moving to mexico info needed please?

Well, I'm married to a Mexican, and have one son with him. We will be moving to Hidalgo, Mexico in the next year to start his paper work for him to be legal in the US. My husband told me Jalisco, Mexico is a great place to live, and for the house you said that you two have built, I'M sure its going to be great for you and your family. Its a lot cheaper to build a house there than it is in the US. Also you need to get your passport and your baby's as soon as he or she is born. It will be good to get married down there! "weddings are so much prettier I'm Mexico", my son and I are going in August to a wedding in Mexico and I cant wait! If you want to get legal down there mack sure you ask to have both nationalities or you will become a citizen there and no longer one here in the US. Good luck to you and have fun learning Spanish. I only know enough to talk to my husbands family when they come here in the summer and Christmas to visit, so I have lots to practice as well.

You are brave to post this question here. I would give birth to the baby in the US to ensure it has US citizenship and the right to enter, then go back to Mexico if you wish. If that's not possible, do your paperwork before the child is 18 to ensure they can get US citizenship. From what I understand, it is actually quite difficult to get Mexican citizenship, even if you are married. Not as bad as here though. You may not be able to work down there, there are laws aginst foreingers working (not that there is much work in some parts anyways). Also, be prepared for the culture shock, I think Mexican culture is more macho and chauvanistic than here. Attitudes towards women and women's rights are several decades behind the US IMHO. I'm not just saying this to scare or upset you, it's just the truth, I have dated and am currently with a Mexican and these culture issues come up all the time. What else, keep in touch with your friends and family, learn where the US Embassies are, save up some money just in case. Learning Spainsh is a step in the right direction, communication is important for relationships. Good luck to you!

Hi we are french immigrants living in Mexico. We know its hard to leave your home specially when you feel you are moving based on your relationship with someone else. Let me just tell you that it aint easy, but nothing in this life is. Mexico can either be heaven or the worst hell imaginable, it all depends on how open you are to a different culture, its not any better or worst than french or american culture, its just different. (I found out mexican people are extremely warm, and lets face it, living in a country where you can do ANYTHING you like its awsomem, not even in the USA you have so much liberty). Let me just give you 5 advices:

A) Mexican people hate it when you make them feel they live in a third world country. Its called Malinchismo and its punishable by death.... well, not really.

B)Anything can be bought in Mexico, and I mean ANYTHING, even the law. Make sure you have the money to back up your actions.

C)Our embasy was amazing with us when we first moved to Mexico, your embasy will let you know if you need anything. ALLWAYS KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR EMBASY.

D) There arent any more Aztecs left in Mexico, everyone is Mestizo, and its ALLWAYS helpful to keep your 2 nationalities. That includes your children.

E) You will NEVER be mexican, and people will never treat you like one. Never forget you are American, because even if mexican people can treat you nicely, they will never treat you like they would an other mexican.

Well, good luck and i hope you have a long and happy marriage.

I've been to Jalisco, it's beautiful and the people were really nice. You and your child can become dual citizens fairly easily. Your husband will just have to petition you and turn in the paperwork. It will be easier for you all living in Mexico than it is here. Good luck!

Just one question, have you being to Mexico and have you seen the house ? If everything is legit, there is no problem just make sure it is. Good luck and wish you the best. Always leave a door open if thing go wrong, you could come back to us. Good luck.!

My friend, you saw the house, what in a picture? Talked to the family, what? by phone, Look the other day I saw a documentary about white slaves being trick into coming to foreign countries and then turn into prostitutes. I'm not saying this is the case I just want you to be careful and don't take chances. Be very careful and if you want to go, go just to visit and with someone you trust. If you want you could write me and we could talk .. Just be careful, things don't really are the way you see them. There is a lot of bad people in this world and they look like lambs, until they get what they want. Hey, I don't know you but I don't want nothing wrong happening to you. Be careful, please.

A friend,

Wish you the Best, you are a Brave Young Woman, if you ,

have a good income , life will be pretty normal, Their social

structure is quit different, than what we here in America are

used to. Be sure you understand the law, and Good Luck.

Why bother with a visa, the Mexicans don't. Just drive, don't stop at the border and keep on rolling across the desert. Before you know it you'll be on the beach with a Margarita. Oh, that's right, the Mexican government hunts down illegal aliens and jails them. Hmmm, if only the U.S. government knew this and....

I think it's great, u are gonna love Mexico!!!

The only thing is that maybe it would be better for your baby if he/she is born in the us, u gotta check that first.

I live in Jalisco, are u moving to Guadalajara?, if it is so, email me, I'll help u in everything I can.

P.S. *whispering* Don't listen to the Frenchie, we love immigrants.

I understand that your baby will be a dual citizen under Mexican law, if his father is a citizen. Also, while most visas are harder to get to Mexico, the spouse one reads fairly straightforward. I strongly recommend that you check with the US or Mexican consulate, however.

Get vaccinated and get use to him cheating on you since guess what all the men upped and left Mexico for the US and their's alot of single horny women out there. You won't compete. I'm sorry.
