US Immigration from Taiwan

Hey Everyone!

I'm a US citizen living in the United States and about to travel to Taiwan to marry my fiancee for the purpose of doing the CR-1 spouse visa for her to move to the US with me. After we get married, I will go back to the US. She also has about a 2 month vacation coming up and will plan to visit me in the US and then travel back to Taiwan.

When she's in the US on a temporary visa, is it ok then to begin and submit the CR-1 application (Form I-130)? I ask because I'm not sure if it matters if she has to be in Taiwan before form I-130 is submitted.

Today, wife received a summons for jury duty in Dallas County, Texas. My research shows that Dallas County has a "one day/one trial" system. If she is not selected for a court by 4:30pm on her first day of service, she will be dismissed. This is very different from my experience (in another state) about 20 years ago. I seem to remember being on standby for 6 months. Anyway, this will be an experience for my wife, the new citizen.

12/06/2023 I filed my I-751. I did not receive my receipt notice which indicates extending my green card for 48 months since then.
However, I received the account acceptance notice, and biometrics reuse notice after a few weeks.

I activated my online account. I checked the information on my online account, and it showed that all the documents were sent on December 13, including the receipt notice. I waited for a few months. However, I did not receive the receipt notice since then!

05/28/2024 I called USCIS contact center and told the lady about not receiving the receipt notice for extending my green card. The lady told me that they would have an immigration officer calling me back in 30 days. I have not gotten any phone calls from them.

05/29/2024 I made a case inquiry online requesting them to re-send my receipt notice.

06/03/2024 I have received a mail from the USCIS. However, they sent me the account acceptance notice, not the receipt notice that I requested! I was very disappointed, as I had to delay my trip.

On the same day, I called the USCIS contact center again to request for the receipt notice. The operator told me that she could not make another case inquiry, as we need to wait for 30 days to make another one. She also mentioned that she would send a request for an ADIT stamp for us. Then, the immigration officer would call back in 30 days.

It is frustrating to me, as I have to delay my international travel and now I am not sure if I will be able to get an ADIT stamp in time to prove my legal status in the US. USCIS made a mistake, but I could only keep waiting for them to respond. What else could I do?

A Neighbor just sent her I-485 package a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, they received an RFE for the I-864 income. Would you use adequate assets to resubmit...or would you get a qualified joint sponsor with spouse? Why?
