Hello guys,
Will it negatively affect my I-130 case, that I had gotten a K1 visa, got married in the US on the 4th of September, and had filed for AOS and EAD, then 2 days ago I had to fly home before receiving my GC or any AP (I know this is classed as abandonment of the I-485 and I-765 applications)?
I have not yet started the I-130 process.
My husband and I are looking into options. I did not 'want' to leave the USA, but there was a situation, and we are now back at square one.
Thank you.

No, that's not a problem.  On the I-130, you are asked if you filed a petition before and the result.  Answer yes and then explain I-129F approved, entered, married and filed to adjust status.  Had to leave for emergency before receiving Advance Parole.

You don't have any other choice. May it confuse / slow things down? Quite possible.

Not if explained as I said above.  It will slow it down for as long as it takes to read a sentence.

If only DOS / USCIS staff read and understood stuff properly. We wouldn't see half of RFEs for obvious things related to I-864, I-693 etc etc. How many times USCIS ignores address changes through AR-11 and sends correspondence to old places... How many times we see people specifying their location in the US and still being invited for interview at consulate overseas... The list goes on. Anything even slightly deviating from golden path can slow things down by weeks and months. I'd argue abandonding I-485 and going consular is not a very straightforward situation, as it seems to a normal person IMO. Is this end of the world? Surely not, and it is not a negative thing. But it can slow things down a bit.

NVC/London IV unit are unlikely to be an issue.

 

USCIS could be, but the fact this is the UK means even if they’re confused it’d likely be easy to overcome. Citizens of five-eyes countries aren’t exactly subject to extreme amounts of scrutiny, even in the current climate.
