I certainly dont know the law but it seems to me that you should both have the same migracion status. The benefits of having an FM3 far outweigh any negatives that I can see. Might as well get the process started so you will be ready when you move down full time.

We are also interested in a response to this question. We need to get an FM3 soon but our next "drive down" trip is not until Jan 2007 which is when we are hoping to bring some "stuff" with us.(until then, our visits will be shorter "fly in's") Can my husband get his FM3 now and I get mine later to allow for the prospect of bringing in some household goods???

That's what we thought...I'd get the FM3 first and Susan later...
She'd bring stuff down...

Now we've changed our plan....we get all new stuff...
Out with the old...in with the new!!!
new washer new furniture new everything

with an FM3 you can transport $400 every trip so you can take a lot of personal stuff...

Nikki our daughter will be HAPPY with the old junk:lol::lol:

This has a few answers


http://www.ajijiclaw.com/Immigration.htm

But you should really talk to someone who really knows what is happening...not people's opinions on a board on the internet. You know what they say about opinions....yes everyone has one!

This I will say. The sooner you get your FM3 the sooner you can become a naturalized citizen....then you dont have to pay fideocomiso, capital gains on your main resident. You actually have some rights in a foreign country.

Dave posted that with each renewal of your FM3 you have 6 months to bring down household goods. Still only a one time deal but you dont have to use that the first time you file.

I Know I've Said This Before, But.............


A dozen (or a hundred) people could post their personal experience with the law regarding acquiring an FM3 or FM2 and all of the experiences could be TRUE, but DIFFERENT. There is a certain freeform to Mexican Law and it's application that makes each experience a unique one. Mexico is a country where absolutes, including written law, don't exist. Buena Suerte.
