Last minute move. Need to quickest way to bring wife with me.

Hello all,

I'm sure a similar question may have been asked before, but please bare with me.

7 yrs ago my wife came over from Japan to the states where I was stationed ( Air Force) on a fiancee visa and we were married. About 10 months later I was re-assigned back to Japan, where we've been since 2008. I'm retiring in August and my original plan was to stay in Japan, but due to unforeseen circumstances we need to move back to the states. We also have a son together, but he was born on base and has dual citizenship.

Does anyone know the quickest route to acquire a visa so I can bring her along with me when I leave in August?

Thank you

was she on your PCS orders in 2008? If yes - it's my understanding that she not leave USA soil.

Of course - if you two not follow up with the RoC Casefile circa 5 years ago - she's abandoned permanent residency.

What's what ?

Yes she's on my military orders from 2008. Honestly once we moved back to Japan I just never gave it another thought. Until now.

ok - she's abandoned permanent residency since not filing for ROC prior. So ya gotta start over. I think.

Luckily - military expedites are granted often and with some speed. We've a military section here - check it out !

So without Roc she doesn't have residency and you start from scratch . I130 and it takes about a year if you can't do either DCF or expedite
