US Immigration from Colombia

K1 moved to US on Sept 2023, married end of that month.

Will it be a redundancy to include bona fide relationship evidence? Just trying to not to bloat the application if not required. Thanks!

In the applicant's Birth Certificate there's has a note stating a name change when she was 2 years old (now over 30). We can supplement the AOS app with another document officiating that name change, however, I don't see anywhere in the instructions to attach name change documentation, and we are not using any document that has the old name. Is attaching this name change document required (or advisable)?

Thanks!

I currently live in California and my I-129F is with the California Service Center, NOA1 on February 22, 2023. I was just offered a new job in Florida, and will move there in January. I'll update my address with CIS once I find a place to live there. Does anybody know what happens to our case? Does it stay with California Service Center or get transferred to the center that has jurisdiction over Florida (which appears to be Texas?). If so, is that good news or bad news?

It looks like Texas is a little bit faster than California, so if gets transferred there, does that mean it will speed up the process, or does the wait time start all over again when the case goes to a different center?

Hello,

Is the fiance allowed to travel to other countries after a successful K-1 Interview, yet prior to entering US? For example, medical exams and Colombia consulate approves K-1 interview January and gets passport and all documents back. Fiance travels to Mexico and Argentina February, then enters USA March all within 6 months of medical exams.

Thanks

Good afternoon!

In short, my wife was accepted for her Visa in Colombia at the US Embassy two years ago and we have been married 1.5 years. When I completed all the paperwork for her visa they accepted my income and approved the visa without issue. Once in the US, we submitted the I-485 once again with my income, and even though it is above the guidelines they responded that we must have a sponsor. I replied to their letter with more details on my income and assets but they once again said a sponsor is needed. I asked the only person who I thought might agree, a family member, and they declined. I had no one else and especially given the times, it would be almost impossible to find anyone to agree to be a sponsor outside the family.

So, our I-485 was fully denied. We never received a formal notice, I only found out through online case status. I know I can attempt to appeal, but from what I read this seems to be a rather worthless option. I've also read that if the denial was without prejudice, that we could submit a new I-485 with the needed sponsor which of course I do not have.

We've contacted attorneys and they are more than willing to take the case for us, but of course it doesn't solve our underlying issue which really I have to figure out on my own.

My question is this-- it has been two years now and my poor wife and stepdaughter have not even been able to leave the country to see relatives. My wife had her work approval and travel approved very late, and I am reading the card is null and void given the denial. Is this correct? Can she just stay in country until we figure out a way to reapply? Is there a time limit?

I along with many others have had such a hard time of getting a hold of anyone to talk to at USCIS...I've sent inquiries and they never respond. I truly appreciate your ideas and or advice.
