Hello my name is Mike.  My wife (citizen of Indonesia) and I are currently living in Texas.  We got married here in Texas 2 years ago following the approval of her K-1 visa.  We did so within the 90 day requirement.  Adjustment to status filed...not yet 😯.  We have decided to move to Indonesia.  i am retired military and meet the $1500 per month minumum to live in Indonesia.  My wife does not work.  We have a joint account of course.  So, my question is this.  Can we apply for a spouse sponsored visa  (for me) with my wife and I currently living together here in Texas through the Indonesian Consulate in Houston, Texas?  Would it be better to apply for a social visa for me with a family member of hers already living in Jakarta, Indonesia and once we arrive then pursue the spouse sponsored visa?  What do you all think?  I am not coming back to the u.s.a. and i already know about the 10 year bar, etc. for not completing AOS.  We dont care about that.  Thank you in advance for all responses. ☺

I would go to the embassy there in Texas if there is one to see what you need to do to immigrate there.

This site is predominantly based around immigration to the US, not emigration to other countries.

 

That being said, be aware that as soon as your wife leaves the US she will be barred from re-entering for ten years under INA 212, because she has at least 365 days of overstay as you didn't file for AoS and she has been illegally present since her I-94 expired.
