Problem of visa In DF

Hi David, something similar happened to me a few years ago. Anyway, the max limit for being out of the country is 180 days according to the law last time I checked. If you passed that threshold, and especially if it overlapped with the expiry date of your FM2, then your antiquity in Mexico is pretty much flushed down the toilet. It is harsh but other countries are far more strict to be honest.

I would just re-apply for a work visa and get the company who hired you to contract the services of an immigration lawyer. It's much easier than doing it yourself, believe me.

When you eventually get around to applying for permanent residence the 2 years you spent in Mexico will be considered in your case so all is not completely lost.

I should also comment that once you accept Mexican nationality under Mexican law you will lose your status as being French since they don't allow dual nationality either.

¡Mucha suerte!
