I am a Mexican student, can I drive my mexican car in the US?

I am a Mexican student, can I drive my mexican car in the US?
I'm an exchange student and live in Mexico (near the border) and I'm wondering if I can take my car into the US for a few months. I have insurance and I'm the owner of the car. I do not want to import it as I will be returning in a few months and it seems pointless to buy a new car if I'm only staying a few months. I will be attending the University of Arizona in Tucson. I don't want to import the car (that means to make it American), I just want to use it for a few months with its mexica license plates. I have US insurance.

I don't know but that would be cool to see a Mexican car aroubd. Maybe you can since I always see cars with European license plates around. What school are you from?

wen my dad had his car in jamaica and decided to move to the us he had some trouble getting it here but since he worked for customs he got it through. i remember him teling me that he should have had to put it through inspections and maybe pay taxes on it or something so thats wut ik. i dont think its easy to get ur car in but then that was jamaica a couple years ago and the steering wheel was on the left so it might be different. good luck!

Yes you can travel in a Mexican Car any where in N. America. I've seen a few in Toronto !

I'm sure you can, but I don't think your Mexican insurance is valid here. I live in Arizona and my insurance is invalid in Mexico. I see cars with Sonora plates all the time. Please make sure whatever you do, you have valid insurance while in the US.

You better check with the Arizona DMV to be certain.

I am a university student at a school in San Antonio, Texas and I have a friend who is from Monterrey. His car has Nuevo Leon plates and he drives it in the states with no problem. As long as you have US insurance and you are a student, then you should be able to just keep your car registered in Mexico. I tried looking at the Arizona Department of Transportation website but they didn't have a specific answer for this. You might want to email the Arizona Department of Transportation to make 100% positive, but you should be fine.

You probably should go to a Mexican consulate and apply for a tourist visa. If you don't then when you land in Mexico you will have to go through immigration. The people there will issue a tourist visa upon entry maybe, but maybe not and then you will have to turn around and go back. So it is always best to apply for the tourist visa before you leave. That way when you go through immigration, you'll just show them your Trinidad passport and your visa and they'll let you in.

If you're illegal, why are you still here? You should have been deported. Just know that if you leave, you might not be able to cone back for a while and rightfully so.
2 :
Yes you could
3 :
Of course you can ..I dont know the work situation there but it can be no worse than the US There are some very excellent Unis in Mexico In the US deportation is the only thing to look forward too
4 :
You are a Mexican citizen. Given that your grades will qualify you for college, I don't see why not. The only problem I can foresee is that in order to be admitted to a college in Mexico you would have to present a copy of your high school transcripts and since those would be from the states, you may not be given the same status as a student who has lived and studied in Mexico, in other words, others may have admission priority over you. If you have a college in mind, I would contact them. As far as getting a good job, don't really know what your major would be and what the job market is like in Mexico, or will be like in four years, for your field of education. But if this is your goal then do what you think is best for you; do what you want to do. You are still very young and have plenty of time to chance course if something doesn't initially work out.
5 :
Yes, why wouldn't you? You have received a U.S education, you could go to college anywhere btw...even in the U.S but everything will be at your own cost. I'll admit to you I'm planning on moving there too. Good luck.
6 :
I was in a similar condition. I graduated from middle and high school in the US and even got accepted to the University of Florida engineering school, but then my visa expired and was not renewed. I got deported and I was able to get into college back in my homecountry after translating and authenticating my paperwork in the ministry of education. You country probably has a similar sistem for authenticating school transcripts.
7 :
That would be an excellent idea. If you leave the US before you are 18.5 years old your illegal stay won't be held against you. The government does recognize that as a minor you have to go where your parents go. You only become responsible for staying on illegally in the US when you turn 18. As I guess you know by now.
8 :
yes you could and actually I think you should... as an illegal there are no good options for you here... only picking up crops of washing dishes in a restaurant.. if you have goals in life pursue your dreams, since the dream act hasn't been passed here, you cannot become a resident here, which means even if you go to college you will no be able to get a job here, so just try your luck in your home country.
9 :
How many times are you going to ask this? Get out of this country, you are not welcome here.
10 :
I see you have asked this question before. Your High school transcript of all your studies will be in English. Hope that Mexico colleges can interpret it otherwise you will have difficulty. Good that you will be going home to Mexico. Even if you got into a college in the US, you can't be hired for a job when you graduate college in the US because they don't hire illegals. They do hire LEGAL immigrants only in the US for the GOOD jobs. If you insist on coming back to the US once you leave, please get your proper MEXICAN birth certificate, passport and ID, then apply for a visa to enter the US or else your life will be a struggle and you will always be looking over your shoulder at deportation.
11 :
yes and college is free there
12 :
Yes, as long as you leave before you turn 18 years and 6 months old.
13 :
You wouldn't be able to get a job in the US without a Social Security number. Unless you want to say, "Welcome to .... how can I help you." So you may as well go back to school in Mexico. If you stay in the US after 18 1/2, you will need a waiver to be able to re-enter the U.S. again in the future. If you depart prior to this date, you will no longer be subject to the bar of inadmissibility for acquiring unlawful presence in the U.S.

