Sent in I-130, waiting for approval, need question answered

[meowmeowmeow 1]

Hi all,

I am writing this here, in the hopes that someone here may have done what I am contemplating doing. I've asked this question before and gotten no replies but one.

I am going to Syria next week to be with my husband. I can't deal with this separation, we've been married for nearly 1.5 years and only submitted the I-130 recently.

Would my going there affect this process in any way? Could I have the documents I need ready here while I am overseas? Could my mother or someone who will be handling my mail send me what USCIS sends me and I sign it, fill it in, add the evidence etc and then send it back? Is this acceptable? Would I need to tell USCIS I moved overseas to be with hubby till the end of this ordeal? Has anyone done this while they were waiting for the I-130 to be approved and for the rest of the stuff to start rolling through? Am I dumb for even thinking of doing this? Would I have start all over? I am ok in regards to the I-1485 (have a reliable joint sponsor, and my tax returns show that I made way over the poverty line these past 3 years), don't have much in the bank account and that will probably be nil if I go overseas anyways, but whatever.

Can someone answer my questions...I'm going to get the visa this week and made up my mind to go, but I really would like to know if my situation will be affected by me traveling overseas to be with hubby. I have no intention of spending forever there as well. I definitely am coming back, but hopefully with my man by my side.

Thank you in advance.

I haven't been in your situation and I hope there are others who can help you here on VJ but in my opinion, I don't think there should be any problems.

I just back from Syria in March, I was there for 5 months. My sister was my COA, she took care of everything for me while I was gone.

best of luck to you.
