(1) My husband has had his Permanente for about 2 years.
(2) I come into Mexico on a Visitors' Visa and now wish to apply for my Permanente. I had understood that I could make the application from the Mexican Consulate in Toronto, and when I receive the paperwork bring it back to Ajijic and submit the application within 30 days.
(3) I have subsequently read that I must have a Temporale for 2 years before applying for a Permanente, because my husband already has his Permanente.
Can somebody please clarify this for me or know if there's any way around this to shorten the process. Otherwise it sounds as if I won't be able to get it for 3 years and I'm concerned in the event we need to sell our home, which is in both our names.
Any accurate help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
