becoming Mexican citizen, the new requirements
Anyone know the new low down on obtaining Mex citizenship. am a permanent resident card holder and want to take the next step, but heard as of March
2014 its all turned upside down, sideways, and backwards......Any info appreciated. I contacted Gilberto Pineda, but he's saying 5 years needed as a
permanent resident before you can apply ???????

I tell you what, though
Once you have fulfilled the 5 year time requirement ( and if you have citizenship from a latin country, this requirement used to be and may still be,
only 2 years), the process is now quite fast. We booked tickets for June thinking it would take the normal 4 months......Les just heard yesterday
that he must pick up his citizenship paperwork within the next 30 days, or forfeit it. So off he goes next week after only 2 months wait.

It took me three years Blanca, and I was forced to go to Mexico City. I heard ZERO from the SRE, and then Jesús pickup up a fat envelope at a
Delagado's office and inside was all my paperwork. He forged my firma.

Hello,
Just wondering...
What is the reasons that one would choose to be a resident or even a citizen in Mexico instead of the US? Is it mostly about land ownership? Do you
then have to give up your US citizenship?
Thanks

After 10 years of fm3 and having a daughter born in Mexico I figured the whole family (not just my daughter) should have both. It took me 2.5 years
and my wife 1 year (we applied the same day). The SRE in Colima was very surly with gringos back then. It had nothing to do with land ownership. It
was more a matter of pride. We are glad we didn´t have to give up our US citizenship but I would have in a heartbeat. I´ve been living here for 16
years full time and don´t regret a second of it.
Now I get screwed by 2 governments
