Three positive things about CR1 are: 1) It's much much cheaper than K1 route 2) Once your spouse gets immigrant visa and enter the US - they're LPRs. No need to wait for over a year for GC and be restricted in working, travelling etc like you are with AOS after K1 3) If you're married for over 2 years when spouse enters the US, no need to file I-751 which is additional expense and 2-3 year wait. What you're proposing isn't going to work realistically. You're stuck with CR1, and it's the superior route anyways.

Those are just meaningless random numbers

Bonus point: you don't actually need to log in. You can check status here without password too: https://egov.uscis.gov/ This is useful as sometimes myUSCIS is down not showing status, but this website might be up.

This path is called immigration fraud. Nonimmigrant visas are not for relocating.

Google doc / Microsoft Word. Create a new file. Place 2-4 photos per page. Write captions under each photo: date, location, event, people from left to right.

Congratulations to you both! Don't file a non-existent form. Do you mean I-129F? Do not send any original documents unless explicitly asked for. Send copies. Yes, your fiance will need to include copy and translation of her birth certificate.

Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Bring all letters and 10 year GC. Bring the US citizen spouse too. Before the interview starts, make sure to inform IO your I-751 has been approved. Good luck and keep us posted.

How old is the son? When was the petition filed? I assume this is immigration visa case?

No. Once you got married, I-129F got invalidated. You also notified NVC. Expect additional scrutiny when it comes to I-130 with different beneficiary.

I'd wait for official letter from USCIS. Don't rush with reply. Send it promptly, but also ensure you have overwhelming evidence of what USCIS is asking for. It's better to send a strong reply VS sending it faster.

You'd share the same official document that allowed your kid to get outside Argentina with US authorities.

USCIS lately doesn't schedule interviews in the 90 day filing windows. It does happen, but most often it doesn't get denied, person is placed on hold until they reach 3 or 5 year anniversary. It's filing too early that gets people denied 100%. But filing in 90 day window is acceptable.

No, because vaccines don't give 100% protection. The more unvaccinated people around, the more probability the virus keeps living amount people creating a risk of infecting vaccinating people. Plus mutations occur, reducing immunity provided by vaccine... There's even mathematical formulas explaining what percentage of population needing vaccine to ensure the virus cannot spread. I agree, I do not see a strong case for waiving vaccine requirement for OP so far. Any waiver needs to be factually based and backed up by solid paperwork to be taken seriously.

If waivers were easy, everybody would get them. In reality, receiving any special treatment, exceptions, waiver and expedites from DOS / USCIS is difficult. This especially applies to vaccinations and medical conditions (TB etc), as we're talking American public safety.

That's a nice position to be in. Good luck with the process and keep us posted 😊

This is misrepresentation by omission. I agree with you, OP needs to check the laws and penalties before the travel.

Also, why are you tying I-130 to job offer?

You can file I-130 whether they are in or out of the US. What you cannot do is come to the US with intention of them staying and adjusting status, because that would be fraud. Adjustment of status will also be more expensive route compared to N-600K.

True, but it will be a shorter journey for them immigration wise. Yes, they'd visit on ESTA, but CBP can always deny entry.

Yes, you need to prove relationship between you, US citizen and foreign spouse, the beneficiary. I-130 is a must

This is irrelevant as you're married.

And also reducing the visibility into processing times... What a shame. But until they start password protecting case status pages, external websites and apps will be able to gather the real data and provide useful insights into current state of things.

Official processing time right now is 80% in 7.5 months based on https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ I'm not sure about consistency? https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?op6=All&op7=San+Francisco+CA&op1=6&op2=d&op4=1&op5=5%2C10%2C11&cfl= Just look at the entries. 1) 5.5 months 2) 3 months 3) 9 months 4) 8 months 5) 3 months 6) 5 months 7) 15 months 8 ) 4 months 9) 9.5 months 10) 11 months So based on 10 latest entries, only 2 took 3 months. On average it took close to 7.5 months , which is close to USCIS timelines... Of course, I only looked at small sample of data. But I also sat in N-400 / I-751 groups watching timelines and people complained about SF taking long in the past year.

If I-130 is approved, beneficiary shouldn't be too far off from receiving immigrant visa. This is a clean and easy path to get GC. Why bother with the visit now? Can you visit beneficiary instead?

You can always try, just have to be honest about marital status and pending I-130 etc when filling forms for visitor's visa.
