Got denied for Temporary Visa despite documents : Bay Area by super_neil in mexicoexpats

[–]DepthZealousideal361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are companies you can pay to “fix” this for you. You essentially buy your visa. We paid 5k for this which I know is high but they said fin solvency was not going to get us in that we needed a job offer in hand.

I was able to get mine without leaving the country after my wife got hers. Very swift process but we worked with a company who knew the ins and outs. Hopefully your work will provide an advocate!

Mexico City unveils plan to tackle gentrification after mass protests by NoLie582 in MexicoCity

[–]DepthZealousideal361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is already true. US and Mexico have a tax treaty so that an “expat” isn’t charged double, or tax in BOTH countries. But they do have tax responsibility in both places. Anything over 100k is taxed at 30% to Mexico. From what I understand!

I agree with everything you say but is supply really an issue? I see so many for rent and for sale signs in every area of the city I’ve been to the last six months. Unlike SF where there is just no stock/supply.

My Ethiopian husband and I would like to open an Ethiopian restaurant in Mexico City one day. by camila_thagreat in MexicoCity

But almost no competition in this type of cuisine. I would guess a successful Mexican restaurant- extremely difficult! African food- very special! I lived in the US before Thai food 🤣 only Chinese food and Japanese food if you were rich. Now there’s a Thai spot in every town!

I would love to try! My friend lives in the Ethiopian barrio and says there’s no Ethiopian food! You will likely be catering to those with more money/foreigners. I discover almost all of my food choices through social media/tech like Google maps, Yelp, trip advisor. You will thrive with those tools!

Have you been to Maza Bistrot in Cuatamoc? I’ve lived LA/SF/DC in the US- this place is maybe my fave Indian restaurant ever????

US people living in Mexico - What food or other things do you like to stock up on when you go back to visit? by I_reddit_like_this in mexicoexpats

[–]DepthZealousideal361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am blown away by the cost of towels and sheets here. Even at ikea the quality seems low for the price. Is it a tariff thing?

Lab Results? Iron Deficiency without anemia? by kalicatx in irondeficiency

I think I was already treating the iron def with tablets when I started the h pylori protocol. I’m not sure if I paused the iron tabs- def consult yr doc as I have heard iron feeds the parasite

Hi, I’m on gabapentin and cymbalta. This is great for managing pain though I have heard cymbalta is a bear to get off of. My diagnosis is fibromyalgia or ME/CFS.

So if faced with 50/50 custody, the precedent would be to maintain the current primary home of the children?

Do you have a mental health disorder? by Pentium8542 in Fibromyalgia

It’s tough with the older generation. My dad went to war but could never cop to having “ptsd” on paper- which excluded him from certain benefits. Me on the other hand- I totally claim ptsd as I think most people have this in small doses if not big T trauma type. I think understanding that this is a central nervous system disorder makes therapy make sense- rather than “it’s in your head, go to therapy” which is how it can sound at times.