Diane-you have posted on here many times .And I have to say I wish someone like you could stay and get a higher education here in the states as it seems like you are a very upstanding person.But your parents did this horrible thing to you by bringing you here illegally.They are the blame for your problem not us Americans.and I sincerely hope that you can go back to Mexico get a great education and apply to come back here the legal way.And this is coming from someone that dislikes any illegal immigrant being here in this country.I would welcome you and would probably give you a job in our business as a legal immigrant.I feel bad for you but Im sorry honey you are illegal right now.Go to Mexico get an good education and come back to America legally, we will welcome you.Good luck
15 :
Yes, you can go to college here. Check with a Mexican consulate there near you and see if they can help you get papers translated, etc. Go ahead and contact Universities here and find out what they want to see. Brush up on your Spanish. The job market isn't great here, and women here are often discriminated against socially, but college-educated women (and men) who speak Spanish and English are usually well paid, unlike the rest of the people here.

Well, I'll say Japan because right now Mexico is pretty screwed up

Not sure what sort of exchange your going on, if it's an AFS-like thing or college. But go for what you like best. Keep in mind factors such as cultural differences (maybe you want something else, or maybe you're afraid that it might be too much), language, quality of education --if that matters. The easiest thing is to browse around on the web, to see what you like best. Maybe something else entirely. i don't know if you have unlimited possibilities, if the exchange will count towards your grades, etc. You'll have to decide. But ultimately, it really is not the place/country that makes the exchange, it's you.

What is the "racial composition" of students in Mexico's universities? I often hear those of predominant?
European ancestry are typically more wealthy and well of than their mixed and indigenous counterparts, so one could assume this status, assuming if it's true, would reflect onto Mexico's universities. So what will we typically find in Mexico's universities? Is their a greater amount of "White" or more European looking Mexicans compared to their respective population? Or are things even amount between the major groups? What about the indigenous population? Thanks.

This is probably the BEST question I have ever seen on Y/A. I wish I were better equipped to answer it...but I will do my best. I am sure it varies greatly in different parts of Mexico. Remember there are larger percentages of Mestizos and Indigenous peoples in southern Mexico than in Mexico City or the northern states. I live in the State of Veracruz, just a few miles from the huge University of Veracruz main campus in the capital city of Xalapa. I know several instructors and professors at the university. This location of the university is the largest of the 6 branches, has over 30,000 students, many from all over the world, and is known as an outstanding university all over the world. There are branches of the university in 5 other cities in the state...4 of them cities with a very small population of wealthier families. These towns are by far mostly populated by Mestizos. The state knocks itself out to make a university education available to ALL people in all locations...as it is very difficult for students to travel far from home to go to university and pay living expenses there. Getting in does not depend on income...it depends solely on academic achievement. I understand why you ask if Mexicans of more European heritage may be more prone to attend university...most likely because they are from families with more money. However, money is not a big issue for university in Mexico. There is no tuition. There are fees for classes... resource fees. materials fees, but usually the total cost is not more than a few hundred dollars ( or less) per semester...and there is aid for that for those who need it. The state seeks indigenous students and has special programs where needed. Mexico really is not nearly as "race conscious" as the U.S. Sure, there is some of that, but in Mexico...people are simply "Mexican." The University here sponsors the Slap Symphony..the best in Mexico and known all over the world. The orchestra is made up of Mexicans of all backgrounds as well as Americans and Europeans. Many also teach at the university. The Music Conservatory has students of all backgrounds. There is also a medical school and a school of dentistry. Through my work , I know many doctors and dentists who work, train, teach, and/or have graduated d here and definitely are NOT primarily of European heritage at all. Because the public schools are poor or absent over the 6th grade in many rural and remote areas, of course many kids from those areas do not attend university. In many places there simply is no school over the 6th grade and families must move for kids to attend school. Many middle and high school kids take public buses anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours each way every day to attend high school. The university system is good...the public school system is very weak in many areas. And of course, there is my "casual observation" of the university students at McDonalds, or in the mall, or walking about the campus definitely not predominently of European heritage....just regular Mexican kids. UNAM is the most prestigious university in Mexico and is in Mexico City. It would be interesting to hear from someone about UNAM. Edit: "Leopold " brought up excellent points. There are many private universities. Many young people who cannot make the academic cut at public universities, or are looking for a certain specialty, attend these and they are expensive...so probably weed out the poorer kids. And, there are many smaller minorities here. In Vearcruz especially, many people are of mixed European, Indigenous and black heritage. There are few black people, but many who are part black ( Yahoo forbids the use of the term that corresponds to Caucasian even tho it is scientifically correct and is used in Mexico). Many people from the Caribbean region and also slaves from the U.S. came here years ago.....just a little side info!
2 :
Well here is the view from another region and I would clarify there you could divide the universities into public and private, northern and southern. To the north of Mexico we have less ethnic groups. On private universities you would see a mixture of your suppose white and mestizo (half indigenous half european). There is indeed a low number of 100% indigenous population because of their rural nature, poor conditions or some other factors. But as the other answer says generally we in Mexico are not as self aware of race. Of course there are some people quite elitist and would seek to avoid people with slight darker skin. People take more into consideration the appearance, base on the clothes you ware and the taste you have. Also the money you have is taken to consideration. Also you are forgetting the people from African or Asian decent I personally had classmates from Japanese and Chinese descent. Who consider themselves as Mexican, not Mexican-chines or Mexican-Japanese as it would happen in the US

The best thing you should do is wait unless you come across a professional. Cause most of the foreigner(only the ones that are tourist scammer) just want to make a quick buck and your hair WILL fall out in a week. The best thing is to go on the internet and find someone with exp. in Mexico or any other country. Or wait till you go home.
2 :
just ask people at your school or your neibor hood if you see some one with braids
3 :
If there is any African population in your school (and I'm pretty sure there will be) someone in that group will already know who can get that done: whether it's a student or some location in the town.
