I submitted photos.. from that list. And the regular marriage certificate etc etc.

 

Heres my situation.

 

Meetings: i did not meet my wife until we got married (we chatted, talked face timed)

 

Courtship: whatsapp msgs, facebook, whatsapp calls.

 

Relationship: gift cards, chats, online calls.

 

Travel: i only went to the country once when i was getting married. My mother traveled with me.

 

Photos: i have alot of wedding day photos and post wedding day photos.

 

Wedding: there was no wedding announcement or invitation cards.

 

Her parents are deceased so they were not in the wedding (ofcourse). Her brother arranged the wedding there

One more thing to submit is an affidavit from someone close to you who attended the wedding basically stating the details of the wedding.

Yeah i just hope i put togrther everything nicely. I will have to come with so many explanations. Plus i did not live with my wife for more than a week so i dont have alot of things they are asking. I do not want to give them my personal chat messages plus they are not in english. You know what i am saying

Try to visit her before her visa interview so as to earn more points.

Mine is a pivot case...I submitted all docs a week ago. 3 days later they messaged me that one of my docs needed to be corrected (needed to be scanned portrait, not landscape). So I fixed it that day. Now just waiting.

I been read this thread from past 1 year. I'm glad to say my journey came to an end for 1st Green Card.

I applied I130 and I485 Concurrent filing

 

 Waited for more than 90 days for EAD, it was around 120 days. It came with an AP.

 Interview was on schedule on Mar 21st, 2018 after a frustrating long wait

There are countless times i used to check processing times, forums etc

On Interview day,
Documents  i took was new i94, passport, birth certificates, photos, new Medical examination (i submitted one before), lease, bank statements, beneficiary docs, insurance docs, child birth certificate.
I was 15 mins before interview, registered with front desk, waited for 10 mins before interview began.
I took my two kids to interview with me (if you have kids please do take them, it's easier for officer to understand you relationship when they can see how you handle kids).
First office swore us both. Asked me and my fiance details like names, dob, my social, address. he asked me for DL,passport, child BC, EAD.
He went through yes or no questions. And question for Are you cited by an law officer ? i asked him if traffic violation counts, he said no.
Thats it. He said he had enough documents. I asked him if he need any additional docs, he said absolutely NONE. however i mentioned my new medical examination which he took and said thank you.
He said to expect result in 4-6 weeks.

I was worried once again after going through forums where people are waiting weeks, years.
My case was not updated. I received a letter for I130 approval but online it showed Nothing.
but then came across some forum saying online status dont update properly, then asked me to register at my.uscis.gov account which is different from case status account/online status.
To my surprise i have the whole history there which said they mailed my card. I received my card today,

Thank you everyone, i hope everyone gets it..

BE PATIENT, DON'T LOOSE HOPE. ITS ALL WORTH IN THE END.

Please ask questions if you want to know more in detail
