US Immigration from Uzbekistan

I'm a US citizen getting married soon in the country Georgia with my fianc who is a citizen of Uzbekistan. We plan to start the CR-1 application process shortly after that, and I wanted to know how many copies of the marriage certificate you would recommend we request from the Georgian Public Service Hall? A single translated copy with an apostille costs around $50, and each additional certified copy costs another $10. We'll be leaving Georgia after the wedding, so we don't want to have to come back here just for the purpose of issuing additional copies in the future.

More context: I'm still learning about the CR-1 process but I know there are a lot of stages (USCIS, NVC, Embassy Interview) and I imagine that once we arrive in the United States we might be asked to present marriage certificates for various other bureaucratic purposes too (bank accounts, insurance, etc.) I just don't know if the tendency among the authorities in the US is to take the original certified copy and keep it for themselves, if they usually return it after verifying it's authenticity, or if they typically just accept photocopies.

Hello!

Is there anyone who has recent experience with US Embassy in Uzbekistan?

Our DQ date is September 3rd 2022. We're waiting more than 2 months now to get IL but nothing yet.

I'm wondering if somebody had or has the same situation. How long to wait more? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Similarly, my boyfriend and I are wondering best place to apply - he is an Uzbek citizen on a student visa in South Korea; we met in school, but I'm back in the US now. He will graduate in January 2023 and apply for Korean D10 visa - "looking for work" visa - and hopefully find work there while we apply for US K1. Can we apply for his K1 through the SK/US consulate, and interview there? How do we document/verify his SK visa status change over time, in a way that doesn't negatively impact our US K1 application?

Hi Guys,

So the i-824 form that we filed for approved i-130 form for my brother, was sent to CBP instead of USCIS. It is so messed up because I scared that CBP will get the check, and reject the application instead of returning. I tried to call USPS to reroute or stop the package delivery, they are saying, you cant do anything since the label just created. Do you know what to do in this case? Do you know what will CBP do with my application? Please, I am open to any suggestions. Thank you

Hi friends,

I hope your cases are going well. Im in a need of desperate advice from you guys. So, my mom has filed i-130 for my married sister, and recently we have received a letter requesting evidence about her birth certificate. And before the letter ends, it also says:

" INDICATE WHETHER BENEFICIARY WILL PROCESS OVERSEAS OR ADJUST STATUS IN THE U.S.

Your petition indicates that the beneficiary will both apply for the visa at an overseas consulate or embassy and adjust status in the United States. If your petition is approved and you have not indicated an option, USCIS will retain the case. If the beneficiary applies for the visa overseas, they may be required to file form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with fee, to have the petition mailed overseas."

Basically, a person who filed i-130 for my mom, chose two options like to apply overseas and adjust status in the US. Thus, USCIS is unsure which one of them we want and asking us to indicate. How should I indicate? Should I file i-824 while my i-130 is still pending? I don't see any other ways of indication. Please, help me with it if you have been in such situation or know the solution. I greatly appreciate your efforts!

Best,

Lily
