More details to this question:
I am currently in Mexico because I had no job recently. I left even though I was on probation for 2 misdemeanors for DUI in New Mexico, within the same year 2 years ago. My girlfriend will be moving to Mexico to marry me and she wants to help me to get legalized so I can go back to the states with her. How can I process this even though I'm in Mexico right now and she's moving down here around near the end of the year?

Your wife can petition for you by filing a I-130 relative petition with USCIS. If you were unlawfully present in the U.S. in excess of 12 months, you will be required to file a waiver on form I-601 in order to return to the U.S. within 10 years of your departure.
