Those rules are published all over the place.  
 

Well we were gone awhile and waited 2 years 6 months then applied.

Best case (assuming she stays married) she can do that.  

If they maintained their residence/bank/etc  in the US then it’s really the subjective decision of whoever reviews the case and what mood they’re in but my call is she should collect her evidence of unbroken ties and file.

This document says a year or more, possibly after 6 months.  Proof:  Lease, drivers license, banking, credit cards, mobile accounts, car insurance/registration, etc.

This is very helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to share.

 

Can she still travel in the mean time outside the US for short trips of less than 1 or 2 months?

Nothing in the rules says she cant

 

There’s a total physical presence requirement that she won’t escape if she’s bouncing in for a few days then staying out weeks at a time

Ok cool, thank you!

 

She is gathering her evidence based on the list you kindly shared and more. We will start the application process next week and hope for the best 🙏.
