If my wife must leave due to any family emergency that may arise, at what point in the visa process is this advisable? In other words, if she leaves after our 1-130 is filed are we penalized?
Thanks, Andy

Your wife can leave any time after the I-130 is filed.

Wow, how disappointing that must be. I wish you had posted when you'd first joined!
Now, I am wondering where your application and all your sensitive documents went.

Did you use the special London checklist? I recommend that you start with this page: http://london.usembassy.gov/dhs/uscis/i130filing.html

How do I file the petition?

Download and utilize the following checklists to file your I-130; they contain easy-to-follow detailed instructions.
