We are getting our permanent residency cards. It's been several months now. Anyone else having issues getting this final card? Every other year has
gone smoothly, but this final year. Serafin (accountant) asked for bank statements, but we said why do you need to translate numbers?

With a corporation they want to ask for monthly income to compare to other information about you to see if you are properly declaring income earned
while in Baja. They will proceed to question the income later on and compare to facturas, cc records etc. They are going to find more tax income from
rich people, so the request for income statements is just the first step in the process. Generally, there are various methods to qualify to RP status,
one method is by income. Corp has little to do with you qualifying. You could also qualify without income if you were in the 4 year stage of FM2 or
FM3.
Translation is standard on any document though of course it really shouldn't aplly to bank statements which are all numbers. Be careful.

Questions to Nomads. A friend tells me that if I obtain Immigrante Status, that I cannot have my US registered vehicles to include the boat. That my
US Income could also become liable for Mexican Income Tax. So are all who obtain Immigrante Status importing their vehicles? Also why would anyone
recommend the immigration office in Santa Rosalia? I guess if you like paying the mordida, it is the place to go. I mistakenly allowed my FM3 to
lapse by about 20 days and it cost me more than 7000 pesos and they claimed because of a computer problem that I had to pay them, not thru the bank.
Are you taxed on your US Income?

Best to refresh info for NOW not last month or day before yesterday. As I griped before...
THINGS ARE CHANGING
And they are changing FAST
In one @#$%^&! breath Hacienda said there will be NO NEW TAXES for the next 3 years, then they slap incredibly draconian fees onto legally
importing a brand new motor vehicle into Mexico (doesn't sound serious until a person learns the new law just about bans importation of modified
vehicles for disabled drivers).
IMHO do not screw around. Do not take ANYONE'S word-for-it. Call INM and ask them for guidance. A Mexican friend can do this if your Spanish is not up
to par. ABOGADOS have this teeny flaw in which they spout a bunch of BS and then come back and say. "Oh lo siento mucho but the law has changed. So
has my fee". In rural México it's referred to as "Milking The Cow".
I pasted my "moniker" on the left side of the forum for a reason. It's so true it makes my side hurt.

It took us a while. We applied at the end of 2012 and I think we got the cards in May or June

We applied last year in the Rosarito office and were required to show the 6 months of translated bank statements. I had a long conversation with the
new office mgr but she wouldn't give in.
What a waste of money.

We'll compare notes, Dave.
Even our Mexican attorney called me from La Paz to ask how we got things accomplished so smoothly.
I was going to tell you how e got things accomplished in an e-mail, but I don't have your e-mail address.

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

Well, Les just called to say he passed his Spanish conversation test and he is now 4 months away from becoming a true Mexicano! We will be having a
party then!
I am not sure why the process of getting the permanent resident card was so easy for him, but it was.
I cant imagine immigration would turn away bank statements that were not translated, I personally would just print them up and hand them in. And if
called on it, I would write in the margins.
Yup, that is what I would do. Actually, what I did in the US when immigration asked for my kids Brazilian birth certificates etc to be translated: I
did it myself and attached it to a copy of the original. A certified translator when I speak both languages. Nah.
I do wish all of you the best of luck. Do not let your papers expire, in the States you would be DEPORTED and it would not be pretty. I think
Mexico is pretty lenient in letting us simple pay a fine???
