Left country without a parole

[Pedrita 21]

I'm married to a U.S. Citzen and we have our interview scheduled for 19/06/2015. For personal reasons, I came back to my country on a last minute flight without authorization. I totally know I messed up but please someone answer what k should do now to go back to my husband. Do we have to start it all over again? If so, what the right type of visa would be since we got married in the U.S.? Can I still make it to the interview somehow?

Thank you very much

Cr-1/ir-1 visa basically have to start over since you left without getting any type of documents to allow you back .

[Pedrita 21]

Thank you for your reply!

Am I still eligible for a CR-1 if the marriage took place in the U.S.? I'm asking because I think I've read somewhere that it's just for if the marriage took place outside the U.S.

I'm just so lost!!!

Follow the guides at the top for filing for the CR-1. It will take more than a year.

[Morganalmonshid94 84]

Yes your still eligible doesn't matter where you've been married, but like the other poster mentioned it will take about a year sorry that you have to deal with this now .

No it does not matter if you married in the USA or your home country. You can still apply for it.

But it's a long process.

I would go back to the states for your interview if possible if not then go back and start the AOS again otherwise if you apply for a CR1 visa you will be apart from your husband for a min of about 8-14months

I married in the US and went back to Canada to await our CR-1 petition approval. It took one year (minus one day) from NOA1 to visa-in-hand.

Thank you so much for your answers and I apologize for being asking so many questions.

Would a boarding foil help me to get back to the U.S. In time for the interview? Has anyone tried that with the U.S. Embassy?

Thank you

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

You'll interview for a CR-1 in your own country. Your K-1 is now invalid. Sorry. You should have made infopass before you left if you needed emergency parole, but now you're out of luck.

[Jack2107 46]

I don't think she is on a K1 visa I believe she got married in the USA and then applied for AOS

If this is the case then try and get back to the states for your interview

[Pedrita 21]

Jack2107 is right. I am not on a K-1. I've been married to a U.S. Citzen for 10 months now and was living in VA. That's why I thought about the possibility of getting a Boarding Foil from the Embassy. I don't know, anything to get me back to my husband.

You need to talk to your husband because he's the one that is going to get you back into the country. Chances are he's going to have to apply for a C1, even if you got married in the US and currently have an AOS case up, they don't have to let you back in because you really were not suppose to leave without knowing the reprocussions. You're considered legal in the country while the AOS in the country is going as long as you're also in the US. If you leave the US you forfeit that protection given to you during processing.

The airlines wont allow you on a flight without the proper docs to enter the US

Did you not discuss this with your husband or call immigration to find out B4

leaving? You will have to start over...the I 130 should be still active.

IF, a big IF you somehow got on a flight, upon arriving you would have probs

you may have to file a paper with DHS/ICE (big maybe) and your husband would

have to be supportive all the way. you could waste a ticket money......all this is just

a supposition!!!

A simple emergency travel authorization and you would have been able to enter back to the US.

Why on earth did you leave without thinking this through ? Impulsive decisions can carry big consequences in time and money.

Now your husband has to file a CR1 which are slow currently so it may take over a year until you can go back to your husband.

I find it amazing that anyone would just up and leave, and damn the consequences of not being able to be with their loved one for, what, up to 18 months these days given the glacial pace at which USCIS is operating?
