US Immigration from Egypt

Hello,

When submitting the I-130 for my wife, I chose Cairo as that consulate that her application will be sent to. A lawyer told me that we can change this to another country once the I-130(Thailand) in hopes to minimize the NVC/Interview process time.

Is there any legal implication in doing this? I was told that there's not (and it sounds legit), but I wanted to double check.

Thanks

Our priority date is current since last July, still waiting for an interview appintment.

Usually how long it takes to schedule interviews for F3? months or years?

Thanks

Hello,

I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer for when looking online.

Me and my husband have been married since 2018. We were married in Egypt and had our marriage certificate notarized while there and it is bilingual and we did everything we could find would be needed while in Egypt. However, next year will be three years that my husband has been living here in the USA with me and he will be able to file for citizenship...

I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do here in the United States to have our marriage certificate documented. Do I need to have anything done with the court/county clerk/etc. to have our marriage documented in the US or receive any kind of documentation from my state recognizing the marriage. Or would our foreign marriage certificate suffice as proof of marriage?

Very confused about this as someone had mentioned they had to receive some type of certificate from the state instead of just their foreign marriage certificate and I can't find anything about this when searching online.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Asking for a friend of mine. Will they ask for a bank statement from the U.S citizen? And if yes, what is the minimum that should be in her bank? Thank you! What if she only has $1000, would that be a problem for her fianc to be accepted in the interview?

Thank you!

What are the steps for purchasing a plane ticket for my fianc e thru the K1 visa. Can we purchase the ticket before she has the actual visa in hand or do we have to wait to have that before booking ticket? Want to try and get ticket as much time in advance to be cheaper. We are in final steps of process and about to do interview. Thanks
