Immigrations Hell

It’s that time of year again, which means I have to renew my Mexican FM2 visa. Everything was going smoothly until the immigrations clerk asked for the “founding declaration” of Novell and a list of all its employees (!). I provided the former document last year, so it should have already been in their files, and the latter document is not on the official list of required paperwork that I was given.

To top it off, these are confidential documents that Novell de Mexico cannot release to me, so the immigrations office has to make an official letter requesting it. Hopefully the added potential for screwups resulting from this process won’t be realized.

    Papirmølla i Noreg er heller ikkje lita, men kanskje å føretrekke likevel?

    You just need some more competent immigration lawyers, really. From what I’ve heard, it sounds like the one you/Novell use are really not doing their job very well. Mine are quite good, I provide an absolute minimum of paperwork, wait, pay, and get my visa back. Zero hassle.
