You can go here and find out the answer to any questions.

And remember laws change so asking on a forum will likely only get old news, not the current or new info.

That said, both you and he can be nationalized over time, you would need to follow the fm-2, 5 year plan, plus speak spanish and know the history and take exam, or you might qualify via the special contributor to culture and national contribution route which is similar though with less than 5 years. Or you could fly to DF with a bag of gold.

Your son will be eligible by marriage plus time in mexico with a fm-2 or possibly fm-3, language skills, history knowledge etc...

Here's is one lawyers listed requirements for nationalization by marriage (but its 2 years old old and likely out of date)

C. MEXICAN SPOUSE

In this case, the applicant must.

1. Evidence that the applicant’s spouse has Mexican nationality by origin or by naturalization by presenting (i) certified copy of the marriage certificate; (ii) original and copy of the spouse’s official Mexican ID and naturalization card or birth certificate. If the applicant was married to a Mexican citizen in another country, then the Marriage Certificate shall be recorded in the Mexican Civil Registry within the following 6 months to your marriage in able to obtain a Mexican Marriage Certificate.

2. Evidence that the applicant and his/her spouse have been married at least two years before filing the application. This must be proved with the Mexican Marriage Certificate and with an affidavit signed by the Mexican spouse.

3. Evidence that the applicant has lived in Mexico for at least 24 months, legally and continuously with a FM-3 or a FM-2. You may not be out of the Country for more than 180 days of the 24 months immediately prior to filing for the application.

4. Complete and sign the application form, including his personal data.

5. Submit his original FM-3 or FM-2, which must be current for at least six months before submitting your application (e.g. if you apply for citizenship on January 1, your FM must be valid at least until July 1). The Authority inspects the original and keeps only a copy.

6. List all entries and exits from Mexico during the 24 months prior to the date of application.

7. Present original and current foreign passport and copies thereof (the original is inspected and only copy is kept by the Authority).

8. Present two color and passport-sized photos. No glasses or hats may be worn.

9. Pay a filing fee: of $1,130.00 pesos (approximately $100 US dollars)

10. Evidence that you can speak Spanish, that you know Mexican history and that you are integrated into the national culture, and for this you must take and pass a test applied by the Institute“Matias Romero” of the Foreign Affairs Department.

Has anyone here fulfilled the two-year residency requirement for a direct descendant and received citizenship/inmigrado status?
Thanks for any info.
