More details to this question:
My father has applied to get a U Visa. It has not been approved or declined even though it was sent over 6 weeks ago. Due to the death of someone dear too me, I would like to go to mexico and attend her funeral. Is it possible to travel too mexico and still be able to get the U visa. Maybe do the process over there in a U.S. Embassy or Consulate?

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I sympathize with your situation, but there is no option to travel outside of the United States for a brief trip and return. It would be extremely risky to travel outside the United States while your U visa application is pending. It would be best if you do not travel at this time.
