US Immigration from Russia

Hey guys!

I wanted to double check with you before my interview tomorrow. As of now, a temporary speaker of the house is Patrick McHenry, correct? There's so much going on with that race, I want to nail that question if I get it

Hi friends,
For background, we are working through the K-1 (and K-2 for my fiancee's son), my fiancee is in Russia, so will be going the "get to Warsaw to interview there" route, which adds some complexity. If there are any Russian members here, your experience would be super helpful.

We just got NOA2 in the mail and are waiting for the NVC to get us the welcome packet. I am hoping to save time and do preliminary work even before the ID comes in, which looks like should happen within a month. I would appreciate an answer so some things that have been a bit unclear.

1. The NVC will request a bunch of civil documents, if I understood correctly - police reports, marriage/divorce certificates, name change papers, etc. At the same time we would be able to fill out the DS-160. Question - is getting the civil documents uploaded to NVC a critical path requirement before the NVC forwards everything to the embassy (or even processes the DS-160)? In other words, until we get all of the civil documents uploaded will our case be stopped in it's tracks, losing time or will the NVC continue to process and send the case to the embassy and we just need to upload everything at some point before the interview?

I ask because my fiancee has lived in several cities far away and it would take several long-distance trips to track everything down. If we are stopped in the tracks until she does, that means changing priorities and spending more on more urgent travel, which is fine, but need to understand the options.

Bonus question - any Russian applicants, would you be able to share in detail what police report is needed? I have not been able to find any Russia-specific example.

Thanks so much for your help in advance!

For those who've done the exam in Moscow this year, are the results given in a sealed envelope or sent electronically? Can the envelope be sent by courier to a given address in Russia? Just wondering if my wife needs to plan a few days' wait time in Moscow to pick up the results.

Hello,

Does anyone have recent experience parents interview in Almaty ? How fast can you get passport with visa if it's approved? My mother is having her interview in Almaty Nov 2 and Im meeting her there to help out and bring originals. I want to book tickets back ahead but not sure how long it will take for passport to be ready.

Appreciate any tips about interview.

Thank you!

I was compiling back up for our I-130 and noticed a typo on our marriage certificate where the state I was born in is incorrect. It states Dallas, Colorado, USA, instead of Dallas, Texas, USA. I plan to request a revised certificate, but I expect the process will take a while. Does anyone know if this would potentially be an issue?
