Messed up on FM3

So after reading info on the web, I THOUGHT I was suppose to fill out the online application then go to my local Mexican Consulate to finish the paperwork. Apparently the online application is ONLY for getting your FM3 in actual mexico.

Is there any way to cancel my online application? A time frame of a month or something that it cancels itself?

As of right now they told me I can NOT get an FM3 in the states since I started the online application. :mad:

Which now means I am most likely going to have to pay some hefty taxes to take my desktop and other things that I had purchased when I cross the border :(

You started an application by mistake ... no big deal. Head for the border, get a tourst visa and apply for an FM3 when you get settled. Tell them at the border you have a 4-5 month rental and the things you are bringing are what you need for the visit.

BTW there is no "menaje de casa" which used to allow free importation of your wordly goods. Just state your condition and if there is a small fee -- pay it. Just bring nothing new in the box.

Well there is no "Menaje de casa" unless one of you is a Mexican National. My husband is Mexican and we are bringing our list to the consulate this week or next at the latest. He can go once with no duty. ha ha The trick is that I had to pack everything and then unpack what we're still using so I have a collection of empty boxes with lists on the sides....
