My wife ( a US Citizen) has been wanting to move back to America for many years, but never had the chance due to having kids. They are now older and we are ready to make the jump and follow our dreams.
Unfortunately we couldn't get CRBAs for the kids as my wife hasn't had 365 continuous days in the US. Missed out on this by 1 month so the embassy wouldn't allow it to be passed over.
My wife has petitioned for myself and the kids to go and live in the US.
She is an American citizen by birth but lives in the UK. Would it be better if she moved over to the US while this process is ongoing to get things set up?
Thanks for your help with everything.. I have recently submitted the I-130/A and paid the fees.
My wife's mother has also found vaccination records for my wife to show she was present.
With that being said would we now Possibly be able to apply for the passports and birth certificates for our kids?
Sorry I misread the first question my bad.
Yes for 2 years she lived in US without leaving the country.
We have only ever been married to eachother no other marriages before.
Just to make this clear this was from birth up until 2 years of age.
Yeah we weren't married when any of the children were born. And my wife has only lived in the US as a child up until she was 2 years old. She has not lived in the US since then. We have only visited for holidays.
There has been a misunderstanding I was saying my wife lived in the US as a child up until 2 years of age. Not when any of the children were born.
Yeah she lived in the US for 2 years as a child but not since then it has only been for holiday visits. We have been together 12 years and the children only went for the first time in 2018.
So I'm guessing like everyone has said I-130 is definitely the best way to go.
Hi All,
I am married to a US Citizen for 6 years. We want to relocate to America and I am wondering if the CR-1/IR-1 including the I-130/A is the best visa to try and get for myself and children?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Ashley
