    Question Mexican Minor Land Crossing

    I have done quite a bit of Google research, but it only applies to minor US citizens crossing the Mexican border, not Mexican citizens doing the same. If this is in the wrong forum, I'm sorry. This seemed to be the best fit for my question. Move the question if you must, but I really need an answer before the end of this Friday (July 31st), as she is set to fly out on August 1st.

    Here are the facts: Girl about to cross the border is 16. She is a Mexican citizen, but a permanent legal resident in the USA. She is currently in Mexico and about to travel back to the United States via car.

    Her parents are divorced. Her biological father lives in Mexico, and her mother lives in USA as a legal resident. The mother has remarried. The mother's husband / the girl's stepfather plans to drive across the border into Mexico, pick up the girl in question, and drive back to the USA.

    QUESTION BASED ON THIS INFORMATION: Assuming that the stepfather is considered to be a legal guardian to the girl, is he allowed to transport the girl from Mexico into the USA without notarized letter(s) signed by both parents?

    I want to hope that they can travel across without a problem, but I ask because I don't want her to be stuck at the border when all the girl wants to do is return home to the USA. Any help and source-backed information any of you can provide will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    You have provided nothing to suggest that the stepfather is the child's legal guardian.

    Custody and visitation are governed by, have you guessed it yet, the parents' custody and visitation order.

    Stepdad should not expect that he'll be able to snatch a child from Mexico and bring her back to the U.S. without the consent of her custodial parents. And from what you've told us elsewhere, neither parent supports the stepfather in this venture.

    Actually, this is the plan accepted by ALL parties involved. That means the stepfather, the biological father, and the biological mother. This is not "snatching" a child at all. That previous thread is not relevant to current events. I asked a plain and simple question. I don't think you answered this question, just assumed something based on a post made almost two months ago.

    This forum is insulting. I make my threads containing clear with relevant information and courteous language. Yet when people answer, the "help" I get is lacking relevant information and rife with preaching. More law, less preaching. Here is the truth of the matter: You can't hope to understand every personal detail about this situation. Bringing up an old topic and assuming it is 100% relevant to the stepfather is hasty and careless. This topic has to do with Mexican citizenship and US border crossing law, not just custody and visitation which would be in the hands of Mexico, not the US.

    She actually leaves on her plane in an hour or two, and I'm worried that she will be unable to cross the border. Unfortunately, it is too late to get help from this topic, so it make be closed. Or answered properly for other people's reference.

    If you want information on your schedule, it would behoove you to PAY for such service.

    The people here are volunteers who may or may not have the hours and hours required to find your obscure bit of information. Next time, take it to the pros in a timely fashion.
