We're planning an October-to-April base up around San Felipe, our first long trip down. Close to six months a year puts us past the tourist card
window, so the temporary resident route looks like the right fit. Anyone here done that consular process lately? Curious how long the wait ran from
appointment to card, and whether anything in the document list caught you off guard.

I wouldn't worry about passing the six months window. No one will check your tourist card in San Felipe and Mexico will not know when you leave.

Would just use the tourist visa. 6 moths and no big government interaction

San felipe is close to the border. Just go north for a day and get another fmm after the first expires.

if you are looking at the temp/perm residency, I would suggest
Carmen Nunez attorney at law.
her office is at 158 Malecon St downtown SF

Everything was done in SF. Very easy and smooth.
but like reported above, if six months is all the time, FFM easiest and by far cheaper.
