Temporary Resident

I plan on applying for the Residente Temporal for the first time. I just have a tourist visa currently. I will be returning to US for a visit in June and can do some of the paperwork in San Francisco perhaps.

Is there a generous soul in La Manzanilla willing to help me understand the process? I can read Spanish.

Many thanks!

Please respond at the white envelope.

Not much different for temporary. You will need to go to the local Consulate, take the paperwork they give you and return with a years worth of bank records and the forms filled out. Upon returning with your records they will look over you're paperwork. You will receive appointment by e-mail within ten days. Upon receipt of e-mail contact them and more than likely an appointment will be made for the next week. Return with passport, $39.00 an they will scan you're fingerprint. Not very difficult really!

Yes, I just went through the process...

I just posted this in the above thread. Would be glad to answer any and all questions if this doesn't work.

I just obtained my temporary visa this morning from the consulate in Portland. It is good for up to four years.
These are the requirements as of 2012 for temporary resident.
Bring one years worth of bank statements.
Bring you're passport.
Pay close attention to you're e-mail as they do business by email. They are required to make you an appointment within ten days, that is the law.
They will e-mail you the appointment time.
If you fail to make the set appointment time, you start the entire process over again. New forms, new bank statements, the whole enchilada.
At the set appointment they fingerprint you, both index fingers and take you're photo.
Pay the $36.00 fee in the consulate, leave with you're visa permanently affixed to you're passport.

That's it.....


Within 30 days of crossing you are required to check in with the local (any) immigration office, which will grant you FMM status. Do not fail this part of the process, the outcome wouldn't be nice.

Hope this helped..
