You need to be sure that you know what's going on politically and in terms of narco-traffic'ing in that area of Chiapas. It is a pretty wild state in some places. I'm not replying to help you there, since I don't know the area except in general terms. But when you move to Mexico, you will need to meet individual income requirements. A boyfriend won't help in that regard, Mexican or not. Plan on demonstrating $1,200 USD per month. If you don't have it, recognize that in most of Mexico, Immigration asks for three months recent checking account activity or evidence of substantial funds. If you have, say, over $5,000 USD in your checking account, then there doesn't have to have been any deposits nor withdrawals during the required three-month reporting period. If you have much less money to show them once a year for the previous three months (since you have to renew every year), you can roll over your money (called churning by some). You take the same dollars and withdraw them, then redeposit them in the same US account. This makes it look like you have income way over what you really do. $500 USD flowing through your checking account can become $2,000 USD with just a few transactions. They don't care how much you have in the account at the end of the month, they just care about cash flow, so seeing those few $500 USD deposits each month for three months leading up to your application for an FM3 will do the trick. You will do this most easily using a trusted friend in the US to take out, then redeposit your money. Don't be obvious in the way you do this. Vary the amounts withdrawn and deposited and the time intervals involved. It has worked for others to whom I have given this advice. We don't need to do this ourselves, since we easily meet the income requirements. Good luck! Que le vaya bien!
