US Immigration from Australia

Hello, my fiance are getting ready to submit our I-129F petition. I am aware we must get married upon his entry to the United States. I was under the impression that once we get married he can stay in the US with me. However, I just read that the Adjustment of Status can take 4-6 months so does that mean he has to go back to Australia after marriage? If this is the case I am very worried about wait times to be together.

I am going to be in Australia in August. Should we just get married and do the spousal visa then? Would that be quicker? Anything helps. Thanks.

Hi all! I have a couple questions I would love your input on...

First of all to give you some background, my conditional green card is due to expire in March 2023. I am planing to go to Australia for a few months in July to see my family who I have not seen since pre-covid.

1. Do I have to be in the US to file ROC? (Sorry if this seems like a silly question)

2. Do all ROC require biometrics, if so how long after filing does this usually get scheduled?

3. Do all ROC require an interview?

4. Lastly I will return to America to lodge my ROC if needed. But after I receive my extension letter can I return to Australia?

Thank you!!!

We are trying to decipher how to file for a visa for my step child. I am the U S citizen, my husband has his green card and his daughter is under 21 and was 15 when we married. We would like to bring her here from Australia. If I am reading correctly, since she is under 21 and I am her legal step parent, I can apply for an immediate visa for her as a US citizen? Has anyone gone through this that could give us some advise on the best way to go?

My wife and I filed the 130 and 130a visa so we can get the process rolling on us moving over to America, but we only recieved a reciept from the consulate for a 130..is that ok? Is the 130a supplemental? Should we have gotten 2 receipts?
