Anyone delt with the Mexican Consulate in Denver ?
I'm trying to get an FM3. I have all the paperwork ready to submit to Consulate .
To submit the paperwork you need an appointment made online . However , getting to the appointment page requires a CULP number - which I don't have
and can't get until I have the FM3. No answers the phone . It seems many other people have had similar problems / complaints -

I've dealt with the Denver consulate, San Diego too. It's all a zoo. My experience too. Think there is a way to get the CULP number by applying
at their website. That is, you'll get the CULP before going in. It's part of the registration process online. I got one for RP (or is it PR?)
before going in for appt. seriously, hang in there and get use to how MXs do business. Partly luck of the draw and figuring out what they
want? Personally I wouldn't go thru this process again.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

CURP
From our good friend, Rolly Brook, RIP
CURP = Clave Única de Registro de Población, is a unique identity code for both citizens and residents of Mexico. It needed for obtaining most
government services including opening a bank account.
A non-citizen can have a CURP number only with a Residente status. A Visitante cannot get a number. Only the INM can issue CURP numbers to
non-citizens. Usually your CURP with appear on your Residente card. If it doesn't, go to your INM office to get the number.
When an INM office gets a CURP for you, you will not have a CURP ID card. You will need this card or a copy for various government services.

My experience with the Denver office was VERY frustrating...No one answers the phone, when you get an appointment they don't show up..ANY other way is
better...

Generally, you can walk in to the San Diego Consulate between 8am and Noon. Completed and submitted our application (for the old FM-3) with supporting
documents, went back the next morning and picked up our paperwork then went to the Otay INM office and had documents stamped

I may be wrong but I have heard of folks going straight to the Residente Permanente card on the first application. The monetary requirements are a bit
more and so is the fee but over time it saves time and money when moving to the Permanente card from the Temporal one.

unless there are changes again there is no FM3 or FM2 anymore..
it is resident temporal or resident permanente... ... you start the paperwork at a mexican consulate... don't know the cost... that paperwork is good
for 30 days for you to go to the Immigration office in the county you reside in where it is finalized,, usually takes 6 weeks or so and the cost is
around $500 usd then no more going back to immigration office annually again...
other than that it is tourist visa....
somewhat painless.... of course we were into FM3 for 4 years so it trasferred over to the resident permanente.... about the same cost ..
good luck..
