    At this stage the worst is over, you passed your interview. Once they issue your visa they will email you as to how they are making provisions for you to pick it up or receive it via courier.

    I think you follow what it says, send both if applicable.

    I think you should just get married and file for a spousal visa using a sponsor. Its way cheaper.

    If you were married that whole time then she should have filed married, all she needs to do is apply for you to have an ITIN and the amend the filings.

    Given a choice the CR1 is far cheaper than the K1, if money is not an issue then it's up to you.

    My husband just arrived here about one year ago and has his 10 year VISA and honestly we are not worried about any of that.....I honestly believe that they have many other battles to fight in the undocumented immigrant front to worry about anyone who entered the US legally and also has status.

    Please understand that the the very experienced people here giving you advice, they are doing it based on their vast years of experience, and they honestly want the best for you and your experience in whatever VISA you eventually apply for. It may not be what you want to hear but believe me that their advice is money in the bank for a successful VISA Journey. Their advice is invaluable.

    Whatever your experience was with Chicago to arrive at the Agent , (where you present your visa and package) was in your prior visits, it will be the same, then add at least one more hour when they take you to their offices, open the package and give you a brief interview, so your 4 hour window seems good.

    She will be teaching 18 weeks, you will be lucky if you get your application approved in 52 weeks, I think you do not have to worry about the timeline vs her teaching responsibilities.

    I agree with the comments, my fiance brought all kinds of pics and other items to his interview, when he entered the interview area the person there asked for very specific items/forms and said all else they did not need to see it. Once he was actually interviewed by the agent, outside of questions that were asked, no further evidence was requested. Two years later when we went through the process again for the spousal visa, we only brought what was requested and not a single page more. Good luck.

    i am a neat freak as well, and when it came time for my spouse K-1 interview, I prepared all the evidence in clear plastic folders and sent it via Fedex at a cost of over $300.00 for the package. Once at the interview they asked for only 3 sheets of what he brought. The next time for the US Embassy interview, for the spousal visa, whatever I needed to send from the US I just sent via an email, including pictures, which were printed in his country. Total cost of printing $10.00. All the documentation was in one single envelope and once again of all he brought they only took and reviewed 3 pieces and the rest they never looked at it. My comments that if you want to do binders for your own piece of mind, go ahead but once at the Embassy they will ask and take only what they want to see.

    That is unfortunate but concentrate of your life and make it happy with the one you have chosen. If they come around much the better but if they do not, move on.

    Being tech challenged, I just sent all my files on paper. I just printed pictures at Walgreens and glued them to a blank page and added my written comments underneath. I only sent 10 pics that I thoughts were of consequence. It all go approved without issue. Good luck.

    When we filled out our K1 application, we sent no pictures of us together with any family, I did go visit in Indonesia and we travelled to various cities in Indonesia and also Thailand and Malaysia and we did send those pics but not a one with any family and it was approved.

    At all entry points is business as usual everyday, the election does not impact that process at all.
