This is my situation and I hate that it has come to this... My wife's mother is very sick and she needs to go home to be with her on Dec.5

I have filed for AOS and AP "advance parole" but we have not gotten the approval yet...

We have an infopass appointment on Dec.4 which we have a letter from her mom's doctor stating her condition, which we hope they will give her AP that day....

If they dont give her AP thay day she will leave anyway...

My question is if it comes to her leaving without AP, what would be the easiest way for her to re-enter the USA, K3 or ir-1/cr-1...??

thanks much :cry:

I think that this the exact sort of situation they give emergency AP for - I hope your wife gets it!!

If she does have to abandon, there isn't an easy answer as to which is faster CR1 or K3, that's why the vast majority of people apply for both.

I know it sucks, but the I130 is the only one that must be done. The I129F for the K3 is optional, and was designed to get couples together faster - it just isn't working out very well. Although apparently the I130 process used to take alot longer, so at least that's one positive thing :)

There may be a faster way to reunite, if it becomes necessary.

http://bucharest.usembassy.gov/Visas/Immed...tives_Visa.html

Read here at VJ about DCF/Direct Consular Filing. The Consulate may help you out here, and let you file the I-130 with them directly.

It's a very fast way to a CR/IR visa, when it's available.
