Dave - you are probably right, but my FM3s have long since and very happily vanished into the depths of the Dept of Foreign Affairs . . . I just
remember the panic when I realize Immigration now had my old FM3 and the easiest legal proof of tenure.

Can you apply for citizenship after holding an FM-3 for five years, or must you do another 5 with an FM-2? And what exactly is "immigrado" status?

Bajamigo,,
From what I have been able to learn about Inmigrado is that you have all the rights of a Mexican National except the right to vote. One other thing
if you have Inmigrado status you cannot drive a foreign plated car, it can be confiscated. But if you have had the vehicle for the last five years you
can petition the Gov. to use the car with foreign plates.

Wife and I are inmigrados. True what Comitan states, but also includes, besides the unability to vote, the "NO" owning property outright . So, still
need a fideo, no matter what. We were not properly informed.
Blessed be the flexible for they shall not bend out of shape.

Canadian Mexican Citizenship
There is no problem with Canadian citizenship and Mexican. Canada like most countries of the world allows this and there is no requirement to file
tax returns in Canada when you are a non-resident. She can come back to Canada whenever she wants no problema. The US is literally the only major
country in the world that taxes its citizens regardless of where they reside. So you always have that tax return to file, even if you have no taxes
that might be payable in the US.
Hope it comes through for you Shari.

You are most correct Edinnopolo, As an Inmigrado, you still can't own property or vote and you are still required to report to Immigration all changes
in your life, such as if you move, change jobs, do volunteer work, etc.
Still, with the Inmigrado status you are one step closer to becoming Nacionalizado as a Citizen if that is your desire to do so. Upon becoming
naturalized, you have all rights as a Mexican except I don't think you can run for a political office.

The reason you can't run for political office- at least for some of them- is that the office requires that the candidate be a Mexican citizen by
birth. No naturalization allowed.

Just in case anyone is interested, the process to naturalize has changed a bit. I heard stories about having to complete a 50 question test and sing
the National Anthem of Mexico. Maybe so in La Paz (where they have always been a pain in the posterior) but not in DF. You are not given a Spanish
speaking test but you need to know some Spanish just to complete the process. You are given a test consisting of five written questions (in Spanish,
of course) that deal with the history, ecology, geography, culture, etc. of Mexico. Study things like where the Monarch butterflies are from, where
the pyramids are located, they type of government Mexico has, who the President is, countries to the north and south of Mexico, etc.
It's not difficult... just the usual red tape. An attorney is a definite asset!!!

Mexrick nailed it - avoid the La Paz office if you possibly can!
DF is where everything is done anyway - the place to go for minimum hassle, greater speed of processing.
