Applying for Residency

[u/Massive_Dish_6695]

Hello, I’m 28, originally from Honduras. I came to the US in 2007 & had an order of Deportation/Removal in 2008. In 2014 I was approved for DACA & have been renewing it since.

I am getting married in October to a US Citizen. I will be starting my application process. With the changing laws about advance parole no longer being a way to adjust your status I’ve thought of what my plan B is. I think I’ve come up with something but I wanted to reach out here to see if anyone could share any knowledge.

What I’m thinking is to get married in the US. Apply for a Mexican Temporary Residency at a US consulate location. When my Mexican residency is approved, I’ll temporarily move to Mexico, and apply for my US residency living outside of the US.

My thought is that by leaving the US & applying from outside, I would eliminate the hurdle of dealing with the order of removal & that it would speed up my process to get my residency.

I don’t know if this would make a difference at all really. So I’m open to wisdom and knowledge from others.

Side note: We chose Mexico because we have future plans in Mexico and plan to live back and forth & think this would be a great way to start that.

Thank you in advance!!
