    Getting a 2nd opinion (at least) is so important. My dad was misdiagnosed for almost 10 years, was put on meds for said disease (steroid type meds) and it turns out later after he got 2nd opinions at a more serious research hospital (in another town) they told him he never had this disease. Unfortunately his disease was never truly diagnosed ("idiopathic" - so they simply don't understand or know the cause) but the fact he took useless meds for almost a decade still infuriates me.

    Unfortunately it is a big deal to USCIS and DoS. You're now considered "too married" for the K-1 as others have said. Your next step should be getting actually married (with a court doc or other official civil doc) and then start over with the I-130. Submit the civil/court marriage certificate as proof.

    It is possible to obtain a copy even if you're not in Russia. It requires some extra steps but it's not impossible. https://legalbeagle.com/5189742-copy-russian-birth-certificate.html In lieu of this, it seems something else must be provided in absence of the birth certificate otherwise you'll get an RFE and the case will be stuck: https://www.jeelani-law.com/adjustment-of-status-i-485-without-a-birth-certificate/ DoS site says ZAGS will release a new birth certificate if the old is lost or destroyed so it might be the best way to go: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/RussianFederation.html

    They actually looked at the letter? It's not really an "invitation letter" more just like a written statement someone in the US can provide with details about why they want this person to come. There is no formal "invitation" unlike some countries who actually provide that for tourist visas. It's just rare these days they would even ask to look at supporting docs from what we see here on VJ and what I have heard from people I know who applied. You can bring the whole kit and caboodle of paperwork to back up your case but it's at the CO's discretion to ask to look at it.

    Thank you, it's valuable information! In our case, I don't think we need an Apostille on the certificate since the US passport will be accepted as proof of citizenship. It's good to know for others in case they need both, they might need to get 2 different apostilles for each document.

  23. millefleur
    That makes sense! I made this thread because information specifically about the N-662 name change was very hard to find, so I'm hoping if others need only that one they can get help here. The only other source at all I found for the N-662 was the reddit thread, which thankfully is what altered me to the courts since USCIS would not even let me speak to a person about it. I hope others who search for this specific issue will come to VJ and see my thread.

    P.S. I checked the N-662 and the same name appears (Thomas Burton) under "Certification of Name Change" as a stamp where he was supposed to sign it. So everything seems to add up.

    I'm attaching the front cover of the Apostille so you can see what it looks like. I also thought it would have to go to some higher up federal office but apparently that's not the case, it's the local court since the judge is the one who officiated the name change. We also obtained a copy of the N-662 via the local court here, not via USCIS or any federal office. Note: We only got an Apostille on the N-662, not on the Naturalization Certificate itself. Perhaps this is why we didn't need a federal apostille?

    Thanks for updating us!

    The deeper question is what makes you think she would trick you?
  31. millefleur
    Is this because it's too cost prohibitive to build more structurally resistant bridges?
  32. millefleur
    Supposedly it helps but I think it's just a circumstantial aspect where they consider the totality of your situation. I've known people who had no prior travel history abroad who were approved for B visas.

    Is there an expediting process option? Usually places are more than happy to speed things up for more money.

    Switzerland seems like an odd choice, a country notorious for not being very welcoming. Any reason they tired that one?
