Went to Immigration with my FM3, got the CURP number - took maybe 10 minutes, no line up. Then off to INAPAM itself. Another 10 minute wait then into the office. Handed over my FM3, 2 photos I had left over from the FM3 application process, gave my address info (it was easier to just hand the clerk my telephone bill) and I was done and out within 10 minutes. Total time, including getting from Immigration to INAPAM, processing etc: about an hour. Of course now I have to go back and get the booklet!

From our home on Calle 56 it was not much of a walk. We arrived early, were directed to the clerks on the other side of the courtyard and amazing..no cue!! We stated what we wanted in our limited Spanish and everything seemed to be moving along smoothly. We should've known something was wrong. It seems that we are missing our Federal Registration Number on pagina 6 of our FM3. So, before you head out double check the information on your FM3. If there is no information under the heading "Fue inscrito en el Registro Nacional de Extranjeros bajo el numero....." then head over to immigration. That's were we will be this! <br />Nancy y BarryNancy Hoagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102190599986272705.post-90128030019152462262009-04-20T09:07:00.000-05:002009-04-20T09:07:00.000-05:00Belive me, our Spanish skills are limited and we d...Belive me, our Spanish skills are limited and we did it.

Very informative and interesting article, well written on top of it.<BR/><BR/>We've already made one unsuccessful trip to the old prison (the line was very long and kept getting longer in front of us as people just kept jumping into the line up at the front). That experience made us less than enthusiastic about trying again.<BR/><BR/>With your help, we should be able to do this without too much frustration (aside from our dismal Spanish language skills). It will be nice to get the card and the discounts so that we can add one more "good" thing to the short list of good things about getting old!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!nokknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102190599986272705.post-20500769859743359602009-04-06T10:56:00.000-05:002009-04-06T10:56:00.000-05:00But wait!
