Leaving TIjuana and more help needed

Post New Topic

When I got my residente permanente card the woman at the immigration office told me that I didn't need to check in or out at the border if I was driving across, however that doesn't appear to be the truth.

Where are we supposed to check out when we leave Tijuana? I know where to check in at the border, but I have never seen, or heard of, anyplace to check out when leaving.

My wife is now applying for her residente temporal card and they have asked her "where is your husband now".

I am afraid that if she says "In Mexico" that they will think it is strange for a married couple to live in two different cities and cause problems.

I am also afraid that if she says "he is with me in the USA" that they will see that I haven't checked out of Mexico and will revoke my RP card or fine me.

Is this an actual problem, or should I just find the place to check out then stay in the USA until we get things sorted out for her? If so, where do I check out?

I think you may be worrying too much. You, as Residente Permanente, may come and go as you please. You do not have to “check out“ & may join your wife at the consulate, if you wish, or if she wishes, or if they wish. Keep smiling & relax. Just be sure that you have proof that you live in Mexico.
