Asimilado = assimilated. Like the Borg do?

So, expats do not qualify for Inmigrado status until they have completed 5 years of Inmigrante (FM2), but they must apply for Inmigrado status at least 6 months before their FM2 expires ~ which means you apply Inmigrado status during the first 6 months of Year 4 of your FM2. Further details and information on FMMs, FM2s, FM3s, and Inmigrado status can be found at http://yucalandia.wordpress.com/...xico-fmm-fm2-or-fm3/
Clear as mud?

I think mud might be clearer but thanks for the information. Since my 5 year Inmigrante period is under 6 months from completion I'll take a trip to INM with cards and copies in hand and ask what the current rules are for application to Inmigrado.

SRE's website reports the requirements for qualifying for Inmigrado status. This section answers the question of when to apply:
" 3. Exhibir original y dos fotocopias de todas las páginas del documento migratorio vigente con la calidad de inmigrante o inmigrado, expedido por la Secretaría de Gobernación, con el que el interesado acredite su legal estancia (Art. 14 RLN), en consecuencia, la residencia en el país durante cinco años inmediatos anteriores a la fecha de la solicitud, el cual deberá tener una vigencia mínima de seis meses, posteriores a la presentación de la solicitud, del que se desprenda la Clave Única de Registro de Población (CURP); "

Carta de naturalización por residencia: http://www.sre.gob.mx/...acion-por-residencia ( bolded section highlighted to aid Mexconnect readers)

Crude Google translation:
" 3. Display original and two photocopies of all pages of the current immigration document with the quality of immigrant or immigrant, issued by the Interior Ministry, with which the applicant attesting their legal status (Art. 14 RLN), hence the residence the country for five years immediately preceding the date of the application, which must have a minimum validity of six months after the filing, which discards the Unique Key Population Registration (CURP); "

This particular regulation has been in effect for many years.
And, yes, it is definitely wise to get notarized permission from both parents,
