US Immigration from Myanmar

Says:

A copy of your marriage certificate. Note: While a regular copy is allowed, submitting a certified copy is preferred as some members have received an RFE asking for this (so if one is available use that instead).

I do not believe this is consistent with current rough consensus and I believe thousands of VJers have sent photo copies of marriage certificates without an RFE.

Recommended new text:

A photo copy of your marriage certificate.

Asking for someone else who is adjusting status from a K-1 visa. I will call this person Sharon.

Sharon received an RFE for her I-765.

"On Month, XX, 2020, you submitted your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization under category A-03. We need more information from you in order to nacre a decision on your case."

The rest of the two page RFE doesn't actually explain the error. But A-03 is for a refugee. Sharon is not a refugee. She entered the USA as a K-1 fiancee.

Based on my own K-1 wife's EAD, the correct category should have been C-09P.

So my question general question is what is the correct process for Sharon here?

Thanks.

My newborn daughter and I are USC, and my wife is non-USC. We're living in China.

There is an urgent medical reason which is requiring my family and I to move to the US. I would like to apply for an IR1 visa for my wife, via DCF.

I have reached out to the consulate in Guangzhou, our local consulate, and they informed me to submit my request via this link:

https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/visas/immigrant-visas/contact-us/immigrant-visa-unit-question/

In this link I am given 280 characters to explain our situation.

After explaining, I receive the following response:

Dear Petitioner,

Thank you for your inquiry. If you would like to ask Consulate Guangzhou s Immigrant Visa Unit to accept an I-130 for direct filing in Guangzhou, please respond with detailed information about your situation and the background of your petition, why you would like to file directly with the Consulate, and why you are unable to file with USCIS in the United States. A consular officer will evaluate your request and respond.

I responded to the email, and received an automatic reply telling me not to reply to the above email. The body of the message tells me to respond, but the signature tells me don't respond.

I then messaged the consulate via WeChat, asking them what do I put in lieu of a case number, since I don't have any case created yet. (I am trying to get in contact with a consular official to obtain a case number).

They tell me to just put '0'.

So, using 280 characters, I answer the questions asked in the above email reply.

I just received the following response:

How do I get in contact with my consulate to make this request?

I called the emergency phone number, and was told that the number is only for US citizens, and they can't help with visas. But our medical situation relates to our newborn daughter who can't be away from her mother. I am really not sure what to do.

Hi everyone, my conditional green card will be expired on December 9th,2020. When I should apply I-751 and please share any experience about what to and how to prepare the package, thanks in advance.

I petitioned my wife on an IR1. I petitioned her son on an IR2. They are both here now. They have green cards. I have been married to my wife for five years. Her son will be 16 next September. I will complete his adoption next month.

Will he get automatic citizenship? How does that work? What must be done?
