Left country with AOS pending, must now apply for CR1

[AP16 30]

Hello folks. I think the title is self explanatory. Will leaving the country in the middle of AOS being processed cause me trouble when applying for CR1? I don't think I did anything wrong, although I know my current AOS application is considered abandoned.

 

OBS.: Please don't judge. I had to leave on short notice for personal reasons.

the officer will probably ask, just explain why and start over from scratch

You mean at the interview right?

[aleful 1,905]

yes of course

 

the officer at the interview will have your file with your petition started in the US, he or she could ask you why. it is possible

Yeah, he probably will. 

Well, I have no problem answering that. My plan is to live here in my country with my wife for a bit and then apply for CR1 through DCF.

This depends on two things.  If you've already done your biometrics, your spouse can send the EAD card with Advance Parole noted on it.  Then, you only have to worry about getting back for the AOS interview.  Just don't try to come back until the Advance Parole is in hand.

 

If you left before doing the biometrics, then starting over is what you do.  Just explain, as needed and no problem.

We never applied for AP. I have my EAD Card with me, but not valid for reentry. The solution will really be to start over.
