  1. Actually no. Nothing you can do will "force" anything. Filing the I-129F for spouse won't hurt, and might prompt another quick look at the I-130 before closing the I-129F. Whatever scrutiny is causing the delay, will continue until it is satisfied. Sometimes this scrutiny involves boots on the ground in Tunisia. Can be a long wait.
  2. If told about receiving passports, that's a visa interview. Visa bulletin is irrelevant. When the bulletin IS relevant, the case sits at NVC. Not sure why you would even entertain the thought this was something other than CR1 or IR1 considering the forum and content of the first post.
  3. Yes, who actually delivers "certified mail" to USCIS is always the USPS and can only be them. But, who carries it to USPS can vary a lot. Requiring a signature when using a courier, is an option but does delay by a day or so. "Registered Mail" is the real slowdown.
  4. "I've heard" is a well known source of misinformation. The instructions for the I-130 will tell you what you need. Download and become an A-student of that document. Click on the word "Guides" at the top of any page here. No letter of intent in a spouse case, when filing an I-130. In a year or so, you'll need to provide evidence of your intent to re-establish domicile in the USA.
  5. I'm aware some people prefer belt AND suspenders. My advice is not based on that. The choice is with the OP.
  6. I will assure the OP, that courier tracking is enough. Certified mail can delay delivery.
  7. It might. Not sure what you're saying though. $32,275 is the minimum income to qualify for a household of 3. That's 125%...OF...the poverty level, not 125%....ABOVE...the poverty level. 124% of equals 25% above. Current income is King, but marginally above only in the most current year is a weak king.
  8. It seems you would have had the option to proceed with the original, if you did not notify NVC to upgrade the petition. Maybe the Naturalization occurred BEFORE the petition was approved??
  9. Correct, but this person has already filed putting nothing in either area.
  10. Upload it but wait until you have an interview date set.
  11. Study those instructions. Your "current income" will come from the "Total Income" line of your tax return. Your son counts in your household size. You only need to supply the latest tax return, but you will enter information from three tax returns. Seems you haven't even looked at the form yet. Becoming an A-Student of both the affidavit itself and it's separate excellent instructions will be critical to your ultimate success.
  12. There is no 90 day or 60 day rule anyway, but the fictional rules don't fit this situation anyway.
  13. Yeah, they don't work that fast, and they do take of all US and Chinese holidays.
  14. "Omission" is NOT a misrepresentation, and certainly not a material misrepresentation, if the person leaves as scheduled, or even later, but within the time granted. Again, it is not illegal to marry while in the USA. What's illegal is to overstay and what "may be perceived" as illegal "intent" is only applicable when adjusting status. I'm not implying or otherwise saying your advice was to volunteer information. It's just that you were not CLEAR about what direct question, would necessitate mentioning the wedding. I've been clear. If you meant the same, then great. No disagreement here. If asked for the purpose of her visit, "to visit my boyfriend" is currently still a truthful, concise answer, for next visit.
  15. I disagree. The reason is that it is perfectly legal to marry and leave. There has been no abuse. You are no more required to mention you will attend a wedding, even your own, than that you may visit a public library. A truthful more generic answer, coupled with a round trip ticket for a relatively short visit, is usually not a problem. If you've been saying you are visiting your boyfriend, then that is STILL true this time. (It won't be next time.) You need not disclose every activity on your itinerary. If specific questions are asked, then of course, you must give truthful answers, but failing to mention a wedding as part of a legitimate "visit" is no different than failing to mention going to a movie or library.
  16. Do they still have that original certified copy or do you?
  17. Yes, if true
  18. "Original Certified Copies" from King County would not be on A4 paper. They would be 8 1/2 X 11". Accuracy counts. Be accurate.
  19. As long as the country was correct, it is most likely a non-issue. Just be accurate during the NVC stage.
  20. There are "original" Certified copies and photocopies of Certified copies. Which did she have?
