US Immigration from Indonesia

Hey guys, sorry for asking again so soon but I figured it wouldn't hurt.

When they ask for two 2x2 photo for the interview, do they mean of just myself, or of myself and my fianc ?

(Thanks again for your help in advance, this forum has helped me a lot)

So one of the things I need to bring to the interview stage is a criminal record history/check indicating past criminal record, in which thankfully I have none.

But not only does it ask for it from the local police station (ottawa, canada), but it is also asking for criminal record check from my country of origin (indonesia), which i spent only 2 years as soon as I hit 16+.

this process will be slightly convoluted since it requires for my fingerprints to be sent there somehow from the local police station.

my question is, are they very thorough during the interview stage? will there be possibly any delays if I do not have a criminal background check from my country of origin?

thank you!

Has anyone had any issues applying for a Schengen Visa (for tourism travel) when your Passport has your maiden surname, and Green Card has your married surname? Will the EU accept a copy of the marriage certificate to prove name change?

Hi guys i received request evidence for my wife spouse visa it that letter from USCIS stated include duplicate copies if you requesting consular notification? What that mean? Can anyone help?

If i were to look into getting into work in the US without waiting for the ~8 months of waiting time (no work!) after successfully doing K1, would CR-1 Visa help at all to fasten things up? I read that processing may take 7-9 months, but would it be smarter to just wait to receive a green card when I am done with k1 or would it be smarter to apply for CR-1 so I can work faster?

(or am I just misunderstanding CR-1 in general??)
