1. sounds like you 2 should stay put. where you are. and forget all about this. this never happened.
2. my (i-130) petition for my husband has also been approved but that is the first step. you must be able to sponsor him/her financially or know someone who can help because if you cant he/she will be denied and they will not be allowed to enter or live in America. I am having trouble sponsoring my husband and he may not ever be able to be here with me but what can I do. They said it would take about six months to get approved or denied and it has only taken me 2 months. After the approval your case goes to the national visa center. I will ask ALLAH to bless you and help you and your wife. I also will ask ALLAH to help me find someone who is willing to co-sponsor my husband with me. I wish you and your wife the best of luck. please feel free to email me and i can let you know everything that i have learned about the process ok. b_ali_1970@yahoo.com May ALLAH the God bless you.
3. Depends on if you are inside or outside the US, whether you came into the country legally or illegally, whether your spouse is a us citizen or lawful permanent resident, how long you have been married, how much income the sponsor produces, what state the sponsor lives in, among other things. You need to talk to an attorney.
