Police Certificate requirements for NVC upload (K1)

My fiancee is a Russian citizen who's been living in Serbia for over a year. We know that we need to get both police certificates (Russia and Serbia), but we're not sure what the expiry is for them.

She has not been back to Russia since leaving, so that certificate will be valid forever, correct?

The Serbian certificate has a 90 day validity on the document - does it need to be uploaded to the NVC during those 90 days, or does the 2-year expiration policy from the State department take precedence?

We're mainly asking because we have literally no clue how long it'll take to obtain the Serbian one, as there's no instructions online for how a non-Serbian-Citizen living inside of Serbia can obtain one. It could be difficult to obtain a facially valid certificate for the NVC without causing a delay for our case.

(We're aware of the official reciprocity schedule, but it only has sections for citizens, "non-citizens who once resided in Serbia, and are now in their native country", and "Non-citizens who once resided in Serbia, and are in a third country now".)

Thank you!

Hi!

Could you please help me to figure out couple of moments.

I m in USA, have I-589 pending asylum. I m asylum applicant, waiting for the interview for already 2 years (not in a removal / deportation process). I got married, my husband is a US citizen. We re filing out all required form in order for me to get a green card through marriage.
I have question about I-485 form - Question 17. Have you ever violated the terms or conditions of your nonimmigrant status? Do I need to mark YES if I came to the US on a B2 visa, and filed an I-589 on my 5 month stay here (was allowed (admitted) to stay for 6 months). I have I-797 notice of action that my asylum case is pending.
I know that Asylum applicant it is not an actual immigration status, but at the same time I did not overstay, filed i-589 within 6 months of stay.
I'm totally confused right now. Thank you.

I have question about I-130 form - 10. Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary. Do I need to mark as YES, if I filed I-589 before and I have I-797 notice of action that my asylum case is pending. Thank you.

Where does exactly one have the interview, is it depending on where we get married?

Hello everyone,

Quick question to all of you folks that are more experienced on the CR1 side of things. My other half is Russian, she lives there. I cannot just simply go there due to the current world situation, so we just meet in 3rd countries. Our next trip will probably be in Dubai or Turkey due to the relatively ease of travel for her to be able to go there.

Now we are also in the process of deciding if go with K1 or CR1, for CR1 my question now is, I read somewhere that the interview is had where you get married. Example, if we go to Turkey and get married there, then our Visa interview WILL be in Turkey? Am I correct in this? I cannot marry her on Moscow for obvious reasons that is somewhat dangerous for me to go.

Another thing would be to do a Utah Zoom Marriage, which apparently it is fully recognized by USCIS and there are no issues with it whatsoever according to some posts here. Is that correct?

In the case that we marry using the Utah Zoom Marriage, where do we have our Interview? (Assigned consulate for Russia is Warsaw, Poland. Problem is that Russians cannot enter there unless they get REALLY creative, so most people doing K1 for example are having the case transferred to Turkey, or Kazakhstan.)

As a side question, any idea if AFTER applying to CR1, will it be ok for her to apply for B2 so we can at least meet here whenever we want while she waits for the I-130 to process?

Thank you all in advance!
