US Immigration from Canada

I have my n400 interview on Monday at the Orlando office.

My lawyer did not submit passport-style photos with my application and says they aren't required.

The guides on here say photos should have been submitted.

Anyone know for sure?

Field office: Denver, CO. Hello everyone, we had our K1 AOS interview on Oct. 13, 2022. It was more like a regular conversation than an actual interview. Questions were primarily focused on when we got married, where we got married, my parent's name (to her) and the officer typed whatever we said into the computer (she asked to describe our relationship). She found out that the consulate forgot to send them the medical (or maybe they did and it got lost in transit) so she said she will issue us an RFE for medical. It was pretty relaxing, except for the long wait in the waiting room waiting for an officer to call us.

This may be a waste of effort, but I am curious if there is any faster way to get my spouse-to-be into the US and living with me, as she has been struggling financially. I studied as much as I could the differences between K1 and CR1 (with K3) and was advised by a friend that works in immigration that we should go K1 route. We filed our 129f at the end of July this year and it we got NOA1 that it was received on 1Aug2022 and had begun processing at the California center. The approximate timelines are pretty disheartening. My fiance is a Canadian citizen, if it matters any. I was just curious if we had made a mistake and should have just gotten married over there and filed for the 130. I wasn't sure if there was any way for her to move here while waiting on this processing timeline, had we went the other route. I read that the Biden administration was going to work to get times down to 6 months, I don't know if there has been any change to be hopeful for though. Thanks!

How long does it take for USCIS to send the I-130 petition to NVC and for you to get the email?

Hello - helping a friend in an odd situation.

I have a Canadian friend engaged to an American. She is currently in the US on her B2 Visa valid until February. Her 14-year-old daughter is with her. Recently they discussed getting married and processing AOS. They entered lawfully this is a new idea.

The mom was checking her I-94 to make sure she hadn't been given a more limited allotment to be in the US and she is fine. The daughter however was given only 6 weeks on her official I-94. There was no conversation at the time of entry with the Customs and Border patrol agent and there is no stamp in her passport. We've reached out to the Port Authority where she entered and they've admitted it appears to be an error.

My knowledge tells me two things I'd love feedback and more details.

If she leaves before doing an AOS the daughter may be denied future entries as her B2 Visa is now in question. There is a waiver program for an overstay but I cannot find the actual form number.

Custody arrangement is not an issue.
