US Immigration from Russia

As it says in the heading.

I'm the citizen petitioner.

She's the foreign beneficiary.

I've been married before and submitted my divorce decree, all pages.

She's never been married before and yet they sent an RFE for her first marriage - final divorce decree.

In response to their RFE I submitted my first marriage certificate in addition to my divorce decree. I'm thinking... how could they be asking for a divorce decree for someone never divorced?

They rejected my marriage certificate and reiterated they want a "divorce decree, annulment, or death certificate for (spouse)" in a second RFE.

What do they want? What is this nonsense?

My wife is having combo roc/citizenship interview in April based on marriage to the U.S. citizen.
1) Shall I (her husband) come to this interview? Letter mentions that there are limitations in n who can enter due to Covid. In addition, shall I bring our 2.5 year old or leave her with the babysitter?
2) I have been married twice before. I have my last divorce decree original but my first divorce decree only copy. Do I have to get an original for the first divorce?

thanks

My wife had her medical examination at the IMC Almaty office on Mukanova street today for her IR-1 visa. Two things that are noteworthy that we wanted to post here for anyone about to do the same.

1) She had to receive 2 vaccinations and was charged 25,000 Tenge total for them. She paid 95,000 Tenge (70,000 for the exam and x-ray + 25,000 for the 2 vaccines). She was not offered the COVID-19 vaccine, does not have it, and is not required to as Russian vaccines are not CDC or WHO approved.

2) She was told that "family reunification visas" are not given envelopes with documents anymore and that they are now done electronically. I told her that that is not what all the paperwork we have received from the IMC and consulate has said. She actually went back to IMC and told them that she is getting an IR-1 visa and that we were told she would receive a sealed envelope to take to the consulate. They told her that it is no longer done like that and it is all electronic now.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am concerned that we may have problems at the consulate but there is nothing we can do as my wife already returned to IMC to clarify the situation.

My fianc and I are getting married online on March 3. She is Russian and we are meeting in Turkey for the ceremony. I will receive the marriage certificate back in the US about two weeks later (around March 17) and I need to get it to her in Russia. Is anyone planning a trip to Russia in late March or early April and willing to take the document? Maybe someone you know is going? Please contact me, if you know someone. Thanks!

Hi

My current green card will expire in July 2023. I applied for a new card and surprisingly it was delivered within a week after my online application to my address in USA. I am currently out of country and I wonder if my current green card is still valid. I am coming back to US in March.

Thank you

Alex
