Residencia Permanente card?
Has anyone in the Loreto area actually received their residencia permanente? Lots of people are waiting after being fingerprinted with lots of
promises but proof is in the pudidng!
Has anyone actually received their card in any other areas?

My wife received a call yesterday, telling her she can pick hers up in Hermosillo. We'll be going in tomorrow. I'll let everyone know how it goes. It
has been almost exactly two months since she applied for it.

I'm in San Felipe and I am told that there are two steps
1. We have to come in and get my photo's done and sign the paperwork
2. Those documents and photos are sent to TJ and then off to D.F. for the permanent card.
My original documents were sent in Jan 3 and I am told it will be at the end of Feb or first part of March before we are "listo"

Picked up my temporary resident card today. Mine has the correct two year expiration but there are NUMEROUS cases of persons who applied for a four or
three year one out of the Guaymas office and their expiration date has shorted them a year. No means of fixing it, according to the INM agents.
Certainly it is their fault as I suspect it resulted from the misleading Prorroga numbers on the back of the old FM3s.
BTW, I repeatedly heard an INM officer in the Guaymas office refer to the "Permanente" card as being a TEN YEAR CARD, not the "infinity" card that was
originally talked about. Is anyone really surprised at that?

I have the inmigrado status stamped in my old green FM2 book. So, you're telling me that this should suffice if ever get asked for my status?
Definitely do not want to bring unnecessary attention to myself. Could
be costly.

Inmigrado is no longer an official classification, according to the INM agents we have dealt with. It is Residente Permanente.

No surprise at all. Problem is that it may be close to it's first expiration before we first see it.

Wife has hers in her possession. There is no expiration date on it. When I asked the agent in HMO about it, he stated that it does not expire; it is
permanent until you relinquish it.
That's today's answer.............
It is virtually identical to the temporal cards except for the word "permanente" instead of temporal and the lack of an expiration date. It even comes
adhered to a cover letter that is EXACTLY the same for both types of cards.

There are others on the Mazatlan board that have received them. But there are still lots of people over here that are waiting, even ones that used an
agent.

Howard, I received my Residente Permanente today in Loreto after 3 1/2 weeks with the paperwork in Mexico City. Here is the timeline for getting them
(my wife and I).
I applied in the Denver Mexican Consulate before moving down here full time the first day the new regulations went into effect. Crossed at Tecate and
obtained a free FMM for the documentation of entry into Mexico 19 December. Checked in at the Loreto INM office the first day after the Xmas shutdown
03 January and submitted all the additional paperwork they requested. The paperwork was sent to La Paz and returned 3 weeks later and we did the
fingerprint thing and then it was off to Mexico City with the paperwork. It took 3 1/2 weeks there before the it was returned to Loreto INM office.
If anyone else in Loreto is waiting for theirs to arrive I would check because there was a stack of letters from Mexico City waiting to be signed for.
The entire process took over 3 months but in all fairness the 50 days between 11/13 and 1/3 was on me waiting to move and the timing of the Xmas
shutdown. We are pretty happy with the outcome and length of time it took considering we did not have any current immigration documents and started
from scratch. The green color card has a CURP number and no expiration date and no restrictions upon entering and exiting Mexico. The effective date
of the card is 19 December, the day we entered Mexico for our move. Good luck to everyone else waiting for their cards, the system is moving along,
only at manana speed.

Yes it moving along at 'snail's pace'. I just checked this morning on our status and it actuall said on the immigration website that we have to come
in to the office. I hope it's for finger-printing. Since it took so long, I am not in a hurry. Will go to LAP next week probably.

If you get your Residente Permanente status, can you still drive your US plated and registered vehicle in Baja (assuming you have one)?
