Sometimes its the everyday "things" that we miss about the states. All in all I am getting the hang of things here living in Colima. I too am an American married to a Mexican and we have two children. Hope you guys are well, best wishes!<br /><br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-65602866256409073852010-03-30T16:05:07.363-07:002010-03-30T16:05:07.363-07:00Just found your blog and enjoy it very much.

I'm planning to go to a language school in Zapopan,Jalisco this October and am wondering if you know if that is close to where you're living. I think it's a suburb of Guad. I'm so excited because I am planning to be a missionary to Chiapas Mexico and need to learn the language first. The Lord is so gracious. I'm blessed by your blog. Praying for you and your family!mexicoboundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904612556200162940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-35217570838816606382010-01-30T06:25:42.384-08:002010-01-30T06:25:42.384-08:00Abby-leaving and coming is no big deal as long as ...Abby-leaving and coming is no big deal as long as you get your booklet stamped by the Mexican immigration on your booklet. Thats where I messed up I didn't get it on the way out. When you renew they get a copy of your entire passport so they can tell if you have gone or not. Does that make sense?bordersasidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142674938117338592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-38369548178628009732010-01-27T07:39:31.769-08:002010-01-27T07:39:31.769-08:00What my friends leave all the time!

You can not do this with the FM3. But with the FM2 in order to work you also have to get and pay for a separate work permit that isn't necessary with the FM3, Hope that helps.bordersasidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142674938117338592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-19248660804665659972010-01-26T18:35:39.788-08:002010-01-26T18:35:39.788-08:00Please tell me what is the advantage of having the...Please tell me what is the advantage of having the FM2?

You have to fill out a form when you leave the country, you turn in part to emigration they give you back the red copy. Then when you return you turn in the red copy and they stamp your visa (sometimes they stamp the passport too, but the visa is the important one). There is a fine if you have been entering Mexico on just your passport instead of doing this. Of course, no one tells about it at immigration 'cuz TIM.<br />No govt agency seems to handle money, so you get used to having to find a bank to make a payment.<br />It all gets easier, at least your husband speaks Spanish!<br />regards,<br />TheresaTheresa in Mèridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217945138741786373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-80052934579565985272010-01-26T13:58:03.590-08:002010-01-26T13:58:03.590-08:00I can't believe it is already that time.. it s...I can't believe it is already that time.. it seems like you just got that all in order like 6 months ago. wow. time is flying, well for me it is.

As soon as you get your permanent residency the game will be over and you will have won. In the meantime don't show your anger. All that will do is set you back a few steps. One very important thing...when leaving the country you need to check with migration at the airport before you board the plane and get your FM2 booklet stamped. When you get back they will stamp it again and give you a piece of paper. You should guard this piece of paper with your FM2. They can fine you if you don't both check out and check in.Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.com
