I apologize if I post this in the wrong forum , but here is my dilemma and hope you guys can help me out .

I was born and raised in Chicago and I am a Mexican American who served in the military during 2 wars in the early 90's

And currently employed by the US Postal.

My story is that last year I met a women in Mexico who I knew a long time but started dating last summer. Little did I know her visa expired and she had told me this past Sunday that she was going to surprise me in February for valentine. But when she went to get her tourist visa renewed. They denied her visa because she works for the city where she lives.

I was surprised and sadden. I have been to see her at least 5 times to Mexico and once to California. I just came back from Mexico a week ago and I had proposed to her but she kept me in the dark about the denial. I have all proof that I have visited Mexico Pictures and all. I'm really bummed that she was trying to visit me.

Now I want to ask my own government who sent me off to fight for them for help to me bring her so I can marry her.

I can figure out the the forms but should I wait to marry her here in the US or if I marry her In Mexico What can I do. Thanks. Tony

It is what ever is best for you. If you go the K-1 visa route, you can start the paperwork now since it sounds like you meet the requirements. Or you can get what ever you need together go to Mexico marry her then come back and start the paper work. One option you can start the process tomorrow, the other may take you a few weeks to months to get everything together to be able to file. I suggest you look over the benefits of both options and see which option works best for you. Best of luck with what ever you decide.

Denial of a tourist visa will not affect her getting a K-1/CR-1. You can decide where you want to marry and which visa you want to apply for: http://www.visajourney.com/content/compare
