I'm Andrea Durazo, founder of Llave Group. I help English-speaking clients through the Mexican residency visa process — assembling the documents, preparing for the consular interview, and staying with each case from start to finish. My firsthand consular experience is what shapes how I guide every client.
Backed by firsthand consular experience.
What I do
Llave Group prepares Mexican residency visa applications for English-speaking clients applying through consulates in the United States. In practice that comes down to three things: getting your document set right before a consular officer ever sees it, making sure your financial evidence reads the way a consulate needs it to read, and being reachable on the days that actually matter.
I work in English and Spanish, and I handle the Spanish side of the process so you don't have to.
How a case runs
A free consultation. We compare your income or savings against the current threshold and I tell you plainly whether you qualify. If you don't, I say so on that call — it costs you nothing and saves you a trip.
Document preparation. Passport, photos, financial statements, and apostilles where they're needed — assembled and checked against the requirements of the specific consulate you're applying to, not a generic list.
Interview preparation. What the consular officer is likely to ask, what your statements need to show on their face, and which questions you should answer briefly rather than expansively.
Consulate day. I'm reachable by phone and WhatsApp while you're there, in case something comes up at the window.
The canje in Mexico. Your consular visa is not your residency card — it's permission to enter and finish the process. You have 30 days from entering Mexico to begin the exchange at an INM office, and I stay with you through that step, which is where most people are left on their own.
Area of Expertise
Arizona has four Mexican consulates — Phoenix, Tucson, Nogales and Douglas — which is more than any other state. Clients from California, Colorado and across the Mountain West route their applications through Arizona for exactly that reason: when one consulate's calendar is full, there are three others. I work across all four and choose based on live appointment availability and your travel logistics.
What I don't do
I'm not a lawyer. Llave Group is a document preparation and facilitation service, not a law firm, and nothing I give you is legal advice.
I can't buy you an appointment or move you up a queue. Consulate appointments come out of the consulate's own booking system. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you.
I can't guarantee approval. The consular officer decides, and that discretion is real. What I can do is make sure nothing in your file hands them an easy reason to say no.
I don't work for the Mexican government, and no facilitator does. You are always free to apply on your own — plenty of people do it successfully, and if that's the better call for your situation, I'll tell you that too.
