Once you have your CR1/IR1 visa, your first entry to the US will be on that visa. If for some reason CBP do not notice that you have a CR1 and you do get entry on ESTA, I do not know how that will be handled. Your CR1 may be voided. This is an unusual issue and I defer to others' with more knowledge.

Typically there is no email address for a specific office, only the email addresses of the employees that work there. They do not publish direct email addresses. You will need to go through the general USCIS contacts.

I don't see how applying for expedite again would result in a different outcome, but it is free to try. As Boiler mentioned, an expedite does not equal real world "fast". If granted, the time to interview may be 2 months instead if 6, or whatever it will be if your proceed normally. For those 2 months, your fiance will face what he is facing now. It is best to help him get housing locally first.

AP is AP. It takes a few days for paperwork and a variable amount of days to run background checks. For those who have faced long AP, the delay is due to background checks.

Last I checked it took on average 3 months to get scheduled after DQ

If your emails are corrupted, use a different email service as well.

1. What is your country? 2. What stage of the spouse visa process are you in? 3. Are there no other options for completing your degree? 4. Why do you think going to school in China would be an issue for your immigration? Is it a concern for timing or something else?

I vote for option 4: AOS

You have a dilemma. Your MIL doesn't seem to qualify for TPS. You have 3 options: 1. Continue to press for TPS. I think USCIS will deny it and you will need to appeal, if that's alllowed. 2. If you MIL has less than 180 days of unlawful presence, she can travel to Europe and you can petition her under U4U humanitarian parole. I assume she was given 6 months stay starting April 16? If so, her 180 day unlawful stay limit would be around April 10 or 11, 2023. 3. You can help her apply for asylum. Due to the ongoing war, this should work. But because of the 2 other programs - TPS and U4U - USCIS case officer may deny it and refer you to the other programs and put you guys through red tape hell. If it was me, I would go with option 2. But this is not risk free - the ultimate choice is up to you.

Your MIL qualifies for the 2nd part - continual physical presence since April 19, but may not meet the first part - continuous residency since April 11. Try contacting the program director:

+ @jan22 It seems my post was misread "sit dormant (at NVC) until about a year before a visa number becomes available" NOT "sit dormant about a year"

The mother has no path to immigration and no access to survivor benefits, unless she is named on his will. Child may have claims to the father's estate, if he did not have a spouse and no other strong claimers. This is a civil issue and she would need to contact a lawyer.

Your profile and timeline shows K-1 fiance visa. Is this still active? If so, this shows immigrant intent and may hinder her chances of getting an F1 student visa. The school needs to be qualified and will need to accept her and send her some paperwork.

IOE is the receipt number. You can use it to track the petition status on the USCIS website. Processing time is only for the I-130. After the petition is approved, it is sent to the NVC where it will sit dormant until about a year before a visa number becomes available for you. Then you and your mom will need to complete the NVC steps. The entire process is for a family based immigration visa. You do not receive permanent residency until you use the approved immigration visa to travel to the US.

1. Utah zoom wedding or similar 2. CR1/IR1 spouse visa petitioners are not subject to the AWA background checks for K1 petitioners. If you do K1, there is a chance your petition will go to Vermont and take an extra year to process. 3. You can file I-130 for CR1 online. I-129F for K1 needs to be physically mailed. 4. "Unofficial" ceremony may be too married for K1 in the eyes of the consulate. 5. CR1 is just plain better.

Many single moms from the Philippines leave their children in the care of their parents while they go overseas to work or try to immigrate. So, specifically for the Philippines, this absolutely does not indicate she will return. For a K1, the actual requirements are very simple: both parties free to marry (single or divorced), both parties attest they will marry within 90 days of arriving in the US, and both have met physically within the previous 2 years. For other countries, the embassy would also want proof of relationship. For the Philippines, the bare minimum gets approved. This is because although there is a history of people abusing tourist visas to work and immigrate, there is also a history of K1s and CR1s being in genuine relationships and honoring the terms of those visas.

Nope.

You can self sponsor by adding your husband's income on the same I-864 (current annual household income). You will need to provide proof that the income will continue (husband's employer's remote work/ agreement/ documentation). https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf Page 8:

1. Wait. 2. Nothing. The only reason to notify USCIS is if you or your parent want to withdraw the petition. Otherwise, let it proceed to NVC and make changes there. As Boiler pointed out, it is not mandatory to switch from family preference F2B to family preference F1. If NVC changes the category, your brother can email them with a request to remain F2B.

I assume that place has an address?

Current income is applicable. It is a required field.

How does your spouse get mail? If you need to FedEx or DHL something, where do you send it?

I don't see any qualifying reason from what you have posted. I do hope you have submitted for a CRBA for your daughter.

Most of your questions are answered on the USCIS website here: https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-fiancee-of-us-citizen

You schedule your own interview, after completing the DS-160, paying the fee, and using the receipt and NVC case number.
