US Immigration from Chile

Hello! I am a Chilean national living in Shanghai, China. My CR-1 interview will be taking place on September 23 in the Guangzhou consulate. Since I have to fly back to Shanghai after my interview and I am a foreign national here, I won't be able to leave my passport with the consulate because I need to to fly. Instead, my understanding is I would mail it to them once I'm back. Here's my dilemma: I have a domestic trip scheduled the week after (October 2-5) and I will need my passport to travel. Could I mail them back my passport once I am back from that trip? I am in no huge rush for my visa provided I get it back before my medical expires (February 2021), since I don't plan on leaving Shanghai until I finish my work contract here in January. But, would I be jeopardizing anything by holding off on sending the Guangzhou consulate my passport (it would be an ~12 day delay)? Should I cancel my trip so I can send it to them immediately?

Thank you in advance!

My wife just got her visa package back from the embassy. She opened the DHL packet and there's a sealed manilla envelope and a generic sheet on the front.

She was able to feel that her passport is inside the sealed envelope. But how is she supposed to travel if the envelope can't be opened? And how are we supposed to pay the fee without having the letter with her dos number?

Anyone else ever experience this issue? Are we missing something?

Hi,

I am about to send in an I-485 + I-130 application for change of status.

In the step by step guide for filing I-130 on this web site it says:

Hello!

I am getting ready for my interview on September 23rd at the Guangzhou Consulate in China.

I was wondering - should I add more evidence to what we already submitted a year ago on our I-130? We have more call logs, texts, and some new photos (not as many because of COVID and cancelled visits). Additionally, there is more correspondence between me and my husband's family and my husband with mine. We've also bought each other gifts in the past year and have receipts we can present.

I'm asking because our original evidence of a bona fide marriage packet was 76 pages long with proof of relationship. Is adding more worth it/necessary?

Thanks in advance!
