Don't use a binder as all that paper will be removed and the binder thrown away. Keep it simple. Paper clip the relevant docs together, with a cover letter itemizing the contents in the order you placed them.

At least Spanish, in any form, uses latin letters. Try Russian !! It's all in Cyrillic ! ( цыриллиц )

Ahh you don't know how hard it is to resist juvenile responses to comments like this when I am in a feisty mood

LOL. " got the picture"

You need a petition for your dog and get a K-9 visa.

But then you need to find a mate to arrange the marriage within 90 days so you can adjust status !

My dog is a Black Russian Terrier, a fairly large breed. But when I brought her home from Moscow, she was still a small puppy.I flew Delta and on that flight they allowed me to take the dog with me in the plane. It only cost a few hundred dollars. She was in a flexible carrier that fit under the seat. Of course she was in my lap for most of the ride. And many passengers wanted to pet her so she went around the plane for a few hours even though the attendants did not really like it!. when I got to JFK, I showed them all my papers, which were in Russian and they could not understand then, so they just told me to make sure she gets all her shots and let me go. Took about 10 minutes.

When people come here with real issues/problems I have found a lot of posters show genuine concern and try to help.

When people come here with "stupid" things that they should have known long before they started the process or cannot take the time to research simple things on their own, for whatever reasons, then I have found that some posters show a less tendency to show patience.

you keep it.

When you take your biometrics, fingerprints and photo, it goes right into a computer. So the direct answer is immediately.

Think about this way. If your love is true, it will last a lifetime. A few more months waiting should mean very little to do it right and not risk your future together.

what Belinda said is spot on. So you have a few months to acclimate yourself to a different lifestyle.

First, you had a civil ceremony ( as I did), so you are married. Do not even bring up the cruise or anything else that will muck up the works. Give them want they want. Keep it simple. Docs on your marriage, some photos ( 1-2) of your ceremony, more important photos of you with friends at events ( to show a bona fide marriage) and any other docs such as joint accounts, leases. At my wife's interview all the CO did was ask some simple questions, looked at the photos, asked my wife who were these people and where, and we were done. What plans you have after the interview is your business. And good luck to you.

Just remember you need two. One from each of you showing intent to marry the other.

Maybe someone else can chime in here but I understand you must be of legal age for a K1 visa. I would assume that to be 18.

Never send original anything. Only copies. If they want to see originals, then you personally bring them and come home with them. They are yours. If you sent an original marriage cert then the best thing to do, other than calling and advising them they have it, is to go the city/county clerks office and request another.

Time lines are only general guides. Some AP/EAD take shorter times and some a bit longer. If all your papers are in order you will get yours. Just be a bit more patience.

I wouldn't. You just hooked up for a week.

Get married before the 90 days. Then file for AOS as soon as possible. That's about it.

May I ask why she took almost one year to "tie up loose ends"? Thats a long time to be separated from each other. Can't you come back a bit sooner and avoid all the hassles?

I would leave it blank. At your age ( 50+ ?) you are way past being eligible for the selective service. The upper limit for entering the US armed services is 34.

Typically the K2 to follow information was already on your wifes K1 application. The K2 was one year to get his visa from the date his mother got hers.He usually will have to go for an interview as well. As the poster above said, you need to contact the consulate and let them know you want to get an interview appointment. When he has his visa, he comes over and you start his AOS application. His process may take a bit less time, but don't count on it. Use any info you have from your wife to link the two together.If your wife will be going back to be with him, make sure she has her green card first.

I don't know what part of the process you are in but exactly how you print the photos is not as important as what type of photos you submit. A few wedding photos are nice but photos of you and your wife "doing things together" carry more weight. Pics of you traveling together, being at family outings and so forth tend to show more of a bona fide marriage.

As Jim said, there should be no problem because you want to change flights. Just don't push the age limit. Give yourself some time, in the event of a problem.

Asking to push back the date because you have not yet received information in the mail and need time to gather that information is one thing. Because you need to buy plane tickets...I don't know if I would bring that up.

The packet goes to the foreign fiancée, to the address you provided on your 129 forms. Same for packet 4.
