We were told it could take 2-3 weeks to get Mexican visas while in Seattle. And then Nancy and Paul called from Mazatlan and gave us some first-hand info on how to manuever the visa red tape maze. Thank you Nancy and Paul!
On their advice, we headed back to the Mexican Consulate in Seattle Tuesday morning. We had gone there once, but felt so intimidated we left! But this time we got there before the office opened at 8AM. We met Mr. Diaz who was very helpful.
We left to gather documents and when we returned on Friday Mr. Diaz worked some magic and expedited our visas! We can now cross the border with FM3 visas in hand.
I’m still kicking

Congratulations, you guys! We are SO GLAD it worked out so well for you!
We can't wait to hear about your upcoming adventures!
Don't forget to register your FM3s as soon as you get to your new home. You go to immigration and they register you, I can't remember what you need, but probably the ever necessary comprobante (utility bill) to prove you actually live where you say you live. The comprobante doesn't need to be in your name.

Theresa
Congratulations.
Woohoo!!! One step closer, eh?
Hi, we also live in Seattle and need to get an FM# from the Consulate. I printed off the application, but can anyone tell me what else is required, or where I can find that information? Is it possible to take all of our documentation to the consulate and get our FM3 in 1 day? Thanks, Diane
