Traveling to the US on an ESTA Visa with pending CR1 application.

Hello,

Back in March of 2022 my now wife visited me on an ESTA for 89 days and during that time we got married without any previous plans to do so. She returned to Sweden and we sent in our application for a CR1 visa, however over the last few days we have found that some are able to travel to the US again on an ESTA while the application is processing. We want to avoid doing anything that will cause issues in the future with our application process so I just had a few questions. Any answers or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Would her visiting me for a few weeks on an ESTA while our application is pending put up any red flags with immigration?

What would be a good form of proof that she does in fact intend to return to her home country again other than a return ticket?

Thanks!

i130 - Previous petition

I'm doing a petition for my sister who lives in a different country.
I'm just starting her i130 application.
It does have a question in the online form: "Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?"

I started my parents immigrant visa petition 2018 and they got their interview in 10 days (without a doubt they will be approved).
I'm assuming I'm supposed to answer Yes on question above huh?

The thing is, when I press "Yes", it says: "You have selected that you have previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien. Provide information on each petition you have filed in this section."
And it only allows me to fill out 1 person first name and last name and if the status was approved, denied or withdrawn.

Do you guys think I should just ignore this part? Or put BOTH my parents name?
Should I put Pending ? Or approved?

THANK YOU!!!

Sibling, which is faster?

I'm a US citizen and my parents just got their immigrant Visa interview in 10 days.

I was thinking of doing a petition for my sibling. It says online it takes 10 years but someone told me it might be 20 years.

I honestly do not understand
My question is, will it be faster if my parents do a petition for my brother when they have their greencard VS ME doing a petition?
Also my parents have low income pension from Sweden. They do have few assets in Swe but I was thinking about putting my self down as affidavit of support in their application.
But regardless, I'm still not sure which will be faster.

I looked at timelines on this site and online and do not understand ANY of it :/

Any advice?
Thank you.

My fiancee can't remember every job she's had in the last 5 years

My fiancee (who is a US citizen) and I are filing the I-129F form but we're stuck on the part where she is supposed to fill out her employment history for the last 5 years. She has had 1 job for the past year but prior to this job, she had a bunch of short term jobs where she stayed for a few weeks-months. The problem is, she doesn t remember every place she has worked at nor does she remember the exact dates.

How important is this? Does the employment history have to be 100% correct or is it okay if she misses to list a couple of short term jobs? It was all warehouse jobs or fast food jobs btw.

Visa & Greencard?

I know it looks like a lot, but the questions are pretty simply guys. Sorry for the trouble.

I've done a petition for my parents to bring them to USA.
i130 & i867 which I THOUGHT would be an instant greencard if/once approved.

1)
But it seems they are getting a visa
So, this is not a greencard interview, it's a VISA interview am I understanding this correctly?

2)
So the interview they got at the embassy, is that a good sign? Does this mean it's as good as approved (IF the paperwork are all done and correct) ?

3)
Also, since it's not a marriage based petition (Where they have to prove marriage is real), and since they have ALL papers and evidence that I'm their son etc, will they still grill them with question ? or it's just a formality and gather all documents? I'm just wondering if they are going to be bunch of questions

4)
So if it IS a visa application, is it wise for them to say that they are moving to US? Or should they say that they're only visiting and IF move only they get their greencard?
I'm just not understanding I didn't apply for a visa for them to visit, I went through immigration to do a petition for them to actually move :S

5)
So when they get to US using their visa, can they apply for greencard right away?
If so, what form will I be filling?

6)
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/STK-Stockholm.html#medical_exam_instructions

Above link states:
"Original or certified copies of birth certificates for all children of the principal applicant (even if he or she is not accompanying)."

Of course they need MY birthceritificate.

Though it doesn't make sense for them to bring birth certificate for ALL my siblings who are not in the petition even, it does state ALL children, right?

Thank you !!!!!!!
