I think the root of misunderstanding here is in the definition: the US looks for an official marriage paper (marriage certificate, probably known as contract in Germany, i wouldn't know). I don't think they'd really care a lot about the reception afterwards per se. But there needs to be a confirmation of an official marriage procedure conducted by local authorities. Many people don't even have a wedding reception / party. I had a tiny little one with just 9 guests.
Of course pics from reception would be considered evidence but it's not the main evidence, it's only additional one. Joint bank accounts, joint lease, medical insurance etc. have much more weight as they show comingling of finances.
But yes, she would need to prove US domicile since she lives abroad now, as the posters above have said.

I think maybe there's a misunderstanding: the immigrant visa, once endorsed at the point of entry, acts as a temporary green card for a year from date of entry. After the arrival the immigrant receives the actual green card in mail and in case the marriage's been less than 2 years old on the date of entry it's a conditional gc for 2 years: quoting from the USCIS site: "You and your spouse must apply together to remove the conditions on your residence by filing Form I-751. You should apply during the 90 days before your second anniversary as a conditional resident." (Proof link)

No prob! Also, for me they put a reminder piece of paper into my passport when i was passing point of entry for the first time (this June). There it also mentions 90 days before 2nd anniversary of entering.
But also keep in mind what Hypnos said about entrance - 6 months from medical (the date till which visa is valid is printed on the visa itself, so it's easy to check).

But he was not asking about how to AOS... He was asking about her visiting as a tourist while the I130 was in process the. Interviewing at her embassy... This process that he specifically said he was planning on going requires that the petitioner return to their home country for interview... Why would I give advice on a process that he did not even say he wanted to pursue? So my advice is not incorrect... Now IF he were to ask how to file for AOS, the. The response would have been different... But he seems to have an idea in place and want to do things the traditional way with her processing from her own country and I gave home the appropriate info... Others seem to be pushing him to "change his mind" and try for AOS ... Which I happen to think at this point could be a risk for him.

Can we NOT encourage people to use VAWA unless there's abuse involved? Jfc

Maybe they're worried about Jews consorting?

Ok, this is really sad, but your wife left today to take care of her mother who is ill and your first concern is about what to do if you decide to end your marriage?!

There are many horrendous, disgusting atrocities in this world committed by males, and awful natural/accidental tragedies, but yeah sure, nothing as bad as a 'bad woman' exists.

That is absolutely ridiculous. You know exactly what you have said and we all can read every single post of yours.
Why do you want to back paddle and lie about your original confusion ?
You didn't even know that front loading was done at the initial petition and called front loading sending evidence at the
embassy stage. Now you claim you knew all about it already. Do you think you are dealing with stupid people here ?
Halfway through the thread you realized thanks to EXPERIENCED members what frontloading is.
We told you as one voice to take evidence to the embassy for your interview.
There has been no bone of contention about us telling you to bring your evidence to the embassy, the only contention came from you
by your constant attitude. I am seriously wondering about your mental stability.
We all have tried to help you to make your interview successful and all you do is confuse yourself with every comment.
Pissing people off with your cocky attitude is a good way to not get further help when you really need it.
Enough is enough. Knock it off. Your arrogance is just plain insulting.
You got THAT now ?

While i feel your pain for the injustice of this universe as an ex-mod of a chat room for adults (not 'adult', just for 18+) i have to say 'Suck it up'. This is exactly why i resigned from being a moderator: most of the people were older than i was at the time and they couldn't manage themselves without fights and other childish #######.

This forum has been my main source of information on the subject for the last year and a half. Worked out great for me. You do know there's also the "Ignore" option, yes?
