I'm having a hard time finding information on dual citizenship that allows the couple [mexican / american] to be married in mexico, and the mexican can still apply for US citizenship.. is this possible?
I know this is kind of hard to understand but if you have any information that you think would help me, I'd really really appreciate it.. :] gracias

You have to file all the appropriate paperwork to first get a temporary green card. The paperwork costs about $400 to file and a few months to go through. But within a few weeks the spouse will get a temporary work permit, so I suggest if the Mexican spouse is able to get to the US during this waiting period, do so, because you are able to work and the more time you spend together before your interview, the stronger your case will be. And just a note: If your children are born in the US, they will be automatic US citizens, if they are born in Mexico, they will have to prove your citizenship and you will have to file (a small amount of) paperwork on them.

Unfortunately, simply marrying an American does not make you a citizen anymore. It is not that simple. The Mexican will still have to go through the entire process like everyone else... although your children WILL be American citizens. Contact your nearest immigration office for more information on how to proceed. Good luck!

You no longer get automatic American citizenship by marrying an American. It doesn't matter where you get married, you still need to go through the process like anyone else.

You apply for a K-1 visa for him. Once you file, he will do his part at the consulate in Mexico. After all the background checks are done and all your backup information is filed, he will be allowed to enter the country to marry within 90 days. After the marriage, you can file for an adjustment of status. He can stay in the country while that is processing.

If you get married to a american you can become a citizen in most cases.
