Hello Everyone,

My wife came here from China on a CR-1 visa and we are wanting to travel to Mexico and are wondering if theres a problem doing so? My wife has a Chinese passport with her CR-1 stamp inside will this be OK to travel to Mexico?

Thanks,

With a green card, it's a sure thing but with just a stamp, kind of risky getting into Mexico without a visa. Coming home is no problem. She's been here since July. Doesn't she have green card yet?

It seems to be that people are interpreting the question if as "Will she be able to get back into the US after visiting Mexico?" I think this question really is "What documents are required for a non US citizen to enter Mexico?"

e.g. Will she require a visitors visa issued by Mexico to enter Mexico or is she exempt?

China is not a visa exempt county for visiting Mexico unless her passport was issued by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

If not, she will need to check with the local Mexican consulate.
