Thanks Jackolantern, that is exactly the question I was asking, and may very well be the path we take.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and input. You've all been very helpful. What I find intriguing about this situation is that it seems to not affect in any way the people who are falsifying marriages strictly for migration purposes, yet makes life terribly inconvenient for those who are...

TC, Thank you. Of course I'm looking for a certain answer, and I know that you all know our true intentions. Luckily for me, you all are not the USCIS, and I have tried not to include any personally identifying information. What I'm most curious about are the risks associated, and the...

Right. I know that. Everyone seems to be avoiding the question that I really want an answer to. What I'm looking for is a way to avoid long-term physical separation.

I agree, but the question is how do we go about it. I'm not a resident in Mexico, so I don't think DCF is an option, but if we file at the US consulate in Juarez while we are both in the US, and she attends the interview in Juarez as suggested by Jackolantern, are we looking for trouble?

So, suppose I file the I-130 while I am in the US and she is in Mexico, with the intention of doing our interview in Juarez. Would my wife not be able to come to the US with me on her tourist visa, while we are waiting for the immigration processes?

Interesting. This article seems to contradict your statement. nolo . com/legal-encyclopedia/how-file-green-card-application-29583 . html My wife has a tourist visa. Would she not then be able to legally enter the country and then apply to change her status? Applying for immigration status in...

Hey there, I'm a US citizen, and I recently married a Mexican citizen, here in Mexico. I was just offered a job in the US and I need to be there in two weeks. My wife has a valid US tourist visa. My question is, is she legally allowed to enter the country with the intention of getting her green...
