Hi folks, soon I'm going to begin applying for residente temporal. Below are the instructions from the site. Does anyone know if bank statements need to be notarized? It's so expensive here, $10 per stamp! 12 months of bank statements? Do they really want that many?

Also for the financial requirements, does one need to show bank statements AND an employee letter, or just one? Any help is much appreciated. ~Radita

Requirements:


Apply at this Consulate General in person

Fill out the Application form, English or Español (click here)

Valid passport in original and one photocopy of the pages containing personal information, photograph of bearer and expiration date/extensions

Valid US visa for multiple entries and one photocopy

Valid I-94 and/or I-20 or J-1 or I-797A Form in original and one photocopy

One photo passport size, no glasses

Original financial records (last twelve months of your bank statements in US Dollars, last twelve months of pay stubs, employment letter specifying your position and salary and the last twelve months of international credit card statements. You can also submit official documents proving the ownership of a property/company/business) and one photocopy of them or a yearly social security statement

If a company/organization/association in Mexico is sponsoring or inviting the foreign national, the applicant can submit an original invitation letter* from them (the invitation must have a letterhead, address and signed in ink. Scanned or pdf versions won’t be accepted). Ministers of religion should submit original letter of “anuencia” (consent) of the Ministry of the Interior (Secretaría de Gobernación) from Mexico

Payment or Consular fee (see fee tab) (only cash or money order)

I did not have 1 iota of problems when dealing with the Consulate in British Columbia.
Follow their explicite instructions. If you are not sure, call them or email and you'll get the correct information. Some Consulates require more info, some less. Your direction must come from the consulate you must deal with, so their instructions are what will get you the proper stamps on your passport. Forget what you read "On Line." They, the consulate will make the final decision.
