Permanent Residency Requirement
I was just informed by a friend that lives in Baja (most of the time) that our accountant has just informed him that we must provide 6 months of bank
statements and $300 each to have them translated in order to process our applications for permanent residency.
This sounds like BS to me because we both have Mexican corporations and have never been required to provide this before.
Please let me know if you have experienced this as well or have heard of this requirement. This is being processed in Ensenada.
Thanks!
Linda

We had to submit 6 months of bank statements, but no translation was required. Why would something that is pretty much all numbers need to be
translated?

No corporation here. Don't you use a Mexican bank account for your Mexican corporation?

We did ours late last year and they required bank statements, however, before we submitted everything, they changed it and we did not need financial
info.

We have been asked for the most ridiculous things to get permanent resident status in La Paz. According to our facilitator there is a new sheriff in
town and things are going to be different from now on. It doesn't look like we will be able to get it, you won't believe it when I tell "the rest of
the story". We are in the final chapter of this frustrating balogna now, I'll post the full detains as soon as we finish this tap dance.....dt

I suggest everyone move to Bahia Asuncion or La Bocana and use the Santa Rosalia office. Stay with Shari or us and use our addresses til you get the
paperwork done.
Seriously..

La Paz-- We provided the 6 months of bank statements, waited about a month, got our finger prints taken, waited another two weeks and went in a picked
up the RP. No problems, This was in June- July, and no translation required. Couldn't have been more smooth.

When we changed INM locations, we had to submit a letter of intent to change first a month in advance.
We only submitted 6 months of bank statements and no translation - in LaPaz.

I thought the people in Asuncion had to go to G.N. The line is somewhere between the two towns....... Shari ?

Thanks to everyone who has responded thus far... Jerry thinks we're getting ripped off on the translation fee.... I sadly agree!

agree on rip off translation fee...that's not INM asking for the fee is it? if so, get a lawyer or facilitator and have him/her handle it. if not,
get another facilitator and/or DIY. it's pretty simple. depending on where you live. and what your 'basis' for asking for PR is.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

If you want to have a great time at INM, use Google Translate for your documents

we have a corporation and all we had to provide was the corporation papers and proof that we are paid up on taxes.
Do Asuncionences go to G Negro? That would be the first time I heard that.
I am not sure why they are running away, Dennis. The first year was difficult until I made it clear that we wanted them to handle the paperwork
(copies,letters blablabla). Either you pay a facilitator or you pay Enrique. I preferred not to get the run around and just pay up.
Nowadays, it could not be easier. I call, ask what we need and then an hour after we arrive, submit papers, pay at bank, eat lunch, we are out of
there for another year. Well, sometimes Enrique brings the final approval to us (at a cost) or Les returns to pick it up.

Enrique has set himself up as the in-office facilitator by default-- we're not getting anything done unless we play by the rules, and he makes up the
rules. Ok, that's the way it is. I understand this. I just wish he'd smile once in awhile.
and no, he doesn't charge an exorbitant fee like $300USD.
Last year it was $XXXPesos per person and I did all the paperwork.

Cancel request- rcvd info via u2u info. Didn't mean to hijack.
Thanks Mulagena for helping me understand the process. (I'm still a few years away from retirement, and I realize this could change.)
