US Immigration from Russia

Sorry for this silly question, but i want to check before sending my AOS package (i-130, I-130A, I-485, I-131, I-756). If i put evidences of bona fide marriage in the I-130 (photos, joint bank accounts and credit cards, insurance, memberships), shouldn't i double them and attach them to my I-485 too?

And other one question, I am going to change my phone and phone number next month, is there a problem that i mentioned my husbands phone number in all these forms?

Thank you!

Hi,

I am looking at flight options for my wife in Russia who has her CR-1 visa, and since she is not Covid vaccinated she will be flying before November 8th.

Unfortunately there are no direct flights from Moscow to San Francisco, so one option is for her to fly from Moscow to LAX but the flight connections to Moscow from her home town are terrible (either really long or super short).

So another option is for her to fly from Moscow through a major hub in Europe like Frankfurt or Paris or Amsterdam to SFO. But this is where the existing travel ban from Europe comes into play.

Currently (allegedly until November 8th) anyone traveling from/through an EU country to the US is not allowed to enter, but I read that immigrants on a CR-1/IR-1 visa fall under a blanket exemption? Does anyone have more details about this and perhaps a link to the relevant rules on the DoS website? I also worry whether the people at the airport in Moscow or Frankfurt know about this exemption, any experiences with this? I wouldn't want her to get stuck at check in because some airline clerk doesn't know about these rules.

I heard that there is e-filing of the I-751 package but I cannot find it on the USCIS site or anywhere on visajourney. Is there only paper filing via snail mail or there is commonly used option of electronic filing online? Thank you.

Just curious to see what the VJ consensus on mask wearing in 2021 and beyond is.
