Hi everyone - I am in need of your advice! My husband is a UK citizen and previous GC holder and I'm a US citizen. We have 2 kids (UK/US citizens) and we are trying to figure out what to do to get my husband into the US, preferably by applying for citizenship via N-400. Our story is a big long so i'll summarize in bullet points...
Husband and I meet abroad (teaching English in S. Korea)
Husband and I get married in US in 2007 (applied for GC via fiancee visa)
Husband and I lived in US until 2010 (three full years) then moved back to S. Korea to teach English
Lived in S. Korea for 6 years (had 2 kids there)
Husband abandoned GC in 2015: he used to travel to the US for a week every year to try to maintain residency but was told by an immigration officer that he couldn't do that and needed to abandon.....REGRET!!!
Moved to UK (I went on VWP on 2 6 month long trips only to find out I'm only allowed to be in UK 6 months out of 12 months)
I came back to US with 2 kids since I can't go back to the UK again...
Applied for another GC for husband in Oct. 2016 (just petition approved) but randomly spoke with someone who told me he should apply for citizenship...
So, would my husband be eligible to apply for US citizenship? We've been married for 10 years, we have been paying joint taxes even while abroad and have bank statements/insurance sent to an address in the US.
I feel so overwhelmed and confused...I just applied for a UK spousal visa but was told it could take 3-4 months....might ask for a refund if this route is possible...
N-400 : Husband abandoned GC not knowing we could apply for citizenship after 3 years in US
