Hi, married in 2006 I filed a visa for my hubby then and he got a green card (he is from the UK). We stayed in the USA from 2008 until 2010 and came back to the UK.. since he overstayed a year we have to file again. I Just submitted the I130 last week. I Just have 2 questions. First... will they frown upon this since we decided to move back again? and second... do I have to stay in the UK during all this or can i go back to the USA and wait? The reason is I think I could have a job opening up for me and I dont to lose it. Any advice would be so great as the stress of all this has really been affecting me. Thanks so much ...

Not necessarily. Have a consultation with an immigration lawyer. Being out over a year doesn't necessarily mean he abandoned his PR status.

Oops, already got the ball rolling, I see.

No.

Once the I-130 has been accepted in London and payment has been taken from your account, you can return to the USA.

Thanks so much.. Hopefully the approval wont take long (if we get it) and hopefully I get this job... would make life alot easier for now

A typical I-130 filed in London doesn't take too long for approval. The whole thing from start to finish (filing I-130 to visa interview) should only take 3 or 4 months.
