They would qualify. I am in Ohio, though, and there are few hispanic women here. Sheesh, I just thought it'd be nice to meet a Mexican woman as a penpal. And if you're implying that I'm desperate, thus I want to meet a woman who wants to immigrate to the USA, that's incorrect. I am not desperate and can easily get women here. I am handsome (so I am told), fit, and make a comfortable living.

So much cynicism these days. I wouldn't mind if she's a Mexican-American or 2nd or 3rd gen even. But even if I did limit my preference to a Mexican woman, what's wrong with helping to give someone a better life, who wants one?

Yeah, there is a scent of a troll -- you. One way to be a troll is to accuse someone of being a troll if you don't like what they are saying.

What's the best way for an American man to meet a Mexican woman? I couldn't find any good penpal websites.

Really? I'm surprised that after all this time you've come back to MexConnect. Since you're obviously not a troll and are just looking for a little help, here you go.

There's this one:

http://www.singlepenpals.com/...pen-pals-dating.html

And this one:

http://www.singledating.com/...can-woman-women.html

And this one:

http://www.penpalsfree.com/mexican-pen-pals.html

And about 3,000 others depending upon what words you put into your search engine of choice. Since you're not a troll, you should do very well and I wish you the best of luck meeting the perfect woman.

I'm not implying that *you* are desperate or anything else but overall my observations and experiences (two known cases) with guys essentially seeking "mail order brides" are almost universally bad. Too many of the gals are just seeking a green card and two many of the guys are Captain Savaho wanting to rescue a fair maiden from an impoverished hellhole in return for undying loyalty and the "perfect" wife in the kitchen and bedroom. And that fair maiden is usually much younger and prettier.

I am probably biased. The two cases I've "known" were older men who "rescued" much younger Filipina girls and basically treated as house slaves and I suspect sex slaves while they ran around with impunity because the women dared not protest lest they be send packing back home. Guess where I knew them from? They went to my church.

I'm not saying that is you, but a legal Mexican woman already in the U.S. would solve so many problems with regards to immigration (not as easy as you might think) and family and language (probably she speaks English) as well as reducing the likelihood of the above horrors of indentured servitude. Plus you would know she is with you because she "wants" to be with you not because she "needs" you. I'm glad to hear that such a woman fits the bill.

Well said. It's the person not the nationality,race, culture or whatever. If you are lucky enough to find a quality person who you can be compatible with,no matter what nationality, grab her fast before someone else does.

Becoming a legal resident of The US is not easy or a quick process usually. Contrary to popular belief, being married to a citizen of The US does not confer the right to enter, or live in The US automatically. A visa or a Permanent Residency Card, commonly called a Green Card, must be applied for, and granted, a process that usually takes several years. Most visa applications are routinely denied several times. Until recently, the visa application fees were forfeited, and another fee had to be paid with every new application.

I was lucky enough to meet my late Mexican wife in Alaska, she was visiting an uncle up there, she had entered The US legally on a visa. When we first decided to be married, one of the first things she told me was that she did not want to become a US citizen, an she did not want to spend the rest of her life in America, that is why I am now living in Mexico. Her father was an American, but her birth had not been registered with The US Embassy in Mexico City, her hometown.

The US Immigration service told me that since she had entered The US legally with a Visa, that she could remain in the US while her Permanent Residency Card (Green card) was being processed, if she had not entered The US legally, she would need to return to her home country until her Green card was issued, usually a very time consuming process. Laws and regulations change over time, the process may be different now.

We received my wife's Green card in about one month, and a non-working Social Security number for her about one month later. The Social Security number is usually important to get a US drivers license, to be a joint owner of a bank account, insurance policies, etc.

IF a Mexican citizen is already in The US legally, it is much simpler to be a married couple in The US. We continued to live in Alaska until my retirement. Being in The US legally is the key. If a person marries a Mexican citizen in Mexico with the intention to live in The US, it will usually be a very time consuming process to move the new spouse there.

Not only can it be difficult and time consuming, it may even be impossible in some cases. One had better know whom they are marrying. If the person has a criminal record or has been previously deported and under an immigration bar, game over. Marriage provides no exception to someone who is inadmissible.
