My friends mom was a victim of a crime while they were visiting from Mexico on a b2 visa. My friend was in the US and was 17 when this happened. She was included in the U visa application with her mom. Mom received temporary work permit, but my friend had already went back to Mexico and continued the application process from here. Her U visa application is still pending 3 years later. My question is she has a current b2 visa. Can she travel to the US to visit her mom on this visa without jeopardizing her U visa application?

it is a I-94 she gets once every 6 months

If you search the forum you will find, this question is asked plenty of times and answer is same, technically and legally both you can apply for visa.

You are even allowed to travel but and here is the BIG but … entry is upto officer at POE. One has to convince the officer at POE that upon entry one would not try to do AOS and would return back home based on visa terms.

I myself had a B1 (business) during the CR1, but I was able to justify with documents from work and I was traveling for my job.

She lives at a border town in mexico. she only has to the permit for travel further than 15 miles int the US once every 6 months and has been able to do so for the pass 9 years. Once she has the permit it is a multiple entry permit valid for 6 months. when crossing would she have to declare that she has a cr-1 pending or would this show up anywere on here visa?

Hello my and my Fiancee are not married yet but it looks like this would be the best option. I am a U.S. Citizen. My significant other is a Mexican Citizen. She currently travels to the U.S. to visit me on her b1/b2 visa for up to 6 month at a time. my question is while we would be waiting for the approval of the cr-1 could she she still come and visit on her b1/b2 tourist visa?

some background info;

I am US citizen born in California. When I was 12 my family moved to mexico were i have lived the past 14 years, I met my fiancee Lily who is a Mexican citizen 10 years ago and have been together ever since. She has had a b1/b2 tourist visa for about 9 years. we have a 6 year old daughter that was born in Arizona while we were on vacation. All medical bills were paid and we returned to mexico. We have been avoiding getting married because of all the legal hoops and what not.

after 12 years in mexico, 7 months ago i got a new job and I moved back to the U.S.. Lily comes and has extended visits as her visa allows for up to 6 months at a time.

I was not working while in Mexico, I was going to school and living with my parrents. I now make $40k plus a year for the past 8 months, this will be my first year filing a tax return ever. My daughter was born in the US while we were on a legitamate vacation. She is now 6 years old.

also someone mentioned to me that I would have to provide proof of finacial solvency, well i just moved back to the u.s. so I don;t have any tax returns or anything will this present a problem?

I'm in the same situation that you are in except the fact that my fiancee doesn't have visa

When i was talking to my lawyer she said that if he had visa we it would better to get married here because it would be easier to fix papers up for him

But since he didnt we went through the fiancee visa.

Here's the thing its up too u what road u want to take.

If u get married first and then do papers it takes about a year. But when they get approved they come in with there residency. My friend did this and right now they are waiting on her husbands mica

if u do fiance its shorter its about 5 months to 7 months but once you get here u have to apply for residency and all that

hope that helps

ps if u leave here in arizona i can give u a number of a great lawyer who is very helpful and very cheap she only charges u 50 bucks for her to give u advice fill out papers and translations and sends the packet out for u

Yes we are in phoenix, the price sound to good to be true. could you please send me the lawyers info thank you

Hello Me and my Fiancee are looking for some advice on which route to take, and if we should seek the help of an immigration lawyer or just attempt to do it ourselves. So here is our background

I am US citizen born in California. When I was 12 my family moved to mexico were i have lived the past 14 years, I met my fiancee Lily who is a Mexican citizen 10 years ago and have been together ever since. She has had a b1/b2 tourist visa for about 9 years. we have a 6 year old daughter that was born in Arizona while we were on vacation. All medical bills were paid and we returned to mexico. We have been avoiding getting married because of all the legal hoops and what not.

after 12 years in mexico, 7 months ago i got a new job and I moved back to the U.S.. Lily comes and has extended visits as her visa allows for up to 6 months at a time. I we have several questions

1. Should we get married first?

2. If we should get married first should it be in Mexico or US?

3. Which type of visa would best suite our needs, and allow Lily to continue to stay in the U.S. be it on the new visa or her existing tourist visa

4. Money is tight, do you recomend we go through the added expense of hiring an imagration lawyer to file all the paperwork?

I would like to thank you in advanced for taking the time to assist through this very confusing proceess. Again Thank you
