Living in Mexico while on H-1

Hi all,

I have a question, currently I live in the US with L1 Visa and I am transitioning to an H1 Visa. I have French and Mexican Nationality. Is it legal for me to be living in Mexico? (I know for Mexico it is since I have mexican citizenship) but I was wondering if I will have any issues with the US immigration if I am crossing the border every day to come to work or is it allowed while on H1 visa? Another question, my car has american license plates and I plan to keep them like that if I do move to Mexico, will that be a problem again for the US (at the border)? I know for Mexico it won't since my fiscal address (where I get paid) is in the US.

Bonus question, if I ever decide to start the GC process, would it be a problem to start it while living in Mexico or would I have to move to the US to start the process? I know there is a commuter GC but I don't exactly how that works.

Thanks!
