Filing I-130- Newlyweds

[kemal1010 1]

I am a green card holder w/no previous marriages or petitions, so I don't think there are any red flags. Me and my wife just got married at the beginning of June, when I was visiting her. Well, we only did a civil ceremony to get a marriage license sooner than later and we are planning to have a official wedding ceremony with about 400 people attending in the fall of this year. After the wedding, I am planning on staying and living with her for about 3 months. Since I had to return back to work in the US, I was there only for 5 days after the marriage, which we didn't really live together due lots of visits from her and my family. We did have a smaller celebration dinner on the day of our civil marriage with her and my immediate family attending. We did take some pics, including her and my parents. I also have pictures from our hangouts together at the park, etc.

Here is my dilemma:

1) After researching I-130 questions, specifically question #21, (The last address lived together, From - To), I am worried that my case will look suspicious in the eyes of USCIS, since we didn't really live together. How do you think I should answer that question? Should I put some statement instead of just putting "N/A". By all means, our marriage is real, but I don't want to make it look suspicious.

2) Another question is should I wait until after the wedding ceremony to submit the I-130 packet as I would have lived with her for 2 months, would that be better option?

Appreciate all your help on this.

A lot of people petitioning for the IR-1/CR-1 visa for their spouse haven't lived with them. It shouldn't matter that you haven't lived with her yet, as long as you have evidence of the bonafide marriage, you will be fine. Might as well submit the I-130 ASAP.

I doubt if it matters either way, I assume you did not marry on first visit and that you have a history.

Biggie, which Consulate?

It will be in Tashkent consulate and we do have history, but not as much proof except photos.

I just wonder if anyone has written "N/A" to question #21 and gotten approved without any RFEs? or maybe I should write something like "We have only visited each other, but have not lived together yet" ?

Thats different, not sure I have seen many go through there, probably on the higher side of evidence needed.
