  1. There is no delay at this point; you are still well within normal processing time. All you can do is relax and sit back and wait. Try to visit each other if you can.
  2. The instructions on the form are very clear (page 12, part 7): They are not asking this question for sponsorship reasons; they want to know who your family members are. So stepchildren should be listed; there is a box in which you explain the relationship, so you can indicate if this is a biological child or stepchild.
  3. As others have said, you can certainly try if you have the money. The timeline for your EAD approval looks promising, but don't get your hopes up.
  4. You have more than enough evidence, and it might even be too much if it is not organized well. Focus on quality evidence. I was approved without issues with much less evidence than what you listed. Do you mean photocopies of the actual cards? Don't do that! Just the statements are enough; these will show both of your names. No one needs to have the full card information unless you want to pay them. If you want to include pictures (not necessary, but you can), just pick a few that cover the span of your marriage. With all the other evidence you have, I really don't think text messages are necessary.
  5. I think evidence of an upcoming trip is very poor evidence. Trips can easily be canceled. Just focus on your past and current relationship evidence, and don't worry about providing evidence for the future.
  6. What's your reason for including this information anyway? You are supposed to provide evidence that you have met in person, not that you plan to go on a trip together in the future. Just don't include any of this and focus on your evidence of actually having met in person.
  7. But you are currently working, aren't you? The income requirements for a household of 3 really are not very high, and most people who work full-time are able to meet this requirement. If you have had this job for your brother-in-law for 5 months and can show paystubs, you can calculate what your annual income will be and use that. I am assuming that your brother-in-law will be able to provide an income verification letter.
  8. This is not how it works. Your spouse will not be issued a green card in her home country, and the green card does not get stamped. She will receive an immigrant visa that she will use to enter the country, and after paying the immigrant visa fee her green card will be mailed to her in the US. If you want to make sure she is eligible to receive a 10-year green card, postpone the initial entry until after your 2-year anniversary. Trying to get CBP to ignore the visa in her passport and just let her visit as a tourist is very unlikely to succeed.
  9. It's too bad that you didn't come here to ask these questions before filing... If being able to work soon after marriage is important, the CR-1 would have been a much better option. He will now have a long wait for the EAD, while with a CR-1 visa he would have been able to work immediately.
  10. This is not how the I-864 works. Please read the instructions to understand what you signed: You are not obligated to keep her at a certain income level. You are, however, obligated to support her if it becomes necessary. If you think she may end up having to rely on public benefits, then you will want to support her financially to prevent that from happening. But keep in mind, the I-864 is a contract between you and the Government, not between you and her. It won't hurt to discuss your situation with an attorney and see what they recommend, but I definitely would not just pay her what she is asking for.
  11. Don't overthink it, and just answer the questions. If they want to know more, they will ask. She was never legally married, so she is single. Her children were born out of wedlock. If she is asked if she has permission from the children's other parent to emigrate with the children, the death certificate may be helpful to show that she now has full custody.
  12. If you can get a written job offer, you can use that to request an expedite for your EAD with USCIS. Please note that if you want to contact a Congressman, you technically are not one of their constituents yet; their constituents are US citizens and to some extent LPRs, and you aren't yet. Your US Citizen spouse will need to contact them. Some Congressmen are more strict about this than others.
  13. Because the I-129F is filed on paper instead of online, nothing will automatically appear in your USCIS account. Once you have your case number, you can add your case to your account. Things have been slow over the holidays. I would give it another week or two.
  14. I have read several experiences from people who tried to schedule new appointments and never received a notification about a new appointment, so I would definitely try to do a walk-in. Bring your original interview letter and explain that you were out of state and did not know about your appointment. Hopefully they will be able to do your biometrics. You don't want to get denied while you are out of the country.
  15. It's only been a few weeks and there was a major Holiday. Relax and be patient.
