Moving back to the U.S. from Mexico

Texasgirl1

I know this is not the norm but we are considering moving back to the U.S. at some point. We are currently in Cozumel and would be driving. I have my Permanent Resident card and hubby is Mexican. Has anyone done this and, if so, can you provide any tip or suggestions we should consider?

If your husband does not have a permanent resident card for US probably should forget it.
Can't imagine it would be easy for your husband to get approval to cross the border.

Well, he has a Visa. We go twice a year via air.

It seems that you have nothing to worry about. Just do it by the rules. If you need a full move, then send the things by the delivery service, and make up a guest visa for the husband if he is not a citizen of the country. Just do everything according to the law.

Make out your documents for entry through the embassy. This will save you from unnecessary problems. Things can really send a transport company or use a customs broker. We used to bring things to Canada. Problems with things, receipt and customs did not arise.
