DENNIS...well that is a relief. I'm sure it's been covered but what are the main differences between Inmigrado and Naturalization? Also, if one isn't
living in baja but visits frequently is it worth it to get to this stage? I like the thought of not ever having to go through this visa hassle.

Without getting into the fine details of the difference, for which I would have to research so as to not sound like an idiot, it's a matter of
personal choice. I will be going for Inmigrado in a couple of years and that's where I'll stay. I want to continue to be a legal guest in Mexico and
have no desire to be a citizen or vote or any of those perks.
Others will see it differently for their personal reasons.
I suggest you talk with Sheri and keep in mind her reasons for taking the path she did.
Oh, yeah....it is worth it to advance to the ultimate stage of whichever route you want to take if for no other reason than to just get it over with.
It's a pain in the butt, this every year ordeal with all the mystery surrounding it.

Thank you all for letting me know the app had to be online! I don't get to go back to a condo in town to print things out......more like 30 miles of
bad road....each way. My wife and I are going in to Cabo on Monday. Trying to renew an FM3 and start an FM2. Hopefully we get Josie, the angel of the
office. I will report back. We usually have copies of copies of copies of stuff they have never asked for, but, if you know what they asked more
copies for?
Thanks

I've heard that you don't have to take the test after 60 or maybe 65 or you have to take it no matter how old you are. You (me too) need to find
someone who is well connected and up to speed to answer these and other questions. With the new regulations it will be a while before the dust settles
and things become clearer.

I think some are confusing Inmigrado with Naturalization. There is no test for Inmigrado...never has been. It's just another waiting game and a
fistfull of fun tickets.
I know people here who have Inmigrado who couldn't pass a test in Spanish if the only word was Margarita. No test. |
In re-reading my rambling reply I can see the confusion I caused. The 60 or 65 year thing has to do with the naturalization test, no test for
Immigrado. My understanding is that once you are cannonized with immigrado you don't have to come back to img. I assume that you can be in or out of
the country as long as you like after that. Does anybody know any different? My assumption is that if we reach the requirements of immigrado before
getting our citizenship we would just do that (immigrado). Any thoughts?....dt

You mentioned earlier the issues of property ownership and transfer. Inmigrado status won't help with that. You're still a foreigner and need the
fideicomiso unless you become a naturalized citizen.

Thanks Kate, that's good to know. I figure if I get 5 years down the road and still haven't been successful on Naturalization I'll give up and go
Immigrado.....dt

One of my principal reasons to become a Naturalized Citizen was I never ever, ever, ever want to deal with an Immigration Office adventure again, been
there, done that to many times. If you live and have property in Mexico, it is so worth the citizenship papers to protect your right to be here.
