I'm not going to US!

Thanks for these ideas, I will discuss it to my husband, and consider it.

Looking at the OP's timeline, it appears she has a CR-1 visa with six months validity. So she does not have a GC, but one is waiting for her upon arrival in the USA. The two options:

1) Travel to the USA before the visa expires, receive her GC (approximately two weeks after being in the USA), then return to Korea or Philippines until moving to USA permanently in June 2009 when her husband's assignment is up. This would be the easiest solution if she could travel to the USA for a few weeks.

2) Contact the US embassy/consulate that issued the visa and request an extension. The Foreign Affairs Manual allows the consulate to re-issue in certain cases (see link below, sections 42.71 to 42.73). She may or may not receive an extension. If yes, then she would have to pay the visa fee again. If no, she would have to start from NVC, refile the I-864, and re-interview. A new I-130 is not required as they do not expire (as the I-129f does after four months).
