Hello Peter:
I'm a U.S. male citizen who married a Mexican single mom. The child is a U.S. citizen as well. We're in the process of getting my wife a green card. Because of my job in L.A., and because my wife's business interests are in Mexico, we have a commuter marriage. She intends to stay in Mexico until we're empty nesters. Will that be a problem in the interview when getting her green card?
Thanks much
- proberts 9y agoYou might have to do some explaining but in my experience, when a marriage is legitimate, even if the couple is living apart, the green card application always gets approved.
- apsychas 9y agoWouldn't the wife have to move to the US within six months once she's approved for the green card?
- wesleyd 9y agoI recently learned about "commuter" green cards, which let folk live in Canada or Mexico: https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-11261/0-0-0-15844/0-0-0-15897.html https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0...
- proberts 9y agoThat's a good summary but essentially one needs to demonstrate frequent and regular trips to the US for employment to qualify.
- proberts 9y agoYes, assuming that she went the immigrant visa route through the US Embassy in Mexico rather than the adjustment route through USCIS.
