Does anyone know about bringing a leased vehicle from the US to Mexico?

Does anyone know about bringing a leased vehicle from the US to Mexico?
I want to bring my leased car from the US into Mexico. I know I have to get a notarized letter from the leasing company but how easily is this letter obtained? Do leasing companies readily give out this letter? I'm a student in Mexico, so I have an FM3 visa and will be living here for 3 years. Thanks! Charlie, how long does it take to get a car permit once all the documentation has been received?

You need to talk to the poeple that own the vehicle. they will probably not allow you to go to Mexico with it. Corporations have been allowed to take leased vehicles in as part of N.A.F.T.A. agreements but they are on buziness visas. As an average Joe the law is You must be the registered owner. You can try it but I , personally would go to your nearest Mexican consulate. You will need notarized permission from the vehicle owner and Mexican insurance. How do you plan on returning with expired plates?

The only correct answer you will get is the one you get when you CALL the leasing company and ask. To get a Mexican car permit you must have either the title or a letter of permission from the company holding the lein on the car. The Mexican consulate will not care about anything but seeing that letter when you go in to get a car permit. I have not brought a leased car to Mexico, but did bring a financed car. You must have made at least 6 payments and have your future payments set up with automatic payments through the bank. Each company has its own policies. If your company agrees to give you permission and provides that letter, then you can get a permit. If they do not give permission, you cannot get a permit. You just need to call them tomorrow and ask.

Illegal use consulate card from Mexico and his student ID to board airplane why are supporters outraged?

Illegal use consulate card from Mexico and his student ID to board airplane why are supporters outraged?
Illegal use Mexico consulate card from Mexico and his student ID to board airplane supporters are outraged that our are suppose to apply to him ?BOSTON — An undocumented Harvard University student is facing deportation to Mexico after being detained by immigration authorities at a Texas airport, the student said Friday. Eric Balderas, 19, who just completed his first year at Harvard, said he was detained Monday by immigration authorities when he tried to board a plane from his hometown of San Antonio to Boston using a consulate card from Mexico and his student ID. "I'd made it through before so I thought this time wouldn't be any different," Balderas said Friday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "But once ICE picked me up I really didn't know what to think and I was starting to break down." Balderas, who previously had used a Mexican passport to board planes but recently lost it, said he became despondent and thought he was being deported to Mexico immediately, only to be released the next day. He said he has a scheduled July 6 immigration hearing. "All I can think about was my family," said Balderas, who doesn't remember living in Mexico. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, Mark Medvesky, confirmed that Balderas was released and said his hearing will likely be in Boston. Harvard officials immediately threw support behind Balderas. "Eric Balderas has already demonstrated the discipline and work ethic required for rigorous university work, and has, like so many of our undergraduates, expressed an interest in making a difference in the world," said Christine Heenan, Harvard's vice president of public affairs and communications. The case also sparked a buzz on social media sites and among student immigrant activists who see the Balderas situation as the ideal test case to push the proposed DREAM act — a federal bill that would allow illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship via college enrollment or military service. Mario Rodas, who was an undocumented student in Chelsea, a small city near Boston, until Sen. John Kerry and the late Sen. Edward Kennedy came to his aid, launched a Facebook page Friday highlighting the Balderas case. "He's an excellent student and an example of someone this country needs," said Rodas. The page said that Balderas was brought to the U.S. from Mexico by his family at age 4 escape a domestic violence situation. A feature in the San Antonio Express-News last year said the graduate of Highlands High School in San Antonio was accepted into several small liberal arts colleges but chose to attend Harvard, where he has a full scholarship. Balderas said he is studying molecular and cellular biology at Harvard and hopes to become a cancer researcher. He said he qualified for Harvard's privately-funded scholarship package. "I'm a private person so this is a change for me," he said. In March, Balderas was one of hundreds of undocumented students to publicly announce his immigration status during a nationally organized "coming out" day for illegal immigrants. Balderas also has been an active member of student immigrant groups around Boston that have staged protests and sit-ins in an effort to get Sen. Scott Brown, R-Massachusetts, to support the DREAM Act. Brown has not said whether he supports the proposal, also called the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act. The bill is sponsored by Indiana Republican Sen. Richard Lugar and Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, of Illinois. In April, Lugar and Durbin sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, asking her to halt deportations of immigrant students who could earn legal status under the act. A number of college presidents have supported the legislation, including Harvard President Drew Faust, who sent a letter to Kerry and Kennedy urging them to pass it. Kyle de Beausset, a Boston-based student activist and a friend of Balderas, said student activists are ready to rally behind him. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jnk7spK92rmzC439rdIValXaBvxQD9G9CJJ00

