"She wants to cooperate because she has nothing to hide," local newspaper Reforma quoted her father, Eric del Castillo, as saying in its Wednesday edition. "She will present herself at the consulate in Los Angeles. She has proof ... she is clean."
There was not yet a date set for her to appear at the consulate, he added.
An official at the attorney general's office said on Monday she would be questioned by authorities next week.

The Mexican government has said a meeting between the actress, who played a drug boss in the television series "La Reina del Sur", Oscar-winning actor Penn and Guzman was essential to the kingpin's recapture earlier this month.
Penn last week rejected that claim, saying the Mexican government was trying to put him in the crosshairs of Guzman's feared Sinaloa cartel.
