US Immigration from Colombia

Hello,

I am a citizen of the United States , recently I married my fianc of three years in her home country of Colombia, my wife is living in Colombia. After gathering all the necessary proof of bona-fide relationship as well as requested documents by the USCIS I sent in the I-130 application on November 13th and was received by USCIS on November 30th.

Questions:

Was I suppose to file the I-148 Adjustment of status concurrent with the I-130?

If it was better to file the I-130 & I-148 concurrently is to late to file I-148 now since I haven't received a NOA1 and check hasn't been cashed? also is another fee to be paid?

If all this is wrong what steps should be taken? what forms are to be submitted?

I would like for my wife to be able to apply for a drivers license, work, travel back to her Colombia to visit family if our petition is approved and she gets her visa.

Help is gratefully appreciated!

Happy Holidays :-)

Hello,

Hoping to get some advice... my husband was fingerprinted on Friday, December 4th after waiting for nearly 7 months so almost 2 weeks ago. He started to work on his resume and today just to go see he went to interview for a pretty good company. They offered him the job pretty much on the spot but my husband told them that if there was any way they could wait a few weeks as he's waiting to receive his work authorization card. He honestly didn't think they'd offer the job on the spot and wanted to just get out there to interview. They asked if he had a social and he said yes but that he couldn't work with it until he received his EAD. They said he only needs his social and he explained that he can't work until he receives his EAD but would love to work there and if they could possibly wait a few weeks. My husband then called me and asked if there's a way to perhaps expediate the EAD as he has a job offer? Is it even worth submitting to expediate if he had his fingerprints done 2 weeks ago and just wait for him to receive the card hopefully soon? We are doing everything the correct way but we wanted to see if we should just wait and if so what could the ETA be on the card? Or should we submit an expediate inquiry? Advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I looked to see if this question had been asked before, since I couldn t find it I ll ask. I recently obtained the cedula (residency) for Colombia. I still go to the US to work and have my apartment, car and everything else there. Since I m essentially living here, when I m not in the US for work (18 days of the month), will this affect the K1 process for my fiance?

Now that I am a resident, and the lease of our apartment is up in January, we will move to a bigger apartment while we wait for the embassy to resume normal services so she can get the interview. Is it okay that my name is on the lease, if we decide to use the lease as evidence of our relationship? What about joint bank accounts? The joint account is for a bank that has locations in the US, which makes it easer for my fiance and son to have cash if I can have my company direct deposit a part of my pay into that account. I m worried that having a joint account and apartment lease might make it seem like we are married.

Hi everyone, sorry if this is a dumb question but I mailed out my 1-129f application on Saturday to the lewisville location using the address on the uscis website for Fedex deliveries. It was supposed to be delivered today but I see that there was a "delivery exception" saying a delivery attempt was made but "Customer not available or business closed". I was just wondering if anyone had run into this issue and what I should do? It says they will attempt again tomorrow but I don't know why tomorrow would be better if today didn't work. Thanks, I'm really stressed with this process already lol.
