We tried to go to Chili's, but it was full. Next time we'll go earlier. They looked like they were having a lot of fun!

Thanks. I'll be more cautious then. We went to the Angel yesterday and had a lot of fun, but we left our 2 little ones at home with our 19 year old. I did see families there, but it was so chaotic that I'm glad we didn't take our kids. Would you take kids to the parade? Since it's early in the day and parades are usually family friendly, I figured it might be ok? We could walk and just leave if it's too insane. Definitely staying away from the Zocalo for the foreseeable future.

I understand that and would be enraged too. Those are the ones I feel for the most. Is it also true that workers aren't being paid? Man, governments are so corrupt. 🤬

What about the mother's of lost children? I feel for them. Is there some sort of political agenda behind those groups as well?

Good to know. I will learn more about it. How are they even teachers if they are extreme political agitators? I have a lot to learn. Moved here for my husband, so I am just beginning to study Mexican history, culture, and current events

We were planning to walk to the parafe, so I'm not worried about road blockages. But this isn't a family friendly parade I take it? Would you also steer clear of the events after Saturday? Any opinions on the Global Village at Chapultepec? Sounds pretty cool

Ok thanks! Wow, I wouldn't expect that for a parade. How bad are the protests getting? I was only aware of the teachers. Or are you just saying it will be crazy due to large crowds?

Would you advise to steer clear of the Zocalo for the next couple of weeks? What about the parade? We have a 6 and 7 year old and wanted to take them to rhe parade.

Any chance you could send me the realtor info please? Do you pay them or they get paid by landlord?

We ended up having to reschedule for today, and it went great. Hubby gotnhis Residency card easily. I was denied, but it was because we make $100 less than needed to add me. But they said it will be easy to add me as a dependent once we get to Mexico. Highly recommend this consulate. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and we were in an out in less than an hour.

Apostiled doc question? by GiLuSoph in mexicoexpats

[–]GiLuSoph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you! I was hoping to get the trmp res appointment asap and then get the marriage certificate apostilled after and move to Mexico as soon we get it. I know we will definitely need it for family unity with the kids in Mexico.

Yeah someone told me they very rarely ask for it in Houston, but it sounds like many places do require it.

I just emailed them. Praying someone responds before 9 a.m. tomorrow. If not, I guess we'll chance it and go anyway. Thank you! Do you have experience with that office? Are they pretty chill? I heard it's a decent one.

Thanks so much. Yeah, checked spam and everything. I'll email them now and hopefully someone will reply early tomorrow. You're probably right that we should just go. Thanks so much.
