Applying for greencard while abroad.

[jebckr]

I am having a little trouble with this and would like clarification before making a trip to the embassy. They do not have a phone number I can call for general inquires and they don't respond to emails.

So, I am an American citizen and my wife is a Korean citizen. We currently live in Korea. We are legally married in both Korea and the United States. We have the marriage license on hand. I have already adjusted my visa status in Korea (to F6). Our next step is to get my wife her green card. I know we need to set up an appointment with the US embassy, but since I can't get information from them, I don't know what I need to have with me when we go.

Feel free to walk me through it like I'm 6 years old. It would be very much appreiciated.

Your wife cannot get a Green Card while abroad. She has to apply for a spousal visa, using form I-130, submitted to USCIS, Stateside, unless the U.S. Embassy allows a DCF (Direct Consular Submittal).
