My wife came here on a K1 visa and got mad and demanded divorce she left and now realizes that she made a mistake

Is it possible to get her back after we filed for divorce and everything was finalized and she returned back home? Now she realizes she was just acting on crazy mad emotions, and made a bad decision is it possible to get her back to the US so we can get back to our lives and marriage.

You'll have to go through the K-1 process again or you'll need to get married and file for CR-1.

Be prepared to be scrutinized.

How long ago did she come on a K1? How long did ya'll stay married before she demanded a divorce and left? Did she get her 2 year GC?

I'd say it may be easier for a CR-1 than a K1, depending how quick everything went down.

Oh and like the poster above me said, you're going to either need to try for a K1 again or get married again and go for a spousal visa. She can't just come back in without doing one of those two things.

Yes as stated, K-1 or CR1. Entire process started over. Also, you will need to provide a lot more evidence this time around. If it didn't work the first time why would it work the second? Not me asking this, but more likely that will be the question the CO wants answered.

She was here for 9 months, I never realized she needed medication for bipolar disorder and she had some pretty bad episodes.

... Did she realize she needed medication? Is she on medication now? This could also be something that can cause quite a hitch if they feel like her being there may cause a danger to you. Did she let them know at medical that she was bipolar or did she just stopped taking her medication when she was with you?

Ya'll weren't married very long then if she she left once the divorce was finalized and still only in the country for 9 months.

Prepare to make a very strong case, and make sure that you can give her access to the medication she needs when she comes to the states.

no she did not tell them or me and she stopped taking it about 6 months prior to coming here and went straight into crazy fits of anger.

So.....you didn't learn the first time. Mistakes are lessons of life. If you didn't learn from that lesson then you get to repeat it.

The first bullet in your foot didn't hurt enough

I don't think K-1 will be appropriate for the same person you were once married to.

The normal thing for couples who get divorced and get back together is to get married again, not to start dating and get engaged again like y'all haven't gone through this before.

So, I doubt K-1 would work.. So do CR-1 if you want to get back to together.

good luck to you!

CR-1 But, take it from someone who lived with a person for 15 years that was on medication for a number of mentally related issues. There was some good times and some love but the bad times far outweighed the good. In the end, 10 years of huge fights and chaos and the last 5 years were hell resulting in divorce and a daughter who will suffer for years due to her mom's past treatment. Please , please, please do a lot of research about Bipolar and join a support group to learn what it's really like to live with a Bipolar person. Staying on the proper medication is just one thing you need to worry about. You already had one divorce... don't make a second mistake for the same thing.

[Ash.1101 1,755]

Even with CR-1, if it were me, I would have her tell medical that she is bipolar and that it's not under control. While yes, she may be on meds now, her going off meds means it's most likely not as under control as it should be. Any person with a mental illness that is aware the meds help, generally don't just go off their meds, not tell their future spouse they have a mental illness, and lie to medical when asked if there are any relevant facts about themselves they need to subject.

Yes, she may have to undergo pysch testing, and yea she might get in trouble for lying. I'm not saying for her to make up a story, but say she's been diagnosed when she was a teen and the doctor asked if she had any prior medical history, she says no, goes off her meds, has an episode and is BACK at medical going "yes I've been bipolar since I was a child" "why wasn't that brought up at the first medical" "well I was off my meds", it's going to show either the meds aren't working or that she doesn't care enough to stay on them...


If you do not have her tell medical that she is bipolar, then you're setting yourself up for this to happen again. You'll know if she told them the truth because she SHOULD have to go through a psych. If she tells them half truths, she may get around it, but this is something that's very important.



Most people here don't have the issue of trying to prove to medical they are CURRENTLY in sound mental health, with what happened, you're most likely going to have to prove that. Things that happened years ago get brushed off, things that happened recently, yeah, get taken more seriously.



And I agree with the above post. I'd almost recommend... well, re-dating her. You know she's lied to you once, I think you may need more time in the dating phase to see if there's anything else that she may have decided it was better for you to not know. Date for a while, but if you do just run off and get remarried, try to be aware of the hurdles you're going to have to face. She will need insurance, she will need medication, she may need you to supervise the fact she's taking medication. Even if she takes herself off her meds, she may find YOU to be the bad guy because you're trying to keep her on them for your own good.

Listen to the above poster.

All wrong.

If they married, they can't try for a fiancé visa.

They don't need to get married again (LOL) to file for a spousal visa.

To add:

Do you really want to be with somebody that overreacts like this and makes rash decisions that affect your life? Personally, I would run from this one. She even did you a favor by going back home.

I disagree that someone does not go off mental illness meds if they work, in clarity many are embarrassed on their dependency. I know 3-4 people that are bi-polar and well controlled on medication but each has chosen at various points to forego their medication. It will require you to be in a constant state of vigilance to ensure she continues to take her medicines, are you ready for that level of commitment?

OP has finalized the divorce before the ex went back home.

So both are considered Single now.

They WERE married. They got a divorce and are no longer married. They were only married for 9 months before the divorce was finalized and his ex-wife left the country, They are 100% divorced.

Therefore, the only options are K-1 visa to get married AGAIN, or get married AGAIN and go spousal.
