We were discussing me moving back about 8 months into filing the I-130 just to get sorted. I've made sure to keep my US bank account open and kept my driver license up to date just in case this happened so that helps. I've filed last year's taxes but not the year before so I'll need to catch up on that based on another response here. Thank so you much for taking time to answer! Thank you for clarifying! Turns me off of using boundless just on this information alone.

Hi all! I feel like I have read and re-read everything, gone through the guides, and even thought about just using a service such as Boundless because I am a confused and emotional mess. I feel like i'm reading and I cannot process anything i've read and im just hoping someone can break it down to where I can finally understand what the heck we need to do. I (USC) and my spouse (UKC) both reside in the UK at the moment. We have been married for 7 years and I have been living with him in the UK for 3.5 years. I want to go home DESPERATELY. This is the information i've gathered so far: I know an I-130 needs to be submitted. I know I will need a sponsor and we have someone willing to do that for us. I know that it will take about a year which is really hard for me to accept since I just want to be back in the states but I am not willing to be apart from my spouse. We spent the first years of our marriage apart and I don't wish to do that again. That's it. That is all my brain has absorbed and I get so overwhelmed trying to sort through everything. The US to UK visas were so easy in comparison so I feel stuck. anyway.. this is partly a plea for help and partly a rant. Where do we start? Is an immigration service or lawyer even necessary? Is DCF an option if we need a sponsor? I've read that's for those that have a job offer in hand and need to get back to the states quickly? I spoke to a representive at Boundless and they said that I will not need to submit 3 years of tax filings if we have a sponsor. Instead, the sponsor must provide that. How true is this? Any help is welcome. Even if it's just telling me to calm down 🙃
