Thanks for your reply. She has a 10 yr greencard.

Hello, My wife (greencard holder) and I (us citizen) have been living abroad for the past 21 months due to my work. Before leaving I filed paperwork for a re-entry permit. Unfortunately that request was denied because it was received 3 days after we had left the USA. I believe there are two options: 1. Apply for SB1 return visa at the consulate...her reason for being outside would be my work abroad. It takes a lot of time and resources (medical check again, etc..) to go through 2. Travel to USA and explain the situation to the immigration officer. We have a home still in the USA, as well as bank accounts, etc. We also have a US citizen 5 yr old son. I am hoping to get any comments here on the effort it takes for getting a SB1 return visa. I would also love to hear the cons for option 2: would they send her back given her situation or give us a court date to explain the situation to a judge? Any wisdom/advice is appreciated.
