US Immigration from Mexico

Hey all,

Question regarding Advanced Parole. My husband and I intentionally applied for AP alone in hopes that the process would be shorter and allow him to get back to Mexico to see his son, as that is our current priority. Our case was accepted August 6 and the timeline online says 3-5 months. However, VisaJourney keeps sending me updated estimates saying that our approval is estimated to arrive in April.

Anybody have any experience separating these two? Does it expedite the experience meaningfully? Do we have any hope of getting his AP approved before the end of 2020?

We applied 10 years ago and now applying again. Will they check the first DS-260 and compare to this new one we are filling out? It s hard to remember exact dates and I m afraid that if they don t match they will deny him. Also he has other children if we don t know their exact address will listing just the city and state suffice?

thank you in advance

Hi all,

My wife and I were married in a civil ceremony in 2019 upon her entrance on a K1 visa. Now we are planning to get married in a Catholic church in her home country where we will have a proper rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, 100+ guests all the things you d find at a typical wedding. Now obviously, weddings are expensive and we need to pay for vendors, the venue, the church etc, but I want to make sure all the transfer of money from the US is properly documented for the eventual ROC filing in a year. What is the best way to log financial transfers across borders? Also, if either of our parents want to contribute, should we have them transfer the money to us as a gift stating explicitly what it is for?

Thank you!

Hi all,

Quick question. My wife received her green card last November (adjusted from K1). At the interview, we provided evidence we collected from the gap in time between our marriage and the date of the interview. I know it will be a while before we can file for ROC, but I m just wondering what evidence we should be collecting for eventual submission. It was over a year between our marriage and our interview - should I be submitting that again as well or should I just start from the date she got her green card?

Also, how common has it been to have interviews waived if we were already interviewed for the AOS? I have bad anxiety and I hated going through the first one even though our case was very straightforward. I d love to not do it again.

Hello, I wasn t sure how to add this to Mexico forum. My medical exam is soon and Im so nervous about the chest X-ray. I would hate to be delayed for even more additional testing. Multiple doctors have said it looks normal but I can t help but worry. How many of you in Mexico have been sent for additional TB testing?
