Hello every one, my name is Melissa, i live in England with my Hubby who is english and my 8 month old daughter and 3 dogs. I have lived in England for 8 years and have been married almost 4, i have Indefinite Leave to remain at the moment.

Since my daughter birth i have wanted to move back home to be close to my family. I just feel it time to move back home and my hubby is very excited about this too.

Don't know were to start. Sigh.

I know we can apply for most things here in England. But there is so much i dont understand.

Do i apply for I-130 first?

I am a stay at home mom, how dose the Affidavit of support thing work? Will i have go go home and get a job first. Just dont understand.

Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Melissa

Read and read and read some more. Here are 2 links that you'll find helpful. 1 is the guide for the i-130 and thes steps to file that, and the other is how to file directly with the consulate since you obviously qualify for that.

Welcome to VJ. Good luck

Here's a link for London specific DCF (Direct Consular Filing) http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/DCF_London

Your Dad can be a joint sponsor by doing a form I-864, so you don't have to get a job first. Your baby can get a US passport and won't need a visa or later greencard. Start on this page for the baby http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/acs/passports/robirth4.html

If you become eligible for UK citizenship before you return to the States, then that might be something you want to consider.
