Immigration from Mexico to the United States
Bringing a loved one from Mexico to the United States involves navigating complex immigration procedures. Our Miami office specializes in helping Florida families reunite with Mexican family members through available immigration pathways.
Immigration Pathways from Mexico
Several immigration pathways are available for Mexican nationals with family ties in the United States. These include K-1 fiancé visas for engaged couples, spouse visas (CR-1/IR-1) for married couples, and family preference petitions for parents, children, and siblings of US citizens and permanent residents.

Family Preference Petitions
US Embassy in Mexico
The US Embassy in Mexico City and consulates in Guadalajara, Monterrey, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Matamoros, Mérida, Nogales, Nuevo Laredo, and Tijuana process immigrant visas for Mexican nationals. Ciudad Juárez handles a significant volume of immigrant visa interviews.
Typical Processing Times
K-1 fiancé visa processing from Mexico typically takes 10-14 months. Spouse visa (CR-1/IR-1) processing averages 12-18 months. Family preference categories have longer wait times depending on the specific preference category and priority date.
Processing times are estimates and can change. Check the USCIS website for current times.
Join the Mexican Community in Florida
Florida is home to a vibrant Mexican community, particularly in the Miami-Dade area. Many Mexican families in Florida seek to reunite with loved ones still in Mexico. Our office understands the unique needs of this community and provides bilingual services.
