144. Living in Mexico: How to Get Dual Citizenship as Mexican Americans

In this episode of the "Living in Mexico" series, I'm sitting down with my husband to talk about something so many of you have been asking about - how to get dual citizenship in Mexico! This has been our most-asked question since we shared our own journey to becoming dual citizens earlier this year. I'm walking you through our very different experiences. We're also getting real about the process, the paperwork mishaps, the differences between doing this in Mexico versus at the consulate, and why reclaiming this part of our heritage has been so meaningful for our family.
