Did you apply for an AP (advance parole) at the same time as AOS?

Of you leave the country before this I believe you have to start the AOS packages again

You didn't apply for AP then your K1 status should be abandoned. However you need to start the from the beginning but this time the petition form going to be I-130 instead I-129F.

Good luck.

Hello Everyone.

I've already asked the question before but I'm just a little lost. So, here's what happened..

I entered the united states on K1 visa last April and we got married July 2nd and due a lack of money I couldn't apply for the AOS!

In December I had to go back home to Egypt for family emergency, and since i didn't apply for the AOS i understand being married doesn't make any different if we're going to apply for CR-1 visa, but my questions are:

we got married but we didn't have any wedding, we didn't have anything like joint bank accounts, we only have the marriage license and i have my social security number and also a lot of picture we took together when i was there. So, when my wife apply for I-130 what else we need to send with it as evidence beside the marriage license!

and is the fee for filling is $420?

I've already read the guides here and downloaded the forms but I'm just confused about the evidence that should be sent when we ready to apply!

Thanks in advance.

include evidence of your continuing relationship-chat logs, skype screenshots, phone logs

if you have money transfer receipts you can include those, include some pictures from your wedding, and if she has made a trip to see you since you left include information from that, and if you two made any trips together include information from that
