US Immigration from Japan

Please let me know if you know this as i cannot find the correct answers...

Is it okay for me to renew my passport while i-130 is still pending?

I changed my surname from my maiden to my husband's name. And the new passport will have the new name.

Not sure if this is the right section but I was wondering about the impact of the elections. Nov 5th is right in the window of possible entry and was wondering if planning to enter before or after would have any impact.

I know there are no right answers and nobody can know but just asking for opinions from knowledgeable folks who've seen many election cycles.

Hello,

At the time of i864 submission we submitted the petitioner (temporarily abroad, no US income but some savings) and a joint sponsor and got DQ. Now as interview approaches, the petitioner has a job in the US and sufficient income.

Should we delete the joint sponsor and informthe interviewer?

Should we add additional docs like the contract and pay stubs (only 1 available so far) to the ceac portal? I'm worried it will affect the DQ and restart the clock..

Hello VJ members,

Every day a new doubt comes up and we want to be as prepared as possible. The i130 NOA1 and i797 approval original notices which came in the mail are in the US with my spouse. Will I need the originals while going to the embassy for my interview? I'm trying to figure it out so that they can be fedexed to me in time. Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

Hello. I just had my medical for my CR1 visa. The clinic mentioned that everything would be sent directly to the embassy and only a vaccination worksheet would be emailed to me.

I showed them the note on the state gov page that says chest x rays must be carried when entering the US. However they wouldn't budge and said they don't give anything to the applicants in hand and that I should contact the embassy instead, when I go for the interview.

Has anyone else faced this before? Is this the new process?
