Vacation to Mexico, can my wife re-enter

[chrisepic 0]

My wife should be here in September and we are planning a vacation to MExico in November.

Will she be able to re-enter the US?

She will have a CR-1 Visa and probably a Green card by then.

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Absolutely she can re-enter with her passport and green card. Just check what visa requirements Mexico has for Philipino citizens

Enjoy the sun!!!

Thanks!

CR-1 Visa recipients receive their green cards within the first couple of weeks from entry, right?

YES, since she will be entering the USA on an immigrant CR-1 visa she will get an I-551 stamp in passport at POE. The I-551 stamp allows re-entry from trips abroad.

NOTE: Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, recognize I-551 stamp or green-card, so NO visa required to travel there.

With all due respect, I got my information from the Foreign Affairs Ministry. I would not like to see the OP and his wife having their vacation ruined for trusting an airline website.

Better safe than sorry, me thinks.

Why spoil a vacation dealing with the MX consulate only to find out that US green-card holders are allowed to visit MX WITHOUT a Visa.

Been there done that...

Permanent legal residents of the US and Canada

All legal permanent residents of Canada and the United Sates, regardless of their nationality, if in possession of a so-called green card (now they are pink), or its Canadian equivalent, do not have to go through the process of applying to Mexico City for their entry permit nor do they need the stamp on their passports. They can be issued the tourist card on board the aircraft or at the port of entry to be able to travel to Mexico as tourists, in transit, or for short business trips.

THEY MUST CARRY WITH THEM THEIR VALID PASSPORT AND THEIR GREEN OR PINK PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD ISSUED BY THE U.S.A. GOVERNMENT OR THE CANADIAN EQUIVALENT.
