US Immigration from Vietnam

I submitted an F1 visa application for a family friend around 10 days ago, to the Recife, Brazil consulate office, and it still won't show me the application status when I enter all the details at https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV. I put in what I believe is the correct information (which I got from the receipt e-mail when I submitted the application) and always get "Your search did not return any data." Should I worry about this, or does it take time to show up in the system? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, I am 24F Vietnamese and married to 24M US citizen. I have stayed in US since 09/2017 under F-1 visa. I started dating my spouse since 2021 and we got married in 08/2022 - a month before he was enlisted in Air Force. We filed I-765, I-130 and I-485 through a service agency 2 weeks before BMT. My spouse got PCS order to Ramstein, Germany and of course, I am included in his order. Before leaving to Germany, he tried to get SOFA for me, however, they would not stamp my passport until I have approval notice of I-130. And he left to Germany without me since June 2023.

I'm currently in medical program and going to graduate this December, then ready to join him asap. So I have tried to submit expedite request for I-130 through MILITARY HELP LINE, Emma, online service. Despite the reason of the overseas PCS, they said I am not eligible to submit the request. I saw some cases similar to mine got expedited within a couple months. My husband will be so desperate if I couldn't join him. PCS to Germany is my idea and he's being suffered staying there without me.

Any advice for my case? Thank you so much in advance.

I have been filing as single on my W-4, but recently married my wife on a K-1 Visa and I am not sure exactly what to do. Should I file as Married filing seperately, or Married filing jointly. My wife does not work, but she does have an SSN and is currently waiting for her greencard and work employment authorization.

Also if I decide to file as 'Married filing Jointly' then should I claim her as a dependent? I just want to make sure I am filling this form out correctly since this is the first time I am filling it as a married man.

I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you in advanced.

Anyone have experience with CRBA interview? What does consular ask? Thank you in advance

The site shows how to prepare the money, in my case I filled out the form so I can pay with my card and put my card info on the form.

Is that all I need to do? Just put that form in the envelope with the i-129f and then mail it? Or is there an online place that I need to go to pay?

Thanks in advance
