Does anyone with a recent experience at Mumbai know if a laminated birth certificate will be accepted? It is the original copy but has been laminated. I searched and there are some old threads with people guessing about whether or not it will be accepted, but could not find any recent real experiences from anyone.

Anyone know if it makes any difference to use those emails or use the public inquiry form on the website? Will one be answered faster or anything like that?

Yes they will check for records that may exist but were not provided, that's their job to investigate and determine eligibility.

USCIS uses the "place of celebration" rule to determine whether a marriage is valid for immigration purposes. If you get anything that is legally considered a marriage at the place where it happens, then you are very likely to have your I-129F denied if there is any record about it. To be eligible for K1, you have to prove 3 eligibility factors, one of which is: you and beneficiary are legally able and eligible to marry within 90 days of beneficiary's arrival to US. By having an existing marriage, you and beneficiary would not be eligible in this regard in most cases. You may be able to present some novel legal argument to counter that but I'm not sure it's worth all the risk and hassle. In summary, if you want an easy approval then don't do it. If you want to get married, just get legally married and apply for CR1.

Find your congress representative and on their website they will usually have a page titled like "Help with federal agency". Fill out the information and they will contact USCIS on your behalf to inquire: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative You can also submit another inquiry yourself that your case is beyond the expected processing times, and maybe explain it in detail and also inquire with USCIS ombudsman. If I were in your situation, I would just go with the congress rep first and see what happens. You could also call them and ask instead of using the website. You will have to go through the automated menu and try to speak to a person, then difficult as it may be, explain to them politely that your NOA 1 is on whatever date, and it is beyond the expected processing time.

Just wondering if it was approved or you're still waiting?

K1 Visa RFE for Criminal Record

The documents you have are fine and your letter answers their questions. If it's notarized, send the documents. You're not the first or last person to apply for immigration benefits with some citation, arrest, or other run-in with the law. It's not a big deal, just meet the requirements they are asking, which you appear to with the documents you have, and send them.
