this was probably asked a million times already, but is the I-134 required when the visa application is submitted or does it just need to be taken to the interview? Thanks!

I m the petitioner filing for my spouse (beneficiary) under the IR1 category and uploading documents to the CEAC portal.

1. For the interview, which originals should the beneficiary bring (e.g., her passport and birth certificate) she doesn t need my original passport, birth cert, etc, correct?

2. I was previously married and divorced do I need to upload my divorce decree to the CEAC portal? And would my spouse have to bring this original?

Thank you.

Your question made me think of one of my own; sorry if it is dumb (or in the wrong place) - I'm new to the process.
Does it make much of a difference from a processing time perspective whether you marry and then come to the US, versus doing it the other way around?

I know it's different paperwork (K-1 vs CR-1?), and it makes a difference on how things go later on (regarding adjusting status etc..). But if the goal is to start your lives together as soon as possible, then is one approach significantly better (mainly faster) than the other? My assumption would be to marry first, as you already know you want to spend your lives together, so why wait? But if that means a difference of months before you actually get to start that life, then maybe holding off on the ceremony makes sense.

Hi there, H1B filing for green card through adjustment of status (I-130 / I-485 / I-765 for EAD) on basis of marriage to USC. Just looked at my birth certificate and forgot that my parents have an additional middle name on there, e.g., Jane "Mary Christine" Doe is on my BC. I have never formally changed my name, just omitted "Christine" when filling out forms, including my F1 paperwork, so all passports, drivers licenses have Jane "Mary" Doe as my full legal name. Do I need to include middle names "Mary Christine" on the "Other Names Used" section in my application, or is continuing to omit it fine?

Hello, trying to find out the type of questions that will be asked for a family F11 candidate at the Montreal consulate please? Trying to get myself prepared. Thank you.
