The only consequence of any significance is that you lose the protection of the US Consulate while in Mexico. Big loss. |
You pledge not to seek protection but retain your U.S. citizenship and passport. If push came to shove it would still be available.

What protection of US citizens has the consulate ever had the balls to pursue?
When did Mexico start listening to the American consulate?
Why are thet here except to be involved in US/MEX business dealings?

That's a U.S. chartered subsidiary, right?
I wouldn't direct deposit money to any Mexican bank.

Yes, It is named BBVA Bancomer
USA and you can withdraw pesos at the MX Bancommer ATM at the mid-market rate plus one percent to Visa who processes the International Debit card.
Seems like a good arangement. CaboRon

It happens. Not with the regularity that you or I would like but it does happen. Most often behind the scenes. Sometimes a congressman will see a
potential photo op and get involved. Sometimes it's the media. Other times a businessman will know someone who knows someone else...
Bottom line:
If I had dual citizenship and was under the gun I would trust my government over the Mexican justice system.
I know, I know...A tough call but...barely.

citizen.
Keep in mind, this was told to me by a real estate agent.

Full crap. I'm 100% rated and if there was any interference, I'd make a call. Interference gone.

So you have rescinded your US citizenship and have become a naturalized Mexican citizen? Otherwise, it's not exactly apples to apples here.

I have an FM3. I wouldn't rescind my US citizenship for anything.
I didn't see anything up there that mentioned naturalization.
