They said it had to be a sibling with the same set of surnames or a parent. That was the only option they gave. So today hubby just re-did the carta de poder and sent it to his brother. Once again, we begin the beguine....

Just an FYI to everyone: In case you are sending someone else to get the antecedentes no penales at the SSP in D.F., make sure it is a "direct" family member such as a parent or sibling (sibling with the same last names). My husband sent his nephew and they would not give it to him. They said...

My hubby is not in Mexico and they DID ask for the SSP certificate.

Thank you for that Nessa!

Congrats!!! 8)

Hey Nessa, when you guys got there, did they know exactly what you were asking for? Also, did they attend you at Xola No. 324, Colonia del Valle, Delegación Benito Juárez, México, D.F.? Or did they send you to another location?

That's a tough call. But the good news is that if you do need this document, it can be gotten on the same day (in D.F.).

I agree Nessa, good idea to get the SSP now just in case. I think both of our files are very close to being decided. Fingers crossed!!

No, he is in the States. He will send his relative to go and get it.

Well, we actually did receive the request for the Certificado de antecedentes no penales a few weeks ago. This was after submitting the documents for the PGR and the state police reports. The letter stated the following: Dear Applicant, This refers to your application for permanent residence...

I agree Nessa. That is what happened to me too! I know the waiting is so hard for all of us but, at the risk of sounding cliche, it will be worth it in the end. Once we receive that letter asking for the passport, all of the waiting in the past won't matter any more. I keep envisioning how I...

TSA is only concerned that your boarding pass matches your ID. They are not immigration officials. The only time you encounter immigration officials is once you land in a foreign country. Their are exceptions to this (i.e. I know that when you are leaving Toronto Pearson International airport...

That's fabulous. Glad you guys liked it.

I know, I feel the same way. In our case, living apart has been very frustrating. Feeling like your life is split in half (in two different countries). But I suppose in the big scheme of things, this time frame will be short compared to the rest of our lives. Let's keep our collective chin up...

I actually only received an email (in the beginning of April). They did not mention anything about a letter in regular mail. They told me in the email all of the information to compile and send to the the Canadian Embassy.

They did not ask me to send a prepaid envelope for the PGR. Perhaps that is because we had to submit the required information directly to the Canadian Embassy in D.F. We were asked to submit information for the "Informe de Datos Registrales". I think the requirement is a bit different than the...

I hear ya on that one Edgar! This whole process has been a small fortune. We kind of get "nickeled and dimed" to death. It's like $50 here and $100 there. The only solace is that it is for a good cause. We will be united with our sweethearts, hopefully sooner than later.

Yes, we got the request and sent all of the requested information about 2 1/2 weeks ago. We are now playing the waiting game; story of all of our lives!!

Hang in there Edgar, you are in the final stretch. Your time is finally coming...

I was just talking to one of my friends about this the other day, how ironic. My husband always says that there is a common misconception in Mexico that everyone that has emigrated to the U.S. (and Canada) automatically make a lot of money and that they should feel obligated to send money back...
