I am in the USA on a K3 and have not yet adjusted my status.
I need to go home to the UK for family reasons. Does anyone know if I now can just apply for my permenant residency (CR1) whilst in the UK? Also my wife is coming with me to the UK to live for a while, is Direct Consular Filing from the UK an option?
Also does anyone have a good Immigration Lawyer in Minneapolis / St Paul minnesota that they trust? We are just not sure about the advice ours gives us!

Where abouts is your I-130.....has it been approved? If the I-130 is approved you can follow through with the processing at NVC and once completed and sent to the consulate you can interview there for the CR-1 visa. This however takes time.

You would need to look up the residency requirements for the UK in order to know if and when you could do DCF.
