Jamie has no idea what she's talking about... Watches too much TV... And yes, any long stay requires an FM format from the Foreign Relations Secretariat... Go to a Consulate...

yes anything over 3 mths requires a visa

No you don't; since American citizens are eligible to stay for up to 180 days without a visa you may travel to Mexico for your exchange of 5 months if accepted by a Mexican authority. http://www.inm.gob.mx/EN/index.php?page/not_need_visa . Edit: based on additional details The same applies to Canadians; you should state a different citizenship from start if you ask travel questions in Y!A USA instead of Y!A Canada.

My girlfriend is trying to get a student visa but was rejected and now is stuck, how can she get back home?
My girlfriend is trying to get a student visa but was rejected and now is stuck, how can she get back home?
My girlfriend was going to go to a university in the states. She got accepted into the university but went down to Mexico to get her student visa and they rejected her. They said that she has to wait 2 years before she can try again. Now she is stuck in Mexico. Is there any way that she can appeal it or is there another option?? And no, we are not in the postion to get married.

There's no appeal. The US Consular Officer has wide latitude when it comes to these things. Why can't she apply for 2 years? That makes no sense unless there was some other underlaying problem such as illegally living in the United States.
2 :
If I'm reading between the lines correctly, your girlfriend was living in the states w/o a visa, returned to her native Mexico to get one and was refused. Obviously someone suspected that she was trying to immigrate (or trying to reenter legally) and put a hold on her visa. Graduating from a US high school may have been a red flag (I'm just guessing here). Any additional tries at visas will probably set off more alarms and result in an even longer waiting period. Her best bet would be to apply at a college in Mexico and try to transfer in two years.

Well, there's no visa ineligibility that expires after 2 years. It sounds like she was here illegally to begin with, however, that would mean either a 3 or 10 year period of ineligiblity, not 2. If she was simply rejected for a student visa, because for some reason they considered her an intending immigrant, under 214b, she could reapply tomorrow, even though she'd probably get the same answer. It seems you're only getting part of the answer here.

What is the best way to travel to Mexico for students trying to save money?
What is the best way to travel to Mexico for students trying to save money?
Coming from the Bay Area, either flying out of San Francisco or San Jose. Would like to be near the beach.

Go to San Diego. Take the trolley/cab to the border. Then take a Mexican taxi to the airport in Tijuana. Rent a car there with total insurance. You can drive to Cabo, or find little hideaway resorts on the way that only the locals know about. You will be driving a Mexican car with Mexican plates and insurance. Nobody will spot you as tourists and if anything happens to the car, call the number and they will send you a new one- no worries. Scan the area with Google Earth for ideas on where to go. That is a very inexpensive way to travel in Mexico.

Best place to stay in Mexico for a college student?
Best place to stay in Mexico for a college student?
I've been to Mexico 8 times; 7 in Playa Del Carmen, and once in Cabo San Lucas. All 8 times, I've gone with the family in 5 star all inclusive resorts. I like the weather and the atmosphere of Mexico, but am also considering Cuba. Is cuba nice or cheaper? What is the best place(city/town & resort) for a college student and her boyfriend to go? We're not exactly rich obviously.. so 5 star isn't really an option for us, but we def. want all inclusive. I know American's can't go there, I'm not American though.

the city of Guanajuato in the state of Guanajuato, is located in central mexico, there are plenty of museums and beautiful places to visit.

well i know nothing of cuba, but a really cool place in mexico is Sayulita, Nayarit. its just north of Vallarta. but instead of old retirees its a laid back, hash loving, surfer town. The food is a little pricey, but its pretty nice. The small villages around it make for great exploring too... Guanajuato's really nice too. Just a lot of beggars... and some of those tunnels smell like 300 year old human excrement.

i agree guanajuato or queretaro thats where i go when i go to mexico queretaro is located right next to guanajuato
