I-130 and past K-1

[dant244 0]

I am in the process of filing an I-130. My wife and I were married on a K-1 visa and before we applied for adjustment she left the country - we did not realize you had to have the advance parole before she left. It is better to explain this in a letter and give supporting documentation of the K-1 with the application? Specifically, in question 16 of the form, it asks "Has your relative ever been under immigration procedings?" Is a K-1 immigration proceedings? Thanks for any help.

I'm in the same situation as you. My husband also came over on K1 and we married and an unexpected death in his family he returned home to be with his family and come back. Didnt work out that way. He didnt apply for a travel document either which at that time we didnt know about it well we found out to late. So we have to start again this time with the I130. As for question 16 Has your relative ever been under immigration procedings?" I put no because he wasnt in removal or deported or recission or judicial proceedings. Why did your wife leave the country? I did write up a letter explaning what had happend and why we are now applying for his visa again. Hope that helps some.

dant,

"have [you] ever been under immigration procedings" means 'has the US government ever tried to have you thrown out of the country'.
