"Actively reviewing" is a term they use to mean you are in the queue to be reviewed. An actual human will actively review your case for less than 30 minutes, when you get to the front of that person's queue.

Yes, you should advise him to get his information from a reliable source. You are not one. No, they don't usually waive the interview.

Not an issue. The order of submission is not important.

The "two years" begins on the marriage date. The interview will be a joint interview, and the status will be adjusted based on the marriage being bona fide, in the present tense, on the day of the interview. The two years does not impact adjusting status. It impacts whether a later process of removing conditions is avoided.

Good suggestions. Passport must be valid.

Put your address if that's where she will be living. Her most current entry. In the first line, indicate "Have not yet lived together" Enter only her name in native alphabet. In first address line, type "address is in English" Just leave that section blank. Correct See inserted answers above. This is not a visa case, so expect this topic to be moved appropriately. Since she is adjusting status, you'll be filing I-485 concurrently and three other forms. Follow the appropriate guide by clicking on the word guides at the top of any page here.

Option 2 is fine but only the 2023 is required. Unless there's something about the earlier returns that improves how your finances look, no need to upload more than the current. You'll most likely be updating with 24 return again before the interview anyway.

Not sure if contacting Emma will work. You can also call and ask for a tier two agent. The payment is probably a smaller issue for you than the year or more of delay. Be assertive.

Did you use an address in China as the beneficiary's current mailing and physical address?

Looks good. I would not add any affidavits.

Upload a complete new financial package. Hint...edit the existing PDF file instead of starting over. Maybe a 5 minute task.

Wait until you have an interview date, and then update by uploading a new one.

I advise you to make the necessary adjustments needed to deal with an 18 to 24 month process. In the meantime, stop looking at any other "estimated timeframe".

Yes. You replace a lost document.

Replace or amend. " Our office only issues replacement or amended CRBAs."

Correct, and also there are no certified copies of a CRBA available anyway.

Absolutely makes sense and is explained in the first paragraph.

That's not opening for me.

Please post a scan of the notice with the name covered. No, this does not sound normal, but there may be a clue in the actual wording.

Your now, yes. "To be determined".

When using a copy, you must also include W2s and 1099s associated with the return.

"Somewhere" was wrong. Here's the catch though. Landlords are self employed, so you must take a look at the "total income" line of the latest (all three but latest is critical) and see if that number qualifies. "He" does not have his wife's income, but it can be used with her being the joint sponsor's household member, combining income. The big issues with many landlords is they take big legal deductions that decrease their rental income, often to a negative number. That negative number reduces the total income on the return. The combined income is what you see on the total income line, plus the social security. If you see any reference to the SS on the tax return, its ok but gets a little more complicated. What is the relationship between the joint sponsor and his wife, and the petitioner, and/or beneficiary? This is also considered.

No need to submit anything new from the unqualified people. Your wife should mention the FIL lost their job and is no longer qualified, so they can withdraw his affidavit in favor of the new one.

Putting the wrong embassy will not cause this problem. Putting that you will adjust status will, as will indicating a consulate/embassy....AND....a location to adjust status. Putting the wrong Consulate or Embassy will not cause the problem. NVC will just assign it to the one that serves the physical address of the foreign spouse/applicant.

Sounds to me like you have a handle on it. You didn't intend to marry and adjust status at the time of entry. You have clearly been misusing the B visitor privilege, but if they let you in, I wouldn't worry about further issues with immigration, provided you don't leave the USA before you have advance parole. Note that advance parole and EAD, are approved together and the EAD ID card makes reference to your advance parole.
