Changes in migratory law?

Can't Post | Private Reply

In today's Atencion newspaper in San Miguel there was an interview with Clemente Villalpando, of the regional immigration office in Guanajuato. In this he talks about two new changes, one being the change from FM3 and FM2 to No Inmigrante and Inmigrante ( which I don't really consider new). The other being that they will no longer accept bank statements as proof of income but will require a letter from your bank stating that you have a monthy income that meets the requirement as opposed to periodical income (the term used in the article), which implies that the frequent practice of recycling the same money in your account for 3 months before applying or renewing will no longer suffice). Does anyone know anything about this change regarding proof of income? In April I changed from No Inmigrante to Inmigrante at the San Miguel office and they accepted my bank statements as proof of income so I wonder when or if this new requirement started. I have not seen anything about it on any of the online groups that I read and I would think that it would affect a lot of people. So, has anyone had any experience with this?

I really doubt this to be true for what bank will issue a letter, in a way, guaranteeing your income status. I wonder if award letters from Social Security and Veterans Administration will be denied.

I didn't see this article online and could not find it there either. It was on page 6 of the print version. I don't usually get this newspaper as I do not actually live in San Miguel but just happened to be there yesterday and picked up a copy. The other odd thing was that nowhere was it mentioned about the pending changes that we have all been waiting to hear about for so long. That's why the article originally caught my attention as I thought it would be discussing those changes.

Yes, that was my thought too. The article did say that Social Security documents could be used but many people that I know use a combination of resources as the amount of Social Security does not always meet the requirement and I know quite a few people who are not old enough to collect Social Security yet and live off of investment income, which varies month to month.

The article also says that Inmigrado status is granted to people who have lived in the country for at least 10 years??? Maybe these are Guanajuato´s rules.

The Delegate´s email is: cvillalpando@inami.gob.mx

Isn't it immigration law? Migratory law sounds like it applies to birds, butterflies and such.

True, and you should hear what they require from birds and butterflies for a visa.

I heard a couple years ago some monarchs entered Mexico with out visas and the government made them stay way up in the mountains where some froze to death.

Those monarchs would have been Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles?
