Helloo every body

I need your help

I'm US citizen, i applied for K1 visa to my fiance, she got it and she came here to usa. We got married, and for family issue she left before i file the change of status application. Now she is stuck back home. what should i do? is it true that the only way is to file i-130 all over?

When i check with the USCIS, i have been told that she entered the usa on U visa, which is totally wrong, it looks like the officer on the airport entered the data wrong, can i use this glitch?

Please reply me ASAP

Yes, generally.

Leaving the US before waiting for your AP is abandonment of AOS. You would have to start over with an I-130.

To be honest - she should probably contact her local embassy. They will be able to advise on the status of her K1 and whether there is in fact a loophole you can use here. Also, if she had to leave for very serious reasons that can be proven, there may be some way around it. I honestly don't know. Exploiting a mistake in the system seems somewhat dodgy and I don't know what a U visa is.

Edit: Also, this is the info about emergency parole which someone in your situation possibly should have done. I don't know if there is any remit to this *after* leaving the US: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=5436f0cb861c5210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=4c790a5659083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

Yes, you will need a spousal visa now. You should have applied for an advanced parole before she left: if it was an emergency,, they approve these in a couple of days and that would have allowed her to come back. As is, you will need to apply for the spousal visa.

Also, maybe complete your timeline? You didn't bother after NOA1 and the data helps everyone. You must have got married some time ago, but I cannot tell.

You need to file for the CR-1 visa for her and wait it out. No other way for her to return unless she has a valid visa, which presently she does not.
