New Immigration Rules for Mexico to Start Jan. 2, 2012

Can't Post | Private Reply

There are reports from INM offices around Mexico that the New INM Law will begin implementation on Jan 2. 2012. There are even reports that INM staff have been attending special training sessions on the new Reglamentos this past month. Hopefully, the training will pay-off, making a smooth transition.

For more details see a post at: http://yucalandia.wordpress.com/...to-start-jan-2-2012/ , and a longer article on the New Law at: http://yucalandia.wordpress.com/...-mexico-the-article/

The article says we can expect publication of the rules in "próximos meses." = coming months

I made a Costco run yesterday and of course the Tapatios were driving insanely like the world was going to end if they didn't get one car length further ahead in traffic. I just smiled, but also was thinking at the time, what a paradox, in a country where much is whenever and manana etc. they drive like they have a death wish.

FYI, I took some documents (birth and marriage certificates) into the Mexican Consulate here in Vancouver this morning to get them "legalized" prior to our move down in March and they knew nothing of any changes taking place next week. Guess they haven't got the memo yet.......

My No Inmigrante expires on the 5th of May and is a Prórroga 4. Now does this mean that I can apply for a Residente Permanente? From what I read on another forum, I have to do it within six month of expiration. Right?

The following is a Google translation.

SEGOB work in developing the Rules of the Migration Act
Bulletin 490
Mexico, D.F., 27/12/2011

The Interior Ministry reports that it has made a constant work in coordination and consultation with the various agencies of the Federal Public Administration involved in the immigration issue, from the publication of the Migration Act in the Official Journal of the Federation, 25 May 2011, and before the Federal Executive's obligation to issue its regulations.

The integration process and approval of such law is in an advanced stage, so its publication is expected in the coming months.

The Federal Government, through the SEGOB, is determined to develop a regulation properly implements the principles contained in the most important law on migration in the last 70 years in our country.

In the case of civil society organizations related to issues of protection of migrants and human rights, the Interior Ministry implemented a communication mechanism with the aim of collecting and addressing their main concerns about the legal guarantee in the full respect for human rights of migrants, non-criminalization of irregular migration, access to justice and due process, the regular transit country, the worthy accommodation in migrant, regulating the procedures for care of children and young migrants, as well as the identification of victims of crime.

In this regard, it received 132 proposals, which have been analyzed and, in most cases, including in the draft Regulation of the Migration Act.

Although the rights protected by migrants Migration Act are fully guaranteed since its publication, the Federal Government reaffirms its commitment to have a regulation that reflects the principles of the Act and properly regulate immigration procedures.

"In the coming months" - that's an appropriately vague bureaucratic phrase!

Well from my experience, until something shows up in the Diario Oficial, its better not to speculate too much about what the content might be. IF I were them I would try to encourage through immigration reforms, a more skilled American to immigrate and create a few jobs. Maybe they could look into drunk driving convictions in the states before approving any new applicants. The US is expelling the undocumented in very high numbers because of drunk driving convictions. Mexico might retaliate. The Catholic PAN government might want more limits on the Puritans, maybe even crack down a little bit on them. They don't drink or create jobs. But on the other hand we are substantial taxpayers. I understand that nearly eighty percent of the retail cost of Mexican made Hard Liquor goes to taxes in one form or another. In Soriana's where there are few Americans, there is much less shelf space dedicated to Alcohol. And right now on New Years eve, there are 25% discounts on every hard liquor in the Soriana in Puebla, but not in Tijuana. Then again they just might postpone it all until the next government takes over. I don't think the immigration issue has a lot of priority. Not much gets done in the last year of the sexenio, unless it gets a few votes for the party in power. Nobody cares about this issue except the people that it applies to and they don't vote.
