This may sound stupid, but on the US Embassy Bogota website, in big red letters, it says bring original or certified copies of all documents uploaded in CEAC...Please use the list below to determine the items that every applicant must bring to the immigrant visa interview. Any documents that are not in either English or Spanish must be accompanied by a certified English translation...however if you continue to read...it says...Your original birth certificate, English translation, and a photocopy.

It says English translation a few more times but I only pasted one example for clarification. Now the Question...Based on what is written in RED, I don't need to translate any documents because all of my documents are either in English or Spanish...is this true...and am I to assume the "original birth certificate", if it wasn't in English or Spanish, would need to be translated...are my assumptions correct?

Hello, I want to know how to start the visa process. My husband is an American citizen. I am Colombian. Right now, we have been married for two years, and we have a two-month-old baby. If anyone knows, you could help me, thanks.

Relevant USCIS processing time category for I-131?

This USCIS page (https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/historic-pt) shows historical processing times for different kinds of immigration applications, among them I-131s. However, it splits the I-131s into 3 categories: "Advance parole document," "Parole in place," and "Travel document." The first two categories have much shorter current timelines (5-6 months each) than the third, which sits at 14.5 months.

Which of these categories is relevant for a K1 visa holder who has arrived in the US, married, and filed for a I-485 adjustment of status? Or perhaps are they all relevant, meaning that the whole process may take the sum of all of those timelines?

My best friend's husband became ineligible for spousal immigrant-visa for a term of one year. That time is set to expire in three weeks to eligibility again pending new medical exam. If all goes well for the applicant in Colombia do the Embassy schedule new interview or bypass it upon good medical review and approve visa shortly thereafter?

Using "Husband/Wife" in text messages

Hello,

When I submitted my I-129F, I attached 23 pages of WhatsApp chat logs spread out over the timeline of the relationship. I didn't think much of it and didn't read through every single line until reading another forum post. My fiance is Colombian and she uses the term "husband(esposo)" as a term of endearment and her way she feels of being sweet in our texts.

I went back and reviewed the copy I made of what I submitted in my K-1 Packet, and of the 23 pages of texts, she used "husband" 3 times and I called her "wife" once. We also have plenty of uses of boyfriend/girlfriend in the earlier messages as well as fiance. Also are conversations where she says "marry meee" in a playful manner which in text may not come off that way. All our social medias show engaged/fiance. Bad mistake on my end, I know, that just didn't cross my mind when I was submitting the packet.

From what I've read, this will be an issue during the interview for my fiance and this looks like i'll be denied? My question is if the interviewer will read through each line of the 23 pages of text messages and what our chances of approval are at now? I only submitted the K-1 packet 2 months ago. Trying to decide if it's a high chance of denial because of those text messages, would it be better to pivot to CR-1 now instead of waiting 1.5 years for a rejection and then starting the CR-1 process?

Thanks for any advice!
