Hola to All: Does anyone have any information on the new Immigration Law passed last month. From what I have read, FM2's and FM3's are out.
Thanks Brian

Nothing was said to us when we started our renewal on May 27th @ the CSL INM office. We were told it would take three weeks...still do not have our
renewal cards.
We are going to the INM office on Tuesday to find out what is the problem. Hope our files haven't gotten lost in the process! Last entry on the INM
website was 30/05/2011.

Our renewals are in there too. With the changes, we will probably need new pictures....taken standing on our heads.

I was planning on starting the FM2 process in three weeks. Now it looks like I will be waiting a few months to start the new process.

Permanent residency can also be granted to concubines after 2 years of Mexican bliss (as a part of the 2 years of Temporary Residency).
Article 55, Item III
I'd better get down there early to start working on this.

Good luck tone.... with your efforts

OOps! I read it wrong. I thought if I found a concubine who offered "2 years of Mexican Bliss", I could achieve permanent residency status. Guess not,
huh?

Does the card say FM2 or Imigrante?

FM2 card
Inmigrante, FM2 does no appear on the card. FM2 is still the designation on some forms.

Just picked up my new FM-2 this morning. I couldn't detect any change in the system from my experience from a year ago, when the big news was the new
ID card replacing the little booklets and I no longer had to provide them with a copy of my bank statements.
What I had to provide this year:
1) The Internet-generated form that you go online to INM's website to fill out and print.
2) A short letter saying that, "bajo protesta de decir la verdad," I certified that nothing had changed in my status under which the original FM-2 was
issued.
3) Three front and two profile photos, "tamaņo infantil" (infant size), white background and in color.
4) A form that they gave me at the office on my first visit on Monday to fill out and return.
5) The statement-of-payment that the bank provides when you give them your 2,801 pesos (ALWAYS make a copy of this form for your files, once they
temporarily lost my original at the INM office and I hadn't).
I also had to turn in my old ID as well as provide them with my passport so they could check the accuracy of the info I provided.
Oh, yeah, and this year at the La Paz office, we actually had to take a number while waiting. The machine has always been there, but I'd never seen it
in use before.
Good luck.

I am starting the process in a couple of weeks, sounds like it is status quo. At least until the Federal Government gives the local offices some
direction.

Just picked up my new FM-2 card yesterday in La Paz. My experience was exactly the same as Bajatripper's description above. The new computerized
system appears to be going very smoothly. I also did not have to provide a "comprobante de domicilio" - just state your address in your letter and
declare that it's true ("baja protesta de decir la verdad"). The whole process took about 10 days from the time I turned in the proof of payment
statement from the bank.
The one hassle with the new system is that since you get a new laminated card every year, you need to provide photos for the new card. I happened to
have extras from last year and used those with no problem.
