Can my Philippine wife and I live in Mexico while waiting for her US visa to be processed?

Seasoned members will tell you that the K3 is virtually non-existent.  At a certain point it will be dropped and only the CR1 route will be taken.  You can search VJ for more information on this topic. 

 

 

That really shines a light.  I've been reading about the K3, but I've also read that it's not being used.  Sooo, I'll look for CR-1 Docs to download.  Cheers for that!

FYI, try not to be flippant about her working under the table as you seem to suggest. The road to wrongdoings is paved with good intentions. 

Sorry, not trying to come across flippant.  I'm just stating how it works there.  We're both Christians, and won't entertain the thought of doing things deceptively.

I have been to tijuana a few times yrs ago and could see myself

living in the better areas, I just dont know how I would make out

with my Spanglish but my husband and myself enjoyed those

trips the first time we went we stayed in the hotel Caliente now

changed, normally we shop when there, however we never drive,

on the direct border seems rough but what are some decent areas

may I ask in your opinion as a foreigner

i dont think u understand.. he WORKS in san diego and will be commuting daily from Tijuana! makes more sense why should he uproot his life when she will be coming to live with him in san diego.

 

 

Oh no, I understand. OP is doing this because of the separation he will endure. But if he could move to PI and meet the residency requirement, he could DCF and be done real quick. especially if he is doing CR-1/IR-1

My ex wife won't allow me to take our son there, and my job is here.

Oh ok. That makes sense.

I hope you found all the answers you need.

Zona Rios is a bit of a rough area. That's more in the Eastern hills.  You should be fine staying clos e to downtown, and playas.  Other nice places are Rosarito, Ensenada, and Puerto Nuevo if you like lobster.  There's a place overlooking the beach there (I always forget the name) that's very affordable for a nice lobster dinner with rice/beans and margarita.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 depending on the current exchange rate.

Yes, I did.  Thanks to all for your help.  I just picked up my replacement visa today.  I thought I'd lost it, so I paid $185 for a rapid replacement.  Before I left to pick it up this morning, I found my "lost" one.  $185 down the drain!
