I would go right to Immigration. You need to go and ask if he did anything at all if not demand your money back. |
Why would she go to immigration? They have nothing to do with the citizenship process.

As I mentioned, he did not require any payment in advance. Anything
he has done thus far is without compensation. I am happy to pay for his services.

Not that anyone needs another hurdle but has this issue come up for any women applying for citizenship in the past month or so? This Mexico connect
forum thread from a few weeks ago (recent info) from women denied citizenship applications because of legal and birth name documents don't match
exactly. They report that SRE in Mexico City are not accepting the aclaración de nombre document (which clarifies your birth certificate name vs
married name on passports, Fm2/3 etc).
Not only would you have to change the name on your passport to match your birth certificate, but one person reported you have to reapply and get an
entire new Res Permanente/Fm2 in your birth name. (Then more documents to prove all your past years of Fm2s in your married name and the new one in
your birth name were all yours?) It will be interesting to see what happens with this.
Mex connect forum
Here's an exerpt:
"SRE has dug in its heels re a woman's citizenship application. They have said that all supporting documents must be in a woman's maiden name."
"My wife has done everything--every jot and tittle--required by law in applying for Mexican citizenship. Her application has been denied--i.e., NOT
ACCEPTED--and no letter has been offered as to why. A good friend of ours, who is a highly-placed lawyer WITHIN the SRE, tells us that the rules have
been changed and her application WILL NOT be accepted unless she legally changes her name on her birth certificate to the legal name that she has used
since 1968. He mentioned that she could apply under the name on her birth certificate--but of course she has none of the other required supporting
documents under that name.
... this is a new and different situation for women who are legally known by their husband's (or ex-husband's) last names. SRE and our lawyer friend
have told us that this is a recent change."

oh my gosh .... what a nightmare. This has to be the only country in the world that deals with women's names this way ????
I wrote to gilberto yesterday and he answered today, I needed a document from him which he will send. He did tell me that his SON is now learning the
ropes.
I mentioned that many were very unhappy with his lack of response to emails and that he needs a secretary right away. I won't recommend him any more
til you all have better things to sat about response time.
I will ask about the age requirement -
NB although you don't take the written history and cultural test, remember that they are going to ask you questions in conversation: what places have
you visited? and the answer can be a simple ME GUSTA LA BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR. why do you want to become a citizen? ME ENCANTA MEXICO Y LOS
MEXICANOS. what holidays have you participated in or know about? DIA DE LOS MUERTOS. DIA DE LA BANDERA. DIA DEL GRITO.
There are more if anyone is interested.

WOW! I actually got an email from Gilberto today!
He confirmed I do not have to take the test. He also said I need to wait until January [?] to have 5 years on my FM2 [?] although I
am already a residente permanente. I need to straighten this out. I the meantime my passport exipired and I need to get him a copy of my new one now
that he has answered. Thank you Baja Blanca for lighting the fire under him!

Ive seen the Secretaria de Relationes Exterior officina in La Paz but have yet to contact them. They are located on 5 de Febrero just past Fojadores.
This would be the office we residents of Baja Sur would deal with I think. |
Questions of anyone having recently obtained citizenship:
Must we hire a facilitator? I know it's not required by law to have a representative, so in other words, is the process truly so daunting that an
individual could not manage this themself?
Will we be required to travel to Mexico City or can this be processed at a satellite office?
Can you give us a breakdown of approximate costs?

I don't think you absolutely have to hire a facilitator, but the La Paz office has a terrible reputation for being very very slow. One of our
neighbors who started out there on her own got so tired of waiting, that she went to Gilberto in DF and had him finish the process for her.
