Hello,
My wife was denied her green card in 2010, at which point we left the US before any removal proceedings began and returned to her home country. Now we wish to return to the U.S but are completely unsure of what steps we need to take.
A bit of background info:
We applied for, and were approved for a Fiancee visa while I was serving in the U.S military. We were married after I finished my service (odd timing I know). I could only find work at low wage jobs, so at one point I quit working alltogether and began attending school while her application was still pending. During this time we had 2 children. We did apply for and were granted WIC services while my wife was pregnant, and I did collect unemployment for a time before beginning school. Once I started school, My GI Bill paid all of our bills and we did not use any public services. We contacted a lawyer, but I felt like he was no help to us at all, which is why we left the country to return to her home country.
I did have a co-sponsor on our green card application and all documents may not have been submitted correctly prompting the denial.
So, what is our next move?
A bit of current info:
I currently own a small business in her home country which is mostly cash-based and I only use the banks to pay bills for the business therefore I can't prove any real income on that part. She works a low wage job here.
I'm mostly worried that our finances won't be adequate enough to be approved for anything due to me not having anything in the U.S.
I'm hoping someone here can help me.
Thank you!
