I wish! I found the questions on line...all in spanish, of course, but haven't had time to translate them all, find the answers...and then translate
that back into Spanish ..just not enough time! If you find such a thing please
post it here for those of us who need to study! Let us know how the nationalization process goes for you.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

I took the test a couple years ago and my study sheet only had about 50 questions...of course in spanish because the test is in spanish. I studied
like mad and had them all down...but they slipped one in on me that wasnt on the list...name 2 famous mexican authors...the 2 I put down werent famous
enough I guess but that was my only wrong answer.
the most difficult thing for me to learn was the first 3 stanzas of the national anthem because they use old world words that arent used
anymore...kinda like reciting shakespeare in spanish.
There were only 5 questions on the test and I believe you could only get one wrong. The best part was going to DF and seeing the murals &
architecture...oh and getting my citizenship of course.
I highly recommend Gilberto Pinera to help you through the process...he's awesome and makes it go very smoothly and gets your passport lickety split.
He picks you up at the airport and you can even stay in a nice room in his house, he drives you around and just makes the process so much easier.
His office # is 555-529-8701 and tell him Shari from Bahia asuncion sent you.

HIMNO NACIONAL MEXICANO
CORO
Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
El acero aprestad y el bridon;
y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
Al sonoro rugir del canon.
Cina -oh patria! tus sienes de olivo
De la Paz el arcangel divino,
Que en el cielo tu eterno destino
Por el dedo de Dios se escribio.
Mas si osare un extrano enemigo
Profanar con su planta tu suelo,
Piensa -oh patria querida! que el cielo
Un soldado en cada hijo te dio.
CORO
II
-Guerra, guerra sin tregua al que intente
De la patria manchar los blasones!
-Guerra, guerra! Los patrios pendones
En las olas de sangre empapad.
-Guerra, guerra! En el monte, en el valle
Los canones horrisonos truenen
Y los ecos sonoros resuenen
Con las voces de -Union! -Libertad!
CORO
III
Antes, patria, que inermes tus hijos
Bajo el yugo su cuello dobleguen,
Tus campinas con sangre se rieguen,
Sobre sangre se estampe su pie.
Y tus templos, palacios y torres
Se derrumben con horrido estruendo,
Y sus ruinas existan diciendo:
De mil heroes la patria aqui fue.
CORO
IV
-Patria! -patria! Tus hijos te juran
Exhalar en tus aras su aliento,
Si el clarin con su belico acento
Los convoca a lidiar con valor.
-Para ti las guirnaldas de oliva!
-Un recuerdo para ellos de gloria!
-Un laurel para ti de victoria!
-Un sepulcro para ellos de honor!
CORO
Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
El acero aprestad y el bridon,
y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
Al sonoro rugir del canon.
English:
CHORUS
Mexicans, at the cry of battle
lend your swords and bridle;
and let the earth tremble at its center
upon the roar of the cannon.
Your forehead shall be girded, oh fatherland, with olive garlands
by the divine archangel of peace,
For in heaven your eternal destiny
has been written by the hand of God.
But should a foreign enemy
Profane your land with his sole,
Think, beloved fatherland, that heaven
gave you a soldier in each son.
CHORUS
II
War, war without truce against who would attempt
to blemish the honor of the fatherland!
War, war! The patriotic banners
saturate in waves of blood.
War, war! On the mount, in the vale
The terrifying cannon thunder
and the echoes nobly resound
to the cries of union! liberty!
CHORUS
III
Fatherland, before your children become unarmed
Beneath the yoke their necks in sway,
May your countryside be watered with blood,
On blood their feet trample.
And may your temples, palaces and towers
crumble in horrid crash,
and their ruins exist saying:
The fatherland was made of one thousand heroes here.
CHORUS
IV
Fatherland, fatherland, your children swear
to exhale their breath in your cause,
If the bugle in its belligerent tone
should call upon them to struggle with bravery.
For you the olive garlands!
For them a memory of glory!
For you a laurel of victory!
For them a tomb of honor!

I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed studying this ... I feel like I am so dumb for not reading up on this earlier ... it is VERY interesting.
And just to let you all know, if anyone comes from a LATIN country, the wait is only 2 years with an FM2 !!
and, if you are very involved in the community and can prove it, you apply under different rules and regualtions. (I am NOT doing this, just wanted to
inform you all)
It is all interesting stuff I am learning, I must say !!! 
Edited to correct spelling mistakes. I am always in such a hurry to type and end up with typos, desculpenme !!

OK Shari, I give up
What does 'DK" stand for?
I was told the rules for 65+ years old are different than if you are under 65 years old. Does anyone know about this? I was told that you only have
an FM@ for 2 years if you are over 65.
See you next month,

My husband is 63 and the person who helps us with our immigration told us that he can have his FM2 for 2 years and then apply for citizenship
WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE THE TEST!!! Since I am younger than him I will have to take the test or wait for a long time to be a citizen.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

DK ???? DF maybe ???? which means the capital or Distrito Federal
If you are 60 or older, you do not have to take the test. My husband will NOT have to take the test BUT you do have to go to an interview and be
fluent in Spanish ... so I was told ... maybe someone else can comment on this ?
