How I can revalidate my fiancee K1 visa?

[Enigma11561 336]

My concern is a bit different. You both spent a lot of time and money to go thru the K1 process. You were married about 2 weeks after arrival but had such a blow out argument that she left and flew back home. That must have been something you guys might not have discussed before .And it is a pretty severe reaction. It's not like you had to spend the night on the couch. You say you have reconciled. But you now have to repeat the process all over again for the spousal visa. If you intend to go thru the time and money a second time,please make sure all your differences are ironed out before you even start.

Some couples run into the reality of what it's like to actually live with the person that they have been dating long distance. The problem is, a lot of times visitations end up becoming more like vacations, they lack the reality of what life actually is in the household. But I agree, the normal reaction isn't to just leave and fly away. I'm also curious as to what the argument was over, unless she's being over dramatic I can only think of so many things that would just... make me leave the country completely. 

They may have reconciled simply because they were back to how things were before everything. Back long distance, back in their respective countries and things are "normal" again. Things will always be less rocky when they get back to "normal".

I would say visit as much as possible in the future while waiting for the CR-1, do not treat these visits like vacations. Who ever visits needs to come into the house as it would be as if they were living there. No going out, or canceling say dr appointments or do less errands, it needs to mirror what every day life would be.

Is there a way I can revalidate her K1 visa so she can come back to USA?  What is the process?

The good thing is if she comes in on the CR1 spousal visa she instantly gets her green card ( About 3 weeks or so after entry) she will be able to work right away, and you won't have to mess with removal of conditions. So, at least there's that. Ohh! and no AOS either!

Like other users have mentioned the IR-1/CR-1 visa is the best route. For the future: inform your wife that if she leaves the US for a long time or DHS determines that she abandoned permanent residence it complicates her green card status.
