My lawyer told me the same thing....  WRONG...  I got a checklist.(We are both in US, IR-1 seeking, i601a approved)     ....(as of MAY 15, reciprocity agreements have been reached with MX,,, NVC now requires (but some people are getting through, i didn't) )

 

-Below is a follow up email from NVC - confirming the checklist i received prior-,,, PD must be sent i ...  attached is a copy of one.   All the leg work is done at MEXICO consulate in USA  (fingerprints, photo, legals, power of attorney)

YES, but it took over 1/1/2 months.  The first problem was the Mexican Consulate in USA, we had to make appointment with them to arrange for documents,  fastest date they had was 3 weeks - do you need information (I will explain if u like)...

Then needed a relative in MX to pick up, then we needed a power of attorney.... for relative....  then something else.....problems, after problems.... until i remembered , this is Mexico not friggin US Immigration  idiots - (I love MEXICO, EASY TO do business there ) ....always ask, "How Much and to who do I pay"  ... for me - 1500.00 pesos (about 80 USD)for "Lawyers fees" in Acapulco (ACApulco is in the state i need doc from)  .... my certificate (legit, real docs from State Office) sent FEDEX that very day,,,,,  basically i wasted a month with Mexican officials in the US when i just needed a Lawyer in Mexico to file I(obtain) records...

We didnt send a police report from mexico for the waiver and we got approved what my lawyer has told us is that you only need police reports from where you live here in USA we went to get a police report from the county we live in i think if you lived in diferent states you need to get from those states.
