So in the above set of instructions - you are between 3 and 4. You have to complete the I-824 and pay the fees as others have said. How did you originally submit your case - online or by mail? The situation are likely in is that you on the I-130 form, in part 4 - you would have answered BOTH 61 a/b AND 62 a/b/c. If you have a copy of your submission (I know when you submit online they usually send you a .pdf?) and you DID NOT check both of the boxes, then you could reach out and indicate that USCIS made an error. I do know others where they DID NOT check both of these boxes and were successful in NOT filing the I-824 and had their case move on to the NVC. If you did in fact, answer both of those, then you would have to file it as others have indicated.

when the passport is "sent away: for the visa it's maybe gone for a week or two. You wouldn't plan on then leaving the country on a different passport and then returning a week later to get the passport with the visa in it?

You don't apply for either - you just submit off the I-130 for your spouse -- the visa you get is based on the length of marriage when your spouse enters the US. I hope you haven't waited all this time thinking it was based on length of marriage at time of petition!

I've been a nurse for a very long time - there are medications that someone can take who is NOT HIV+ to prevent them from becoming HIV+. If you are sexually intimate with your partner, it's very important that they know and understand this so they can protect their own health. In addition, there are 10 states in the US where it's a crime to NOT let a sexual partner know that you are HIV+. It's no longer the stigma it once was - there are many free clinics in the US and with proper medication, your healthcare and your partners are both protected - but I cannot in good conscience imagine entering into a relationship without your partner knowing. You can do your interview in Norway or any country that you have legal residency in (i.e. you can't just be a tourist in Norway)

the CR1 / IR1 does not have the name of the petitioner. And why are you assuming this person is a "he"?

So this person messaged me with the same on FB yesterday. He says that his parents are elderly and live 4 hours from Cairo and in Egypt you have to sign the paperwork there and it wasn't a "wedding" in Cairo, they were just signing papers which he explained during the interview. He said that she has been there with him 3 times and that he felt confident about all the questions they asked at the interview. I asked him if they had chat logs/phone logs that they just did not submit and he did not say. He told me that the photos were regular pics - taken at the pyramids, with family, at McDonalds, just wherever. I asked him to have his wife message me and I would try to give some basic suggestions (include more of the chat logs, write down all the questions they asked at the interiew to the best of his recollection and how he answered them) but the wife did not message me.

On our Morocco/US visa group - K1 interviews are taking about 6-8 months. People who received their NOA2 for K1 interviews last November have interviews scheduled for late July. Medicals are often after that. Maybe this was an auto generated email response not updated for awhile.

My husband (also Moroccan) and I had a similar experience. We went to the interview, about 3 hours drive from where we live and it was something about the 10 year green card file not being received yet (unlike you he had not received his). We reached out to the senator's office, got the 10 year green card a month later, and his N400 interview a few months after that. Inshallah yours will be going through soon.

Not that you keep wanting to apply over and over and over but if you could get some estimates of how much surgery/treatment would be either in Gambia, or in a country that he can travel to easily - and it would likely be an exorbitant amount of course - you could try based on your financial hardship for needing to help pay for this (presuming he is not able to work with this type of injury). As a nurse - I'm presuming you mean a brachial injury? If you are going to do try to do this I would also how how your insurance will cover this upon his entry to the US and proof of overseas cost. It may, of course, still be a no - but technically you would be applying for financial hardship to help him pay for this, not because of this injury.
