I just received my permanent residency card, my CURP number and card, and my INAPAM (senior citizen) card for Mexico. I am relieved and excited. For those of you that have been following my story (see blog posts dated July 9th, 2013 and August 5th, 2014), you know it’s been a challenge. I am writing this post to outline the steps I took for obtaining permanent residency status in Mexico.
