US Immigration from Cambodia

I applied k1 back in 2019 , and doing everything and Covid shutdown , I didn t know anything , I thought everyone was lock down , when to Cambodia Feb 2021, stay here about 4 months , saw embassy was working , come back in May 2021 , making appointments for her , wait for 3 months , embassy email my case expired, inquired installment, wait about 3 months , contact Congresswoman, they respond from USCIS to tell me reapply, so we apply k1 again in Feb 2022, now no approval yet, am I getting deny cause reapply and due to inactivity my previous k1

I received an approved I-130 for my wife, couple of months went by with no response from NVC, I looked back on my NoA2 and seen verbiage about filing an I-824, googled this and found it's an application for action on an approved I-130.

Looked at my copy of my submitted I-130 and realized I left the country blank on question 62.a

Called USCIS and was told to make a change to an approved petition that's leaving the U.S requires an I-824.

So after all this I have a couple questions. There are questions on the I-824 that I'm not exactly sure what is the correct response. I'll attach a picture of the I-824 question. I'm thinking it's either 1.b or 1.d, there just is not any other questions on the I-824 for how they would know which embassy to send my petition to, unless they just go off her geographic information from address etc.

Second question is, am I able to tell when I file my I-824, where it will go? My NoA1 had an address of Nebraska on the bottom, my NoA2 had an address of National Benefits Center in Kansas. The reason I'm asking is because Nebraska has a current processing time of 22-23 months for an I-824, NBC is 5 months. Our receipt number starts with IOE. If my NoA2 was sent from NBC in KS, could that be where my I-824 goes, or since it's mailed to the Phoenix lockbox, it could be sent to Nebraska? Or is there a chance that it could go to any service center in the U.S? I'm in the upper midwest of the U.S geographically.

I'm already planning on going back in a few months to visit my wife, so if it goes to Nebraska, I was considering just a withdrawl of the current CR-1 and refiling a new CR-1 once I return, as 15 months at Nebraska vs 23 months is a long time. Once an I-824 is submitted, is the CR-1 still able to be withdrawn if the processing time is 2 years vs a year and a half?

At the risk of sounding really obtuse because it appears pretty clear, the DOS website states the following on Step 7 about collecting civil documents:

Quote

Please note that all documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country from which you are applying, must be accompanied by certified translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator stating that:

• The translation is accurate, and
• The translator is competent to translate.

I have searched the forums and am mostly finding questions related to translation certification. What I m trying to find out is if a translation is even needed. We didn t submit any translations with our I-130 because our marriage certificate is in English. I m trying to prepare for the NVC stage and am wondering if my husband s police certificate and birth certificate need to be translated. They are not written in English, but they are written in the official language of his country (Cambodia, the country from which he is applying). Does this mean that we don t need the translations? I m confused because I see people mentioning translation all the time (even when documents are in the language of their country), or that they brought the translated copies/certificates to their interview but was that a precautionary measure or a requirement?

Thanks in advance!

Back in 2019 I applied k1 visa , I did everything, even paid for visa interviews on March 2020 , and Covid locked down , my lawyer didn t pay attention much on my case , and I don t know anything , I went to visit her on Feb 2021 , saw everything opened , come back in May 2021 , booked appointment Aug 2021 for her , and we got email few days before said our case inactivity over a year , call us embassy in Cambodia they booked us new appointments on Sep 2021 , told her to reapplying or write a statement about what happen on inactivity over a year , did write a statement, waiting for 2 months , contact Congressman, and USCIS respond to reapply , and we did k1 Agian on Feb 18 2022 , didn t get approval yet , and my fianc speak to some other immigration lawyer, told about our case on have 30% chance to get approvel at interview us embassy, because our case on red flag , why we didn t apply cr1, didn t have any kid together, and I didn t focus on my july 2019 applications. And now the lawyer suggests we to have child or she gets pregnant for better chance on the interview, ( US EMBASSY CAMBODIA ) any ideas to help us ? Thank you so much, and I just visited her in December 2022

My wife is from Cambodia and is in the US on a green card. After our second child was born her sister applied for a B2 for a 6 month visit. She was denied. It has now been 4 years and she would like to try again. This time she would like to come for 1 month along with her girlfriend. Im wondering if its. worth trying or is it likely she will be denied again. She works food delivery and her girlfriend does internet sales. They live in an apartment.
