Yes, that is correct with her situation! Makes sense, thank you! The processing time to fix her tourist visa is also very long-- her apt is in 2025. Another question I have is since I work remote is me going to Mexico for 1-2 months at a time to spend time together while the process of getting her CR1 visa okay? Appreciate all the adivce!

Hello! I am so glad to find this resource, I appreciate everyone's time. I have been dating a woman in Mexico for the last year and we are looking to get married in Sept. we have a concern though as she was deported from the US 4.5 years ago for working on a tourist visa (she is a musician and was playing at a festival where she got paid for some stage and backline work). My question is that is this grounds for denial of a CR1 visa? We have documentation that her deportation was for working. I also am just starting to get myself familiar with this process and looking at current trends/times for processing. For the country statistics under CR-1 / IR -1 Visa Timeline Statistics it lists Mexico as 860 days average between NOA2 and Interview. I notice some countries are much shorter. Is this because Mexico is a higher place for immigration fraud causing the longer wait times? Thanks for your time and help
