    Your assertion did not specify a country, nor did you mention it in the context of what is asked for during the interview. You made a general assertion regarding what the CO would "know" from the file. It was a false/misleading assertion. That's why I corrected it.

    See bold above. The CO would only know that if it is part of the evidence submitted. Usually, it would not be. Even if a couple marries on the first short visit, sometimes the declaration of love and proposal was before meeting in person. They can see the whole file, but they cannot see what is NOT in the file. They may or may not know how much time the couple has spent together. They should know how much time the couple was together prior to filing the petition, but may have no idea about time spent together after that.

    Keep pursuing the reschedule. Missing that appointment was a big mistake. Probably something to do with a corrupted electronic file of your fingerprints. For clarity, your petition was approved before your case went to the National Visa Center. Your visa was either CR1 or IR1. I-551 is a green card or the combination of the visa and the entry stamp acting as a temporary green card for a year.

    That will work fine. So will what I suggested. No need for both.

    I don't really know what you mean by "certificates" for name changes. I know the method I described will work.

    The marriage certificate for the first marriage, combined with the divorce decree will document her name changes. It shows the woman born as Mary Smith, changed her name to Jones when she first married. Divorce decree documents her change back to Smith. Your marriage certificate to her documents the most current name change from Smith to the new married name, if applicable, but mostly it is needed to document that you are married to the mother of her children.

    No, it cannot. Your spouse must enter with you or already be in the USA when you enter. You cannot enter before the US Citizen spouse does.

    You need a photocopy of a certified copy of the marriage certificate in each of the stacks. What is needed for a step child and for a spouse is clearly stated in the I-130 instructions. Study them carefully and apply them to your circumstances.

    Your friend is wrong. The visa combined with entry stamp is a temporary green card for a year. Immigrant must enter with or after the US Citizen.

    I wouldn't bother with getting the visa re-issued, if you can make the two trips as you mentioned. However, that first trip will need to be both of you. She cannot enter ahead of you. It must be together, or after you.

    Read those instructions more carefully this time. Like I said, the instructions are pretty clear how to use the beneficiary's assets.

    Think in terms of each beneficiary's stack being able to stand alone, so yes to both your birth certificate, any divorce decrees, and the marriage certificate. For each stack, also include your wife's first marriage certificate, and divorce decree. Those will document the name change and are needed anyway.

    Since you'll probably be transferring the liquid assets to the USA anyway, it could be a good idea to do that, but it is not required. Have you studied the I-864 instructions and the form itself? It's pretty clear how to use the beneficiary's assets.
