Thanks for this Americana, we went today and it was great! They even had tomatillos, we were very impressed! We also got dried Epazote and chilies around the corner at La Tortilleria.


Thanks again :D

Hi everybody!
Been a while since I posted on here...

Quick question: Can my wife go back to Canada (just for a short visit) while our sponsorship papers are processing? (btw, she's a Canadian citizen who's now living with me here in Mexico, and recently got her FM2)
Yeah she can. I live with my SO,(common law) in mexico and travel back to Canada for visits. I have an FM3 tho but i dont think that matters.

I've been to La Tortilleria and to the store around the corner from it (is that Tierra Azteca?) I was glad that they have tinga! Spicy chipotle-onion-and-chicken is always good.
In other news, there's a small grocery on Queen East at Lee called Carload. they have a good deal on aguacates: 3 big nice ones for $5. Those 3 usually last me all week, so can't complain. I haven't been back to Sonora since I landed on May 23 2011, but I'm planning to go soon, and guess what the first order of business will be? Go to the corner store and walk out with 3 kilos of creamy ripe aguacates to stuff my face. JAJA

Thanks for the reply!

You actually MANAGED to get an FM3???!!! How on earth did you succesfully get a company to sponsor you !!??
My wife and I tried with several companies because she wants to work here in Mexico and NO COMPANY wants to provide her with the documents required for Instituto Nacional de Migración, (INM)... :mad:

Any tips for my Wife??

Ah I dont know if it's different where you are, we are in Jalisco and the FM3 is the no immigrante visa the rentista one so i'm not able to work for a mexican employer :) The FM2 is the work one :)

Yum! Where we live the stores around us always sell a bag of them for 2.99 so a pretty good price, but they're always the smaller ones!

You should hear in the next 15 days or so (they're up to 89 days for processing and you're at ~75) so it all depends on the volume of applications they got just before you applied. May it go super fast for you!

Just called the PGR in Veracruz and they said that we can get it from here! So that´s good news. Still takes 10 days though. Now we just have to wait for the letter from the embassy to go get it. I am kind of getting worried about the letter. It´s been about a month since they said they sent it!

I'm also waiting on the PGR letter. The email says that if you haven't received the letter after 60 days to email them so they can resend it.

60 days is a long time though!

Yeah it is! But isnt there also a set amount of time you have to bring it back to the embassy?
