I'd take him to the side and say, "look buddy, I love you, you're the man of my dreams, my hero, etc. But you brought me to a foreign country, promising a great future and undying love, yadayada, and you aren't doing any of that, and I'm beginning to feel very uncherished and unloved. Now it's time for you to buck up, be a man, stop having a pity party for yourself and get to work living up to your promises, before I slap the ####### out of you. "

The link you were given goes to the step by step instructions that you are looking for. There are only three ways to file for a wife; If she's in the US, if she's outside the US, and if you are both outside of the US legally and living in a country which does DCF. That's it. I'm not sure what else you are hoping to find. The guide is even called;

Like NLR said, why don't you call them?

I like the fact that the organizers keep VJ so organized and orderly.
I'm personally not one for too much moderation, and I've never used a report button in my life. If someone pisses me off, I just don't bother with them any longer. But, I can understand that VJ is here to serve a larger population than myself, some of whom are more sensitive and need the "protection" that moderators provide.
I also prefer blunt and to the point responses, and I find plenty of that here, so I'm happy.

Good luck with that.

Only one way to find out. Honesty is always the best policy, even if you don't get the result you want.

They told you what their "legal" options are. She can stay until her tourist visa expires, they can file her I130 petition now, and she can complete the process back in her home country, just like every other married immigrant has to do. You won't find a lot of support here for helping people to commit visa fraud, which you've already admitted your friend and his wife have done upon her entering the US fraudulently by lying to the CBP officer at POE.

I think it's both acceptable and accurate.

We could always use more good, organic farmers in America. And I know many farmers here, who live that same lifestyle that you mention. Family, hard work and faith.

You'll get an IR-1 at the interview or POE, just bring your marriage certificate to show the date.

Apparently, you have 60 days to change over your foreign license.

NOA2 is when your petition to apply for an immigrant visa is approved. After NOA2 you still have to apply for the IR-1 visa itself, at the NVC. Have you not read the guides above?

The birth of your baby is further evidence of your bonefide relationship. I'd think you'd want to happily share the joyful news with everyone, including the embassy at his interview. My advice is to send what was mentioned above.

I would directly answer each question asked as you stated in the second part of your answer, and wait for them to ask for proof. But that's just how I respond to authority figures in general. I'm sure others will be along to offer their own opinions. Good luck and godspeed.

I believe those are supposed to be safety features for children. I remember reading about that after a boy was abused and murdered in a public bathroom on a california beach back in the 80's or 90's. Same with those really short or high off the ground doors like at Mcdonalds.
