Proof of residency can be used once you submit your AOS paperwork and they send you NOA1. Maybe it will be easier for you to hold off on SSN before now. VJ guides do say you should get SSN before marriage, and therefore before AOS, but in my personal experience, I don't see why that is. Maybe states vary, but for me, I wasn't been able to do much even with an SSN before marriage. Really everything got easier for me once I had my EAD.

You are well within normal processing times.

1. Yes 2. You'll need to take your marriage certificate if you want to use your married name for SSA. If you don't have it yet, then stick to your maiden name and update it once you have your EAD. 3. Yes 4. Would be useful but you don't have to submit that with the initial application. You can submit additional evidence online once USCIS recieve your application and you activate your online account.

Along with meeting within the last 2 years, you would very likely need to redo the forms due to newer version of I-129F. You can't just send them something you prefilled over 2 years ago.

Your K1 wasn't denied. Your I-129F was, likely due to the response to the RFE not meeting USCIS' request. Are you not able to travel to the US and marry? You can do this on a tourist visa but you CANNOT then stay to adjust status. If travelling on tourist visa for the purpose of marriage, you MUST then return to your home country to start the spousal visa. But, it does not sound like your fiance really wants to pursue your relationship. Many of us here have made huge sacrifices during our visa processes. If you have a genuine relationship, then you will find a way to make it work. If one side refuses to make an effort, then I suggest you move on with your life.

My opinion but I'd also have thought that a B is not the visa for this purpose. Even if unpaid, it will likely involve a contract and technically employment/internship. Sounds like something the company or organisation would arrange for the candidate, no?

How old is the petitioner, and how old is the beneficiary? How long have they been in a relationship? How many in person meetings between the two? Countries neighboring SA are likely high fraud. If there is a significant age gap between the two, and other red flags, then a lawyer might be preferable in their situation.

Can't be a very good one if they're asking for advice on a DIY site...

But if you have the divorce documents, just submit them?

You want to withdraw an application for Person A, but do not have divorce documents, and are marrying Person B in 2 weeks?

You think he does? Do you not know the English-speaking skills of the person you intend to marry? No, I don't have experience at that embassy, as you can see from my timeline.

The questions are really very simple, and answers should be simple and succinct too. If he can speak and understand basic English, then there should be no issue. Document reviews are required to ensure all docs needed are available before interview. If anything is missing, they tell you then. If you don't attend the doc review, they will refuse your interview and you will need to reschedule both doc review and interview. Why can't he make the doc review?

Coming to the US to be with a pregnant partner isn't tourism. A B2 doesn't apply to you in this situation.

It's far more likely that your partner had a lapse in judgement and made a mistake that is now going to affect her timeline coming to the US. Maybe rather than admit fault, she is now trying to rectify things, going as far as to try and find someone who will make the positive test "go away". That's a far more plausible story than cat scratches being mistaken as self harm and embassy medical officials soliciting bribes.

My thoughts exactly.

Embed images on pages of a Word document. I wouldn't put more than 2 per page. On each page, caption the photos with date taken, location, who is in the photos. You can take the same approach with copies of documents, such a birth certificate, passport, etc. Just scan them in, and embed into the document. Any image or document that would originally be in color should be provided to USCIS also in color.

What exactly did the RFE ask for? I am struggling to see this info in your post.

Be aware that if you get ID before marriage, you may not be able to update the name after marriage before receiving the EAD.

Printed I134 is fine for taking to interview, but your signature must be wet when scanned, not typed.

Apps and trackers are only for convinience of quicker access to info than USCIS page, although it's negligible. It's the difference between having to do 2FA and not. If that's worth paying for, to you, then that's your choice. Ultimately, using a tracker, paid or not, will not make the process any quicker.

So your dad completed and mailed the missing page? I am fairly certain they would have requested the missing page be signed and dated, as is typical with RFEs. Do you know if this was detailed on the RFE? If so, how did you do this? Did you complete the form and mail it to your dad, and he forwarded it on to USCIS? Or did your dad sign and date the page? If so, wouldn't he then be classed as a preparer and be required to sign the appropriate Preparer's page? Or was the page not signed and dated at all?

My USCIS account also skipped over the interview, but the reality is that you will likely be interviewed, especially with them stating all marriage based applicants, both pending and new, will have an interview. You should have recieved I797s in the mail, or can access the digital copies on your USCIS account under the Documents tab of your I485 application. An EAD would show status, without it you're current here on an expired visa, but not illegal, and they can't categorize you as anything to allow the issuance of ID. Driving on a foreign license is generally only allowed for the first 90 days of stay, but this varies by state. I recently got my learners permit, and for that I took all I797s from first filing to EAD approval, including biometrics letter, my EAD card, my passport with K1 visa inside, current I94, my SSN, marriage certificate.

Because a tourist visa is for people who have 0% immigrant intent, but an active application for an immigrant visa shows 100% immigrant intent... It's well known to be a risk to travel for tourism while having an active immigration request, be it family, spousal, fiancé, etc. Plenty of people have done it, myself included, and have been successful, but they would be foolish to arrive at CBP without evidence of strong ties to their home country.

As said, they can apply, but it will look fishy. They will need to show really strong ties to home country to show they plan to return and wait out the I130 process properly.

Weight loss surgery is elective and therefore doubtful to be approved as grounds for an expedite.
