Good point, Dennis. More on citizenship.

Why don't you move this over to Amir's thread ---- "IM Back"--- and give this thread back to the rightful owner? |
In a last ditch attempt to revive the original thread, let me write this first. Think this thread had a good life and became something else. No
one wanted to discuss citizenship anymore. That's fine. Let me sum up what the options are, generally, for citizenship in BCS.
You need a FM3 for 5 years to qualify for application for MX National citizenship. Not sure about other Visa status' requirements. No short cut
to this unless you did something extraordinary -- huge donation, charitable work, et., have government connections -- almost same as up North,
probably
I know application can be submitted in La Paz where I'm told they test. It's a good idea to know enough Spanish to converse on some level with the
people in the office. Someone I know got his citizenship there 1.5 years ago and said he was NOT tested. He said he chit-chatted with the
Director of the place and that was it. No MX anthem test, history test, nothing. (If you were to apply here, you should know Spanish, know MX
history and words for the MX anthem song.)
I've written this before. A different person I know in La Paz (full time 7 years) filed with an attorney in Mexico City. The attorney fees cost
$2,000 which was a substantial discount. This person flew to MC for the initial ''filing'' and then a 2nd time for the ''final paperwork." Think
it took about a year. No test, again, chit-chat with the people and out the door. About 45 minutes.
2 people above are US citizens and full time in BCS. Re FM3 status: I'm told immigration can turn down your application if it is noted in your
FM3 book that you have spent large amounts of time outside the US in the 4th and 5th years. I haven't heard of anyone being turned down.
I'm going to Mexico City in about 4.5 years for mine.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

CaboRon, don't worry about your name, it's pronounced differently than the Spanish word "cabron". That middle "o" in your name changes the word to
three syllables instead of two, and in Spanish there is a heavy accent or emphasis on the last syllable. In your name, if anything, the accent is on
the first syllable. Some people may still tease you, but then they would still call you cabron even if your name was "Thadeus", or whatever. Anyway,
that word is used a lot, and it is a common insult, and I've heard conversations where that word is used several times in each sentence. It means
"bastard", or "b-tch" in the femenine, and it can have many nuasances of meaning; it could even be endearing between good friends. I guess it depends
on the tone and context in which you use it. If you pronounce "CaboRon" and "cabron" clearly, they are different words.
Did you get that, cabron?

Does everybody still see this as, just a coincidence?

Yeah ---
You said that a long time ago but, when I got out of it, you kept on.
So, what is it? I quit--you don't?

Letter of Good Citizenship

It is becomming more interesting each min.... In Orange county they asked for three bank statements showing one thousand dollers deposited each month;
but, the statements should not be for the previous months, instead they want three statements from the previous year. Evidently they want a
representitive sample. Also when I went to the local police to get my letter this morning...I was given the form and told I must have a letter from
the MX Cosul requesting the letter from the police dept. I can now see that the merry-go-round is just beginning. Appreciate the info. Ron |
.. I almost laughed,
however better sense prevailed and I said thank you and left.... I did NOT go back to the Consul's office .... but went back to Anaheim on Thursday
and low and behold they accepted it , only a small snag, The original form had been a copy of a form, so I copied it and filled out my copy of
their copy ... this apparently did not make the officer happy as I had not filled out the "official" form .. this time I did laugh and said the
"official" form was just a Xerox copy itself  .......so, after
filling out the new blank "official form" that was presented to me, he took my money, my thumbprint, and informed the letter would be sent in a few
weeks -- different guy -- different answer -- Is the same here as in Mexico, no ? Funny , how that works ... just another day in the maze ....
although there is daylight ahead ... Have a smooth day ! CaboRon
