Hello good afternoon, I just wanted to see if somebody could help me with my question? Well to make a long story short my wife came to the USA on a K-1. We were married here and unfortunately before I could file for permanent residency she had to leave the country yesterday for a family emergency.

How do I file directly for permanent residency? Her visa that is in her passport the k-1 expires on Monday.Basically I am back to square one but only that we are married. We married here in the states once she arrived on her k-1, so basicaly she left as being married to me here in the states.

What forms do i need to apply for her residency? How do I do this?

I appreciate any help you can give me..

The k-1 was void once she entered the US to marry you. It's only valid for one time entry. If it was such a dire emergency you should have tried to apply for Advanced Parole at USCIS office so then she could re-enter the US with no hassles. Unfortunately, now you'll have to apply for a marriage based visa for her to enter the US and live with you. I'm not too familiar with that since I did K-1. Lots of other people on here can help you out though. The guides are really helpful too.

Sorry to hear about you situation. Good luck.

You may want to post this over on the K-3 and CR1 forums - those are the spousal visa forums - and I am certain that one of the many knowledgeable individuals there will see your question and be able to steer you in the right direction. Good luck.
