Legal Question in Immigration Law in Mexico
Live in USA
Hi.
Is there a kind of visa to live in USA, not work?
My wife and I work in Tijuana Mexico and we don't want to change that. We already have a home in San Diego and we want to live there legally.
Best Regars!

There are many ways to do it, and given the problems in Mexico today more people are building this kind of safety net. You can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.
Re: Live in USA
I would need to know more about your status to determine that. I work in both SD and TIJ. Please contact me at your earliest convenience and I would be happy to discuss this matter with you.
Re: Live in USA
First of all, where are you actually living? If you are living in Mexico, fine; I presume you are Mexican, yes? On the other hand, if you are living in California, and you do not have any legal status, how are you getting down to Mexico and getting back to California, if that is what you are doing? If you are not U.S. citizens, or lawful permanent residents of the U.S., then there are only a few possibilities that allow you to live in the U.S. Either you obtain a relative visa petition or you have a prospectivce employer petition for you. Since you work in Tijuana, I guess from what you have advised, you prefer to continue working in Tijuana. Then the only other possibility would be someone who could petition for one of you. It's not that easy.
Re: Live in USA
You might have several options mostly based on employemnt in the U.S. If you do not want to work in the U.S., an EB-5 might be an option.
Re: Live in USA
You need permanent residence for what you want to accomplish in all likelihood. Best to be in touch with me directly to specify more details in order to be sure. I practiced law in San Diego for many years and frequented the U.S. Consulate in T.J., so I'm quite familiar with the "landscape."
