You can apply for an immigrant visa if you are both living in Mexico. If you are an American citizen permanently living in Mexico you can avoid part of the process and file directly with the US embassy or one of the US consulates in Mexico. This is called ';direct consular filing.';





If you are just temporarily living in Mexico (not a permanent Mexican resident) you'll still have to file with the CIS in the United States based on your US address.





Once he gets his visa you'll both have to move to the United States and live here permanently.





You need to file form I-130 and G-325 with the CIS or embassy/consulate. You can find them and their instructions here....

It makes no difference where you got married. It's based on where you actually live at the time you file.

I think, they must be here and sign the papers, and take the oat.
It depends on if you are a US citizan. If you are, then it would prbably be easy to do. if not, no offense, but please stay in Mexico. We have a big immigration problem already.
I am a US citizen and I could not live in Mexico the entire time we were waiting. I was told I had to file in the states. I also had to come home to work to meet the income guidelines. Its a long process. Email me if you need some specifics.

Background





An immigrant is a foreign national who has been granted the privilege of living and working permanently in the United States. You must go through a multi-step process to become an immigrant. In most cases, USCIS must first approve an immigrant petition for you, usually filed by an employer or relative. Then, an immigrant visa number must be available to you, even if you are already in the United States. After that, if you are already in the United States, you may apply to adjust to permanent resident status (If you are outside the United States, you will be notified to go to the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing for an immigrant visa.)
Wow, another fraudulently marriage or a woman fooled by a foreignor who will use her to live her, then abandon her. When will men and women ever learn
