Well, sorry I didn't see your response until now. Sometimes I will get an email that tells me when a new post has come up. But I guess it's only to my direct message.
Anyways, let me know if you need anything. But I only have experience pertaining to getting a EEA Family Permit in the USA. However, you can find out more info here: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/applyonline/
Then hit the third link down in the main section that says: Visa4UK - Apply Online It will take you to another page that let's you start the process based on your current location. However, you can start the application as if you are outside the UK, say whichever country you're planning to apply in. You can save the application in their system for up to 1 week and when you're ready, you can then submit it electronically. The info is all there based on the links.
You said something about Mexico? It doesn't have to be done there, just anywhere outside of the UK. I should mention, that it can take anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks or longer. The first permit I got only took 2 days to get approved! Just be prepared. So, you better start at least 3-4 weeks before you really need it. It will be especially busy in December because of people wanting travel for the holidays. At least that's what I've read up on their website of times of seasonal delays.
I was really lucky to get my second EEA Family Permit. And with alot of contradicting information, was a little reluctant to do so because I was told by the Los Angeles UK Embassy that it would cancel my EEA2 here in the UK. But that wasn't true. I got it all in writing from the Borders and Immigration office here in the UK, saved it, and sent it in with my EEA Family Permit, highlighting the facts. Sounds silly, but I wanted to make sure there were no delays, and no problems with my current EEA2 application. I haven't waited this long to have it just up and cancelled. Sheesh!
Speaking of which...my EEA2 is still in process, past the 6 month time limit. I put in an official complaint a week before their decision deadline, and now someone is working on it. I have just over 2 weeks before my husband and I take off on vacation to celebrate his birthday and our 2nd wedding anniversary. I already know the drill with Home Office, so you bet I'll be on their backs next week to get my passport and approved EEA2.

Take care and again, just ask if you need anything...you can send a private message if you want a quicker reply.
Cheers!
