US Immigration from Taiwan

Hi. I had a very specific question regarding the Utah marriage. A friend of mine brought it to my attention that USCIS and especially the consulate might not like how it was done.

My wife and I met online. 3 months later we got married online through Utah. Before we got married, we never once met each other in person. About 8 months after getting married we met in a third country and have been together for a total of just over 1 year. We have evidence of living together, including pictures, stamps and all the typical requirements. My only concern is that they will question the validity of a marriage based on never meeting once in person before marriage and getting married so soon.

I also, sadly, don t have much chats from before we married since we both have since changed our phones and lost that data. I do have some screenshots of us on video calls around the time when first met, but they aren t dated.

Thanks

Not sure if I should post this in the K3 or current forum, as it has to do with both. Recently on various group chats and forums I ve seen many I-130s with PDs from April 2022 get approved this month with K3s they submitted and got denied. Obviously the K3 didn t directly help since it wasn t expedited and was just flat out denied. However, their CR1 case was approved way faster than the rest of us who didn t submit a K3. Could it be, then, that submitting a K3 with a CR1 speeds up the case indirectly?

Hi,

So here's my situation. Filed I-130 for my wife last month. She's Chinese citizen, was going to stay in China during the process, but situation changed, and in about 3 months we will be moving to Taiwan (she has legal residency in Taiwan) . I want to change the consulate where she will later interview at to Taiwan, and I want to make the request as soon as I can, so there's no problem with the location when the times comes to do the interview. How should I do this?

Should I inform USCIS and/or NVC now about the impending change? Wait until we actually moved? Wait until the our case is sent to NVC and then inform NVC? or something else?

And how much time will this add to the overall process, if any?

Thank you.

Hello,

I just recently came across something that says you can add documents as evidence after an I-130 has been submitted? I had a lawyer submit my original I-130, and I m pretty sure he did it online. I was locked out of my USCIS account, and haven t been successful in getting their help to unlock it. Anyways, since we submitted the original I-130, I ve been back too and lived with my wife for 10 months now. Should I add that evidence? Or should I leave as is with current 2.5 month vacation we had?

Thanks

A Chinese woman here in the USA has overstayed her B1 visa by several months. She is convinced she can marry an American and start the R-1 process but I think her application would be denied and she would have to return to China where it is likely she would be denied entry because of the overstay. Is this correct?
