this way. Your choice to support me or not but please do not rain on my parade!
del mar, how much do I owe you? LOL Just kidding! but I will happily make you a delicious cup of coffee if you visit us!

Well, she stated that she was a Mexican citizen in one of her posts on her thread here. So not being aware was a failure to read what was written
before posting.
But the lengthy post you wrote on the process for someone who doesn't have Mexican family would be good info for most people who wanted to apply for
residency, just not applicable in this case. |

The INM website is actually the nitty gritty and the "horse's mouth",as far as the current laws, Blanca, not answers from posters on a internet
forum.
And it wouldn't really take any longer to go to the INM website and read the applicable laws and procedures for getting your mom her PR, than it does
to post on the forum. Although I can relate to that seeming easier and less time consuming just because it's something you are used to.
