US Immigration from Canada

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I haven't been on here in a while, I do apologize for my lack of activity.

I have some questions as my fiance and I are planning to wed next month and submit the I-130 application.

1) Is it okay if we both keep our own last names? She is going to eventually take my last name when we have a bigger wedding with family once I (Canadian) move to the US. I am worried that if she keeps her last name during the time of application, that they may look at it as not bona fide.

2) We are likely to file online. In terms of file-formatting, can we compile all the required documents (e.g. marriage certificate, birth certificate, passport photos, and evidences) all in ONE document (pdf)? or do they need to be in their own separate pdf files?

2a) Also, these documents (Especially the certificates and/or passports) they can simply be scanned electronically onto a computer correct? I don't need to submit them physically in the mail or anything?

3) Does anyone have a rough idea how long it would take for the whole CR1 Visa process for immigrant spouse (US spouse petitioning for Canadian spouse) during this time?

4) Should these evidences suffice?

We have many photos together from when I visited in February, plus more that we will take when I return next month. I have photos/proof of letters, gifts, and money i've sent to her. I also added her as an authorized user to my US credit card which she has a copy of (i am trying to get a document showing both our names). I will also include my plane tickets for when I travelled there. We also skype every single day, and keep skype on as we sleep (usually they are 10-18 hour skype calls daily) - so I was thinking of including a log showing a sample of this.

4 a) is there a limit on how many evidences or pages of evidences that we can include?

Thank you all for your help.

Best regards,

Mel

Back in 2017 I have filed i-130 for my unmarried child (over 21) receipt date Sept 11, 2017. I live on the West coast (California) and she is on East Coast (Canada). Today I have received a letter from USCIS that "they have a preliminary review of the application and have transferred my i-130 file to USCIS center in Vermont". I have two questions:

1) Would this application loose it's turn in line and start fresh from May 27 2020

2) (I checked today timeline for Vermont Center and it is showing that they are looking at April 20, 2014) Does that mean that it will take 3 more years moving forward to get an interview.

If someone has some experience/feedback that will be appreciated.

Thanks,

THANK GOODNESS certain professional athletes are now exempt from the proclamation and able to be issued visas...definitely deserving of mission-critical status.

My husband and I are filing form I-130 online and there is a question I am stumped on. I just wanted a little clarification on what everyone else did in regards to putting your current address in the question, "Where have you lived during the last 5 years?" And what you put under the end date?

I have completed that portion out for the most part, however I'm trying to add my husband's (USC) current address and when filling out the date portion, I am unable to put "present" as it requires a proper end date. So I was wondering if it's necessary for me to mention the current address in that specific question. Right before this question, they do ask for his current address but don't ask anything about since when he's been at that address.

Does this mean I then STILL can't get a driver's license, open a bank account or apply for a credit card?

Ughh... this process is sooooo hurdley ever step of the way.
