Congratulations Shari, when is the party in La Paz? we may be around for that. Oh yea, we met some friends of yours in San Ignacio the other night.
Isabella and Russ from Bahia Tortuga. I asked if they went on the Baja Nomads site, said they did not, but had heard about it from you! They are
taking care of the SI Springs, while the other couple are away. H.

Welcome Shari. All here in my country love it when someone from another country embrace us as you have. We are a big family and like most families
there is a little of everything. That includes its share of problems and misfits. But we also have a big heart and I welcome you into our family.

Shari, Congratulations from a citizen of the USA. A citizen of the USA? From the looks of things the USA is in trouble, sorta like a drifting ship with nobody
at the wheel.I don't blame anybody for jumping ship.

Paulina has been coming most of her life anFor those celebrating on this occasion that is very important to you. Felicidades!
I have been coming to MX since the 60's as a student from LB, Calif. I have been a resident now for over 12 years and understand dual citizenship for
a US citizen reguired's giving up your US citizenship? Currently I hold FM-2 status but question why one of another country would renounce that right?
why has she not done the same, when she loves Baja as much as she does? I have traveled the world and made Baja my home, but to renounce my US
citizenship is a most ponderable thought? Were you a US citizen, an if so, please share your happiness and reasons for such a transition, and I would
love to here Paulina, an educator, on her point of view?
possibly I should consider the benefits of such a transition?

Citizenship?
I have been coming to MX since the 60's as a student from LB, Calif. I have been a resident now for over 12 years and understand dual citizenship for
a US citizen reguired renouncing your citizenship, unless marriage to a Mexican citizen is involved. Currently I hold FM-2 status but question why one
of another country would renounce that right?
Paulina has been in Baja much of her life and I wonder why she has not done the same when sharing such exuberance, and love of Baja as much as she
does? I have traveled the world and made Baja my home, but to renounce my US citizenship is a most ponderable thought? Were you a US citizen, if so,
please share your happiness and reasons for such a transition, and I would love to hear Paulina, an educator, on her point of view possibly I should
consider the benefits of such a transition?

The topic of giving up your former citizenship has come up a few times. I have dual...Canadian and U.S. so I was curious about adding a third. This
is what I found documented on Bajainsider.
"Singing the national antem is NOT required. Furthemore, the initial exam composed of only 5 questions of which 4 must be answered correctly, is
verbal not written at the time of summitting the application; same process is done at the time the applicant receives the Naturalization and signs a
document which says he renounces to his previous nationality. This renouncement applies only when the person is in Mexico,in other words when one is
Naturalized one must indicate that he is Mexican while in Mexico. The new Mexican does not loose his former nationality unless his former country does
not recognize dual citizenship."

Bronco,
From what little I know from my personal experinse:
I have both U.S. and Mexican Passports. I was not required to relinquish my U.S. Citizenship when I Nationalized my status here to Mexican Citizen. It
was explained to me by my lawyer in Mexico City that when I cross into the U.S., I use my U.S. passport, and crossing into Mexico, my Mexican
passport. I have yet to travel North, but someday I am sure I will test this myself.
Also, I have the right to vote here in Mexico, I have a voter registration card which is a handy back up i.d.
I have not registered, nor voted in the U.S. for more than 40 years, so I have no experience to share on that issue.
My daughter, and both of my grandchildren are all dual citizens, she - US./Mex, the kids - Mex./U.S..
I have been told that You must request with the U.S. Consulate (I expect) in writing in order to relinquish your U.S. citizenshi

Renouncing
I know a Gringa in BCS who gave up her US citizenship -- there wasn't a big explanation from her as to why she did it either -- ''well, I'm feeling
Mexican and don't feel the need for a US citizenship'' -- something like that.
I'm still puzzled but guess she know's what she's doing.
