Citizenship facilitator recommendation?
Has anyone gotten Mexican citizenship lately? Can anyone recommend a facilitator? I've given up on Gilberto Pineda in Mexico City. He has copies of
all my papers, but has stopped answering my emails, so it looks like I will need to start over with someone else.

I'll vouch for the Paper Chase, no drama, no games, they are a joy to deal with, if nothing else you will get an honest assessment of what it will
take to get your citizenship.

How bizarre, it takes a couple days as he is very busy but he always answers my emails!
I will write and recommend he get a secretary to be faster!

Find out who is your areas link to the Secretaria de Relaciones Exterior. Some excellent books for the test are ordinary Primera and secondaria school
books dealing with history, and gobernacion.

The best? not if you have to go elsewhere after giving up!
Marla - how much money did he get from you up front?
I know someone else who is having problems with him (although to be fair - both parties fault).

Gilberto Pineda received copies of my birth certificate, passport, FM3 and FM2 history, and Residente Permanente card. He was responsive
earlier in the year. His last email response of August 7 said:
HOLA MARLA, ESTOY ASIENDO UNA REVICION Y QUE ME AUTORICEN LA RECEPCION POR LOS CAMBIOS QUE A ABIDO LE CONTESTO CON CALMA MAS TARDE POR FAVOR.
Translation is awkward, even for a Spanish speaking native. However I have had no response to multiple emails since Aug. 7. This is where it was left.
He requested no upfront funds.
I have emailed the suggested La Paz business and am awaiting a response. Also, it is my understanding those over 60 have no history test requirement.

Interesting, the SRE gave me a test in 2010. Also tested gobernacion the supreme court, and the ^&^%$%! names of los niños heroes de castillo
chapultepec.

As I understand it (and confirmed a year ago with Mr Pineda) , (currently) no test required for those over 60.

Marla - I've had the same experience with Gilberto Pineda and have pretty much given up too.

He never answered even one of the multiple emails I sent. Granted I do not speak Spanish like a native, but he could have at least told me that he
could not help me.
Paper Chase, eh?

He insisted on talking to me in Spanish. (by the way, I understand he speaks English).

Was wondering...If the laws change on property ownership, are you still going to pursue citizenship?

It means he is making some changes and that he is waiting for them to authorize the changes he has made and will answer you later and to be patient.
I would go right to Immigration. You need to go and ask if he did anything at all if not demand your money back. | Quote: | Originally posted by Marla Daily
