US Immigration from Canada

I'm a bit desperate for information. I thought I was doing everything correctly in that I have prepared all of the documents and filled out all of the forms for my adjustment of status (485 and all the other forms with it). My intent was to mail all of this in the same day after we get married (we get married on Saturday) since all I needed was the marriage license (with the witness and officiant signatures, of course). But it has come to my attention that this may have been faulty logic: it seems like I need to now MAIL IN THE signed marriage license so the Los Angeles County can record it and they will be mailing the certified copy back to me. The only problem is that they quoted me on the phone 8-10 weeks (another 2-3 months) for it to be sent to me. I was really hoping to get a job / visit my family in Canada as soon as possible so that delay is just devastating to me.

The instructions for I-485 state:

In addition to the evidence listed in the What Evidence Must You Submit with Form I-485 section, you must submit a copy of the marriage certificate to show that the K-1 nonimmigrant fiance (e) married the U.S. citizen (Form I-129F petitioner) in the 90-day period.

For those who have successfully submitted and got approved, did you submit the copy of the marriage certificate (that is used during your wedding ceremony) OR did you have to wait to send that copy in and wait for the certified copy of the marriage license back from the county?

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi All,

So currently F2A is ongoing for my husband. I live in USA and my husband lives in Canada. The PD is sept 2019 and DQ unknown as of yet. While process still goes on, can my husband apply for me in canada and I can go there and live with him until F2A interview is scheduled?

Didn't think we'd get it so soon!

The status for the interview says "waiting to be scheduled" Anyone here being processed through Houston field office?

We filed in beginning of May 2021. When can we expect interview?

TIA Kierra

Hi all,

Do we have a timeline for the processing wait time? My husband had everything approved at his interview on the 10th, medical on the 16th and I can see on our Visa Status Check that our case was updated on the 23rd (I assume that means that it was received). Has anyone been in the same position and can give me an expected wait time? Can we expect 5-7 business days for this as well?

received this from senator office.
