Anne Sacoolas' legal representative, Amy Jeffress, said she would "continue to cooperate with the investigation".
Mrs Sacoolas, 42, left for the US under diplomatic immunity despite being a suspect in the crash with Mr Dunn, 19, in Northamptonshire on 27 August.
But the Foreign Office said, having gone home, she no longer has immunity.
A statement issued on behalf of Mrs Sacoolas, whose husband worked at RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire, said: "Anne is devastated by this tragic accident.

Second, if she was truly remorseful, she never would have left the UK.

(8,144 posts)3. No immunity for manslaughter, murder one or two, sex crimes, domestic abuse, any violent crime.
These folks already have access to powerful lawyers, resources to fight charges, and if punished, will not serve time in hard-core prisons.
I suppose immunity protects against draconian laws in countries that imprison and torture for
littering and against political frame-ups, retaliation, an ambassador or her family members rounded up asa threat in a coup.
Must be a remedy so immunity is not a blanket get out of jail free card no matter how bad the criminal act is.
You would think for her souls peace, she would want to face the music. No soul, I suspect.
