Q: I married my wife in Mexico. In 2015 she came in 2016 as thrust and we got married here in Texas and she wnt back to me.
For personal reasons now I want her here can she enter with torist visa and start. The process to her legal status what can I do we have a home there. But now we want to live here
A: One of the conditions of the tourist visa is an intent to return to the home country after a short visit. If a person enters the US with a tourist visa and already have an intent to immigrate, this would be considered fraud and could create a lot of problems when times comes to adjust her status. Assuming you are already a United States Citizen,I would recommend that you file the petition for alien relative I-130 and request consular processing. I don't know your wife's immigration history so I will need to inquire into that before I can tell you if she would be eligible for adjustment. I hope this helps.
