If you marry a Mexican citizen, can you become a permanent resident of Mexico?

Yes, you need to fill the form FM4 and it is actually a good idea for retirement, because Mexico doesn't tax you in capital gains nor in interests and dividends, that is going to constitute most of your income when you retire.

If he married you, and you are a US citizen, then he can get a green card and stay legally.  I'm confused why he doesn't want to do that?\nHe does not have to apply for citizenship.  With your marriage he becomes a "Permanent Resident" as long as he applies, and YOU sponsor him on the application.  He stays  a citizen of his original country, and can travel back and forth as much as he wants.  He will also be able to work legally at any US company.\nThe process can be long, and you have to go to an interview with immigration services, and show in good faith that your marriage is real.  There are fees of a few hundred dollars.\nAgain, you have to ask him why does he not want that?\n\nedit; lsacha1 is correct, HOW he originally came here makes a big difference.  Consult an immigration attorney before taking any steps, and before either of you travels outside the country.\n\nedit; then tell him it's something you want to do for him.  What if he gets deported, how would he feel then?  Once that is on his record, there's no coming back.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov

she will have to divorce. Their marriage is legal as long as they married "de civil" by the law. Alot of couples from mexico may say "mi esposo/esposa" (my husband or wife) and that they are married, when they are only living together. Make sure that they are actually married. If they are by the law in Mexico, they will need to divorse, otherwise they cannot think about getting their papers here.

well there is many problems in marrying an illegal alien first to get a marriage license legally would be imposable because of his legally status now you could get a fraudulent marriage license but that would make the wedding void in the eye of the state and the Federal government now in the eye of god that is another story but implication on you do not Begin until he tries to apply for perment residents in the country then based apon the marage then you start to have a problem because the weding is fedduling on his behalf

Every year thousands of American citizens marry foreign-born persons and petition for them to obtain a permanent residency (Green Card) in the United States. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered "immediate relatives" under immigration laws, therefore they are excluded from all numerical quota limitations. This means that there is an unlimited number of Green Cards available to foreign nationals who marry U.S. citizens. The process of completing and submitting a request for a Green Card through marriage to a United States citizen can be both costly and confusing. The "Green Card through Marriage Information and Application" package is a step-by-step immigration guide to help you file your Green Card application as efficiently and quickly as possible \n\nYou can order the application at the link provided

First you have to get her a K-1 Fiance Visa, whith which she can enter the country.  Then you have to marry her, and apply to adjust her status to permanent resident.  You must remain married for at least 2 years otherwise she will lose her legal status.\nUsually it takes about 6 months to 1 year to adjust status and receive permanent residency.

Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and enjoy all the rights, duties, privileges, and responsibilities as any other US Citizen.\n\nIf you married one, your status would be the same as if you married any other US Citizen.  If you had no disqualifying aspects (serious criminal history, prostitution experience, etc.) you  could get a K visa first and apply for a conditional resident status (then you can get an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), and then a Permanent Resident Status.  This takes over 2 years.\n\nOnce you got your permanent resident status (Green Card) then you can get divorced and bring in your other wife or girlfriend.  Of course you will go through a nasty divorce and your exwife (who thought it was true love or true money) will make your life as full of misery as she can.  If she "rats you out" to immigration that the marriage was all a scam, then there would be a hearing and you could lost your Green Card and be deported with a permanent bar to re-entry.\n\nAfter five years you could apply for US Citizenship.  After getting your citizenship, then it is safe to divorce her, because you can only lose your citizenship if the government can prove fraud on your application (i.e. lied about being a Nazi guard at a death camp).\n\nOf course you will have ruined her life and that of any off spring that you may have (if she did not do it for money, then she will have kids to further trap you).\n\nAnd then there are her brothers that you will have to deal with.....

The Mexican Consulate. In order to have dual citizenship you must have been born in Mexico, and then become a naturalized citizen. It is not a rare request and they do offer it after paying fees and providing the required Documentation. Is this so you can vote in Mexico?\nThere may be other ways to gain dual citizenship, such as generation clauses, but you would have to investigate that further.

You can marry anyone you like, anytime you like.\nGetting a permanent residence visa has nothing to do with that.

Get married, then he can apply for residency.  When you go through the process there is several things you will need to get in order.  \n\nSince you are sponsoring him, you need to show proof of employment for three years.  They will ask you for the last three income tax returns.  This is to show you are able to support him.  I am not sure, because I don't remember since it has been a couple years, but I believe there is an income limit.  You have to make something like 15k or more a year.  \n\nAlso, once you legally get married and he receives his green card, he cannot leave the US.  If he does during that period he will not be allow to return back to the US, they don't tell you this!.  Sure make sure he doesn't travel back to Mexico during this time.  \n\nIf he must leave the country because of an emergency he will have to obtain special permission from INS.  The whole process will cost you about $2,500 and this is without using an attorney but doing it yourself.   \n\nI hope this helps. Good luck\n\nThis is for all the people who are judgmental due to this poor girls predicament,  show some humanity, as if you NEVER made a mistake, give me a break.....

There are several ways to obtain permanent residency, or a "green card" as it is popularly known. Most green card holders are those that have obtained jobs in the US and whose employers are sponsoring them; this is the surest way of securing permanent residency in the US. Another way is for a relative to sponsor you for a green card; however, this process takes years. Alternatively, you can marry an American citizen, although doing so for the sole purpose of obtaining immigration papers is illegal. Also, you can enter the annual diversity lottery program administered by the U.S. government, which provides green cards to nationals from particular underrepresented countries, provided they meet certain criteria for education and national origin (yes, Indonesia is eligible).

Not so,Mr.Tiggleman\nIf you marry an American you get a green card which allows you to work in the states.\nAfter 3 years you can become a citizen,unlike 5 years for unmarried immigrants.\nWhen you have become a citizen , only then are you eligible for a passport.
