US Immigration from Russia

My fiance's Spanish schengen visa is single entry despite him asking for a multi-entry visa, even with his squeaky clean and extensive travel history with no visa violations

So just FYI I guess this can happen

I have no idea what we're going to do now

My Russian fiance and I are getting married in a month and then we plan to file the i130 shortly after. Does she need to get her passport changed to her new name before we file the i130? What is the proper way of accounting for the name change in our application?

I have seen a lot of people report delays when they showed up to their interview in Poland with old, expired documents, and new documents which had to be verified or something.

Has anyone shown up with a document that is maybe a few weeks expired, like a police form, or something like a year old income verification on the petitioner's end, and had an issue?

I emailed the Polish embassy and they told me all me and my beneficiary had to do was write updated letters of intent.

My bank statement and income verification are both a year old but still meet requirements. Will this cause an issue? Would I have to get new income verification?

Additionally, my beneficiary's police certificate only lasted 6 months and is now expired. Apparently there is a backlog because many Russians are trying to obtain police records to leave the country so he is not sure if his new one will arrive in time. If he has a recently expired Russian police record but hasn't lived in Russia since, is that acceptable? (He can't exactly do crime in a country he hasn't lived in since the last police certificate was generated)

I am a US citizen and have been to Russia twice, most recently this past summer, which was well after the war in Ukraine started but before the mobilizations started. I am aware that the US State Department has Russia rated "Do Not Travel" and that there are risks involved with traveling there.

My question is, have any US citizens here had a firsthand, recent experience traveling to Russia? Is it too risky to travel there now?

Thanks in advance.

There are at least 2 members here who filed both an I130 and an I129f/k3 application to speed up approval of the I130. In both cases, they got their interviews months earlier than the standard I130 timeline.

My spouse to be has an 11 yr old daughter. I know we have to file a separate I130 for her, but do we need to file a separate 129f for her too?

Also, I've seen discussions here where a spouse's I130 was processed faster than her child's I130. Is there a way to request the 2 I130s be linked in some way and processed in a similar timeframe and subsequently request the interviews to happen concurrently?