I think he should be executed - then deported.
2 :
Mexico will FED EX a giant box of rocks to him and advise to taunt police and throw rocks and wait for police to make any effort to prevent this and then Mexico will help file human rights abuse against police as their citizens remain above the laws
3 :
of course his friends and fellow students will lobby on his behalf. the school probably will as well. he's more or less the perfect poster child for the Dream Act, so lots of others will lobby for him as well. that's not terribly surprising. everyone likes some illegal alien or another who's a wonderful person, very bright, just the sort of person you'd want in the US. that's one of the biggest problems in deporting large numbers of people. anyway, intelligent educated people don't throw rocks. they contact congressmen, legal organizations and activist groups. it tends to be more effective, and no one shoots back.

It is extremely difficult as an international student to be accepted at any Ivy League school even if you go to the best school in any country. You need to show that you are particularly outstanding to be accepted. Harvard has a 6% acceptance rate. Your sister does not have to take the SAT as a foreign student at most colleges. She needs to take an English exam and send her transcript to the college she wants to apply to. They have people on staff who understand foreign transcripts. Good Luck!

How can F1 int'l student in US travel to Canada/Mexico? With what papers?

How can F1 int'l student in US travel to Canada/Mexico? With what papers?
My US visa is expired but I am legal for the duration of the I-20 (Russian citizen). If I go to Canada, what papers would they check on the border to enter Canada (maybe only DL? don't they only check DL for US citizens, how would they know if I am a foreigner?)? Would I have to apply at a US diplomatic mission in Canada for a new visa to come back to the US? I want to go to Canada to practice French but not sure if I want to wait for (if they issue it) a new visa to come back.

You can travel to Canada, Mexico and certain Caribbean Islands on an expired visa as long as you still have a valid SEVIS generated I-20 form. BUT YOU CAN NOT BE OUT OF THE US FORM MORE THEN 30 DAYS! To come back in the US you will need a valid passport, your expired visa, your I-94 form and the valid I-20 (make sure the school updates the form in SEVIS). Normally, when you depart the US you surrender the I-94 form ,however, in the case of short term travel to Canada & Mexico DO NOT surrender it. If you surrender the I-94 at the Canadian border you will not be allowed back in. While you could apply for a new F-1 visa while in Canada, if you get denied (which is very likely) you will not be allowed back in the US. As long as you don't stay more then 30 days and don't apply for a new visa you'll have no problem. Also beware that as a Russian you'll need a visa to get into Canada. If you are very confident that you have a perfect American accent, look american and have an american name they might let you slide by with your driver license but it's highly unlikely (maybe possible if you drive to Canada but there is no way you can get by if you fly in). Also, only a driver license accompanied by a US birth certificate is an acceptable substitute for a US passport. A driver license alone is not acceptable proof to enter Canada.

If it is going about baggage- also take some sweaters, but do not forget about t-shirt- in houses we have rather warm (23-25degrees), especcialy in student's one- I remember people dying there cause of hot ;) I suggest you take also some party outfit- students love parties here :) To take notebook for classes is also very comfy and popular- also to the library- we have all these places well adjusted. I also need to warn you- I do not know where you will be living, but take some lock for your suitcase- things happen and better to have percious things locked- just in case Life in Poland is not that expensive, although dollar is not very strong. If you are interested in some more info, u can write me: sicilpol@yahoo.it In general, if you forget something, do not worry- u will find here all u need :) Good luck!
