Hi Kristin,
Read your blog twice about “How I Got Permanent Residency in Mexico While in my 30s”. Sorry, but I didn’t get it, what paperwork did you submit at INM office in Mexico?(Step 3) You printed off all your bank statements and submited to the Detroit consulate.(Step 2)
Could you please, explain me what else do/did you have to submit at INM office in Mexico?
Have a great day,
Jenny
