What do I have to do if I want to marry my boyfriend who lives in Mexico? Is it easier to marry there then bring him?

You can marry in Mexico and then petition for him as your spouse or you can petition for him as your fiance if you plan to marry in the US.

If you are a U.S. citizen you can marry him anywhere and petition for him to come to the U.S. with legal status. However, he may have to go through consular processing. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

A fiance visa is faster.

My recommendation would be to sit with an attorney who can provide the guidance that you will need to make an informed decision. Sounds to me like a fiance visa would be the best alternative available to you based in what you have provided in your inquiry. In a situation such as this, I think that you at best served by talking to someone who has handled applications like this in the past and who can provide you a nuts and bolts presentation on how it is done and the rough estimate of timelines require to get your applications filed, approved and to obtain visa issuance. This is not necessarily the most complicated of cases, but the assistance and guidance of a qualified attorney who can move things along and who can deal with any issues which may arise is probably your best bet. Sit with someone, ask questions and get the answers that you and your spouse need to make an informed decision. Good Luck.

That's always the million dollar question. There is no simple answer, and there are a variety of options. We always sit down with a client to get all of the facts and then review the options with them, to see what works best.
