WOW .... I'm so confused now ...

When I originally spoke to USICS .. they advised me of what steps to take, and I've been going by that. I explained to him, what we were doing, and why ... he advised us to file the I-130 and once that was complete to file the remaining paperwork needed ...

*sigh* ...

You talked to USCIS national misinformation line.

If you are in a state that considers driving without proper license and insurance is a felony, then if you are caught, you can get into trouble with USCIS.

It's not just the car that is insured, it is the car+driver. Insurance company can deny insurance if anyone other than the insured driver(s) is driving the car.

shouldn't K-1 visa require an intent to marry letter

Th german size is not that off compared to US size. But if the paper size is like 11x17 then its difficult for them to file.

No need for time stamps on photo. Just make sure that the photos are similar to what you folks looks like.

I had the same issue with paper size (no wonder with that). I know they prefer "American Size", but don't worry. One or two sheets of non American is ok.

And I did not have any problem entering the US. The border customs asked me if we already got married and I just told them we had a church ceremony but are not married legally / on the paper.

If you have a church ceremony (marriage), why are you not considered married?

I believe P3 Sent means Consulate sent it. P3 received means they received the requested documents back from you. P4 sent means after they receive p3 back from you, they sent p4 (interview date) to you

Thanks for the reply!

I have never thought about the wedding video.

Do you think it makes a difference if I bring the video on a flesh card, not on CD?

I mean they will still let me inside?

no flash drives. It is considered electronic device. To be honest, I am not sure, if there is any restriction in bringing DVD, but in my case we had the Xray cd and wedding cd. They didnt ask or check.

I was just wondering,

do they look at the evidence of the relationship which people bring with them, like photos, CDs etc.

and give it back at the end of the interview or they keep it?

I had plans on providing a couple of original documents from my previous stays in America,

and just to show them to the Consular and take them back home.

I had front loaded my i-130 with about 3 wedding pictures, and 3 pictures of subsequent trips. I had also included other evidences such as gifts, car insurance etc. For the interview, I took more photos and a wedding CD. However, I believe due to our circumstance (3.5 years since married) and both of same ethnicity and family and education background (both of us are from Asia, my wife just happens to be in Germany for studies), no extra evidences were asked. Only 3 to 4 questions were asked. How we met, when married ( I threw in the bone that it was an arranged marriage) and what I did for a living. But having a CD evidence of wedding ceremony was required in many consulates in previous years when there was no NVC stage and we brought the evidences at the day of interview and not before it.

Can all the relatives there pool the monies together to put in husbands American account so he can qualify on assets?

That's borderline visa fraud that could result in the i-130 filer in jail for very long time and a huge huge fine

I know that its not allowed to bring a cd or dvd inside the FRA Consulate !

We took the wedding DVD and X-ray CD inside. They didn't say anything.

Does Mexico stamp when you cross into Mexico?

My wife is having her interview on 1/28 at Frankfurt. Can she take a wedding CD/DVD to the interview? Will DVD fall under electronic media? In earlier days, consulates used to require it. Do they still ask for DVD's?

Do people take their wedding CD/DVD to the interview at Frankfurt? Do they allow it inside?

No.

I stand corrected.

But isn't duration of each stay and if multiple entries are allowed the CBP officers discretion.

You can look up current processing times, usually a few week to a month or so to get the interview.

The normal B2 is issued for 10 years. YMMV.

It all depends on the CBP officer at POE. It can vary anywhere from few months to 10 years. The CBP officer at POE determines the validity of B2 visa.

What kind of birth certificate did you submit to NVC?

I believe you need to put an address with the customs form when you deplane. Hotel address is also ok.

Yeah she has an employer and She cant search for a job untill unless she gets H1B

can you explain? Has an employer but has to search for job?

Is it true that by Adjusting of Status on B1/B2 visa in USA, will have impact/affect family members getting the same visa in the future?

I would think so. A careful CO should deny any future visit visas from family members.

I am not an expert on the subject but from what I understand from friends is that she will have to find someone to sponsor her for H1B, just like her husband had too. The conversion itself is not a big deal from what I understand, but getting someone to give her a job and sponsor for H1B is the difficult part.

it should be i-130 + i 485.

there is no requirement to change name after wedding.

been there done that. It's very easy to start a fight with long distance and easy to end too. Don't worry too much. We all go thru this.
