I-130 after entering on k1 married and returned to home country without adjusting status

[montem01 0]

Good morning,

My wife came to the US on a K1 visa and we married here in the US within 30 days.

She returned to her home country without adjustin status to a permanent resident.

Do I have to file an I 130 to bring her back? Do we have to through the medical and biometrics again?

any help will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Since she left the country without completed AOS, you have to start all over again by filing I-130. It will take 12-14 months (may be longer, depends on your country).

New petition, new fee, new biometrics and new medical. Big mistake to leave without AP.

The big question is why did you guys do it?

Now you have to apply for Spouse Visa and the process is usually longer than the K-1.

Peace!

Since she left without AOS then y'all have to file the CR-1 visa for her and it takes about 12 months.

We are same, you will start all over again by sending I-130 form...I been in US via K1 visa two years ago, got married in US and returned to home country. I applied IR1 last year then I got my visa last month. Overall processing for me is 8 months. On the interview, the consular asked me, "Why comeback to Kuwait? Why I didn't apply AOS? Good luck to you.
