Thanks guys. Why was I-130 denied the first time?: multiple times I requested them to resend the denial notice, told them about our change of address, but never got it. I just requested they send the denial notice again. Did I file I-485?: I filed the I-485 with the I-130. How many months did she stay in the states after quitting school?: 5 months

She visited the states this summer for six weeks. My question is that if she visits again and stays longer than 90 days, will that hurt her chances of being approved?

Hello everyone, I appreciate in advance any help you can give us. I met my wife in the states while she was here on a student visa. We got married and she stopped going to school around that time and she stayed in the states for several months after that. We sent in the I-130 but then made a decision to move to her country for a few years to have our baby. We never heard back from USCIS. I could not get through on the phone. I checked the website and they said she had been denied and had sent the reason why to our former American address at a big apartment complex. I requested them to send to our Korean address but got nothing. I spoke to someone later on the phone at USCIS who said that info was only available for one year. I chose to move by myself to the states due to mental problems and a career change and applied in Oct 2022 for my wife's I-130 again. My wife and two kids are in her country. The site said it would take 16 months, but now it gives no time estimate. We are tired of waiting. Can my wife come to the states on a tourist visa and just overstay her visa or something? Don't want her to be denied again, but we are so tired of being apart.
