Hi,

     I am planning to file for Spouse visa for my wife who is from Pakistan. I know the visa process take long. I was thinking to bring my wife first to Mexico through temporary residency (I already got my temporary residency visa and will soon file for her) so we can live tighter until her US immigrations process is completed. I work remotely so I can work from anywhere, so I was thinking to work from Mexico while her visa is still in progress.

 

The question can I start spouse visa process while she lives in Mexico and once, she gets to the interview stage can she has her interview in Mexico or she would have to fly back to Pakistan.

You can start the process any time after marriage and from anywhere in the world.  If she is legally residing in Mexico, she can interview there.
