You can take a cruise and go to jamica. No passport needed, look into what Closed Loop Cruise, Start and finish at same port in USA.

Wont you have probs landing back in the USA

if you take a cruise? I think there is some way

you can go across the border & catch a flight

to Mexico city...don't know about needing a

visa....I would call their consulate and enquire.

Why not pay for her to go down to Tijuana &

meet there since she already can move around

in Mexico

You need a U.S. passport book or card for POE.

Tijuana is kind of dangerous the last time I looked, unless that has changed recently.

You will need a passport to get the visa in Mexico and also to go back to USA.

My husband cross the border in bus and they requested his passport. And when we went to USA to visit friends, the officer asked him to see his American passport.

You forgot "getting engaged and married."

OP: you should check for a warrant, you owe child support they might apprehend you at the airport or point of entry.

People correct me if I am wrong. Once I read that for K1 visas, American citizens have to have good (I am not sure about the word) moral or something like that, and someone gave an example saying if the American citizen committed a felony or didn't pay child support the USA won't approve a visa for a fiance or wife. I will look for the post.

It appears to me based on this reading: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/beforeyouboard/travelDocumentation.doand my awful recollection of my own cruise some years ago, which included a stop in Jamaica, that the OP can indeed travel to Jamaica without a passport, because he only needs his ID to show the people on the cruise ship on the way back in after stopping in port. Of course, these are very short trips and although you could in theory then run around anywhere on the island, you wouldn't have a great deal of time to do so. Then there is the fact that maybe he shouldn't be doing any of this to begin with, for the same reason he cannot get the passport.

You cannot get a visa for Mexico without a passport. The problem with the closed-loop cruise idea in terms of meeting your fiance is that she would need a US via to take the cruise. If she can get a US visa, no reason to take the cruise to meet her, she can come to where you live.

Sorry you don't appreciate other comments -- but the background was needed so peole could give you accurate answers to the issue for which you asked for advice, not just responses you wants to hear. To get denied a passport, you need to owe at least $2500 in back support, roughly the cost of a K-1 visa (with the medical) and AOS, etc.....something to consider.
