looking for advice for permanent residency

[dermotwa]

I was told that for 2017, one can get permanent residency without getting temporary residency first. Is this also true for 2018? If so what are the requirements? I have to start the process in the US, is that still correct? I was thinking of starting the process in san diego,ca in the mexican embassy there, but i heard that it easier in some mexican embassies/consulates than others...does anyone have suggestions for where its easier to acquire? What is the best website for this info? Is it best to get a lawyer here in gto to make it less stressfull? ill be in san diego Ca next week , do i need to make an appointment at the mexican embassy there asap? id really appreciate any advice, thanks very much
