Getting Permanent Residency Status First Step

We went through this process and had a TRV to renew every year. When renewing in January 2016 we learned that you can purchase the remaining years all at once. In other words, if you want to avoid the annual renewal legwork you can pay for a 4 year TRV. It's a bit less than 4x the annual fee but you are putting out all the money at once.

You need photo's taken in Mexico for your TRV application before going to immigration. They are referred to as "infantile" (sp?) at any photo shop.
