RVGRINGO Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 INM will not call you. Watch your online progress. If it says Presentarse, go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcstroker Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 It took me 12 weeks to get mine. Started 10/9, received card 1/6. Did it myself. I didn't have to show financials and have been here 9 years. I would go into the office to check on the status, the online feature doesn't always work. Was told to go into the office for fingerprint and final payment and when I got there they said that no, they weren't ready. When it came time to pick up there wasn't a presentarse notification but the card was there. Also remember Friday is the only day to pick up.

eagles100 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 It took us 9 weeks, not bad considering part of that time was during the Christmas shut-down. We went through Spencer's office. We had been pre-approved through a Canadian Consulate about 1 week before we started the process in November 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I too applied at the end of Sept thru Spencer - still have not been called for fingerprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bournemouth Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 We applied through Spencer- the INM receipt is dated 2nd October. One of us has been fingerprinted but nothing yet on the other person. I think it all depends on the luck of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfull Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 We applied with Spencer's office July 28 in Guadalajara. Called for fingerprints 6 days later. Picked up our cards Permanente cards 30 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrandkimberly Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I got the "pre approval" 6 month Permanente Visa in my passport from the Mexican Embassy In DC. I applied in Chapala on July 5 and got my card within 4 weeks. I then lost my wallet (with my card in it.......big problem, I'll only carry a copy from now on with the card safely in the home safe used only for travel). I then reapplied October 29 (had to pay the fee all over again.....no process for just replacing the card), and was fingerprinted again the second week of December, but still no card. I think the best time to get it done is during the summer when the 6 monthers and "snowbirds" are gone, with tourism in Mexico much less during that time frame.......and probably less demands on the staffs.
