Yes. Just use the new passport number next time it's asked for at the NVC stage.

No worries, but it is the I-130 petition that was approved. CR1 is a visa. Visas are only "approved" and granted by Consular Officers. In your case, that's going to be in Manila sometime next year.

Correct. Many here have used the Utah Marriage process, but you must have evidence you were either together at the time of the marriage, or have been together in person between the marriage date and filing the petition.

Only a problem if not true. If the first address covers more than five years, they can see there are no more addresses needed.

You found where to upload the I-130a, right?

No country has more than one US Embassy. Many have multiple US Consulates. Sometimes the Immigrant Visa Unit works out of the Capital City where the embassy is, but very often not. No country has more than one US Immigrant Visa Unit. Canada, China, India, Mexico and many others are examples of countries that have the IV Unit at a Consulate instead of the Embassy. Mozambique, is an example of a country without a US IV Unit, so they interview in Johannesburg. Iran has no US US Embassy or Consulate, so Iranians interview in Ankara or Abu Dhabi.

I meant exactly what I said, literally. No need for any "notification".

Surely you received submission instructions with the 221(g) notice. What do those instructions tell you to do?

Use his new address on the affidavit of support and DS 260. No worries. No "notification".

Actually no. You are talking about adding after the fact. He's asking about adding at the time of submission. You submit the photos and other supporting evidence as part of the initial online submission, or the mailed in package.

Changes nothing. All immigrant visa interviews in Canada are in Montreal.

Do you already have an interview date?

Disregard whatever is telling you that you have a week left. You probably have six months left. From NVC to interview tends to vary a lot in Montreal, but think of at least six months from petition approval to interview. Best realistic expectation is to have a visa sometime about a year from now to late next year.

Great. What "was not returned to" you has now been returned, and you supplied the required documentation.

Copy of passport is not needed by USCIS. A copy of the foreign spouse's passport data page will be needed at the NVC stage. So, now you print two copies of each passport photo and mail them in. Follow the instructions exactly. Don't interpret them an other way than literally. That's how they are written and intended to be understood.

Documents in English or in the local language, do not need translation at the NVC or Consulate stages. For the exact document needed and how to obtain it, start here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html Also download and become an A-Student of the I-864 INSTRUCTIONS and the form itself.

You say you submitted a photo of your passport. That's the problem. You've confused "photo of passport" with "passpor style photos." What is needed is to submit a passport style photo of yourself. The same kind of photo you would submit with a passport application. The instructions are clear on this. Click on the link provided. You'll need more of the same for the beneficiary later at medical and interview.

Yes, it's ok, but I would suggest filing AFTER she is gone, and make sure you uncheck the box on the I-130 that says she's currently in the USA. This can help avoid confusion by USCIS officers. Be sure to leave the adjustment of status location blank or indicate Not Applicable, and then DO indicate the location of the Consulate abroad where she will interview.

Yes, at least for the most recent year, 2023. However, your question indicates you have not yet become an A-Student of the I-864 instructions. That is going to be critical to your ultimate success. Download them right next to where you downloaded the form.

Yes, but since you have no extra pages and your spouse is not currently in the USA, no signature and no passport photo are needed. You just upload the completed PDF. Note, it does not matter who does the typing.

1. There is an instruction about the question about entering 1 for a spouse that says not to count anybody twice. If the form showed a total of two in the household, then you didn't use Adobe Reader, or never entered 1 as the number of intending immigrants you were sponsoring higher up in the form. 2. If his income won't continue from the same source once in the USA, it cannot be counted. Same goes for yours. His liquid assets can be counted. Did you indicate his assets as a household member, or as the intending immigrant? They should have been entered as the intending immigrant. You need to properly complete the I-864, and submit again as corrected. This is your mistake or mistakes, not the Consulates.

Allotted? No such thing. If more time is needed, it is taken, but yes, it usually takes less than 30 minutes.

It's a long queue.

My advice is to ignore all estimates of time. None are reliable. Expect the cases to be processed together. If not, their processing time will be similar. There is absolutely no reason to think otherwise. It's a black hole. Adapt.

I suspect you checked a wrong box somewhere. You only use an I-864a in joint sponsor cases. Even if using your foreign spouse's income that will continue from the same source, the I-864a is not required when the applicant is spouse of a US Citizen. Either YOU made a mistake or they did, but no I-864a from spouse of US Citizen. Did you count your husband twice, once as the sponsored immigrant and again as your spouse?
