Their Senators office got them an expedite without any valid reason?
Would be a first.

I would also wait. They should return your packet to you without entering it into the system, and the I-129F instructions explain how this happens. But USCIS doesn't always follow policies to the letter (for example, the instructions say they will try the transfer up to two times, and in your case they supposedly tried four times). You should get the packet soon anyways, meaning you wouldn't gain that much time by sending a new packet now.
How about a little personal responsibility here? I know people can be in tough situations financially, and I'm not judging you for that, but it wasn't USCIS' fault that there were insufficient funds, and the instructions clearly state they may try the transaction more than once (see above).

that phrase, about divorce, IMO is coming about because of his fear. How to reduce his fear? No, not fear about divorce - I think he has some other fear, and he's trying to substantiate and sustain this fear in other ways [ie, discussion about divorce].
I'd like to think, that the two of you were married because of love. I ask that you dig deep, and try to examine what a love-sustained marriage looks like, and try to recreate that in the next few weeks. No, it doesn't mean to diminish your 'self', but to extend your 'self' to include 'two'.
I'll also suggest that your husband is in a lot of pain about something, or a collection of somethings. No, I'm not going to ask what it is, or how it is, but this pain is manifesting itself in strange ways, not-normal ways. Since he is adamant to not see a therapist, he's also shut off any avenue to learn new skills for relieving and shunting this pain (again, IMO) .
Do you two do any other activities together? Have common interests about something? If yes, try to do more of these activities throughout the week, as it's very important, when trying to facilitate change, that two people feel comfortable about something, something else, as usually 'change' is extremely painful.

I understand your frustration, but I think you're misattributed several points to TSC in your letter. First, they're not the ones you speak to on the phone "every day." Second, you don't know that they're "refusing to do their jobs" because you don't know what the workload is, how many cases of all petition types are distributed among how many workers, or how time-intensive each kind of petition is for them to evaluate. Third, the fact that they have to "judge your relationship" is part of the K-1 visa process, like it or not. Fourth, you don't know if they've taken the last few days off, because the only information you have about specific cases comes to you secondhand via Igor's List, which has become increasingly inaccurate in recent months thanks to some confused or just plain lazy VJ users. And finally, TSC has nothing to do with CSC's workload, since the decision of how to allocate caseloads comes from higher up than one individual service center.
I think you have to evaluate what good versus what bad could come from sending a letter like that. Best case scenario: someone doesn't read it, or glances at it before throwing it in the garbage and forgetting about it. Maybe you relieve some stress temporarily, but that will wear off quickly because you still won't have your NOA2. Worst case scenario: your case takes even longer because someone takes offense and wants to make a point to you. This shouldn't happen, since you should be able to express your opinions and frustrations, but we're talking about real people with real feelings and real egos to protect.

The argument is (FIRST LINE OF THE PAGE): If men don't know basic facts about a woman's body, how can they legislate it?
If men don't know the basic facts about ______, how can they legislate it? (FILL IN THE BLANK W/YOUR IMAGINATION)
Ex:
Orbital Maneuvering system engine
criminals / criminal law
underwriting
macroeconomics

You're talking about two different things.
Entering the US on a tourist visa with the intent to get married and then leave is perfectly legal. It can be declared at POE with no problems as long as you meet the other stipulations of strong ties, etc. Many people on this board have done it, there are threads here about it.
Entering the US on a tourist visa with the intent to marry, stay in the US and adjust, is not legal and you will be sent home.
Big difference between the two.

The RFE was for using the G325 and not G325A. I'm guessing he wouldn't have gotten one if he had used the correct form and written K-1, but as I said in my initial reply, it's impossible to know for sure.

There is no minimum or maximum number of pictures or any other kind of supporting documentation. You can include as few or many as you feel necessary.

Mailing it from abroad is fine, but you need to pay the fee with a US money order or check. Also, you need a permanent address where hard copies of notices can be sent.

You were at CSC, the OP will be at TSC. Two completely different ballgames.
That thread is over five years old. Some adjudicators might let you get by with an unsigned G-325A, but it is far from certain. Do you really want to risk delaying your case by at least a few weeks because of a form missing a signature?

You can't edit a document that she's already signed. You can either submit it as-is and then have her take a corrected copy to the interview, or redo the form and have her send you a new signed one and then submit it with the I-129F.

You can do that or if your DS-3025 from Knightsbridge is sufficient, use it. Read all this for information. It's some information I have compiled.
Do I need a medical exam?
What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical exam overseas?

If you were admitted as a:
A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or as a
B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and
C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:
1. You are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination, and the medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition, or if you did have a Class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility and have complied with the terms and conditions on the waiver.
From the I-693 instructions page 4, Section III. 2, c, 2

Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the vaccination report completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you are required to submit the vaccination record and page 1 of Form I-693.
Do you need an I-693 immunization sheet? Is my DS-3025 filled out properly?
Look at your DS-3025. If it has the ALL of the following items, you don't need an I-693 (Adults 19-49 yrs old).
1. Shots marked with a date (at least one of a series)
MMR (two are required but if you have "insufficient time interval" checked, then you get a waiver)
Td or Tdap or DT or DTP or DtaP (One no longer than 10 years ago, ie.have a booster)
Varicella or VH written by it if you had chickenpox
Influenza (during flu season)** see note below because you are most likely okay without it.
2. Everything else marked not age appropriate, insufficient time interval, not flu season...things that allow a waiver.
3. RESULTS section filled in with "incomplete" and "may be eligible for blanket waiver" ticked or "complete" (but complete is rare).
4. Signed and dated by the doctor
If it's not completed EXACTLY like that then see a civil surgeon for the I-693. If it is complete, send a photocopy of your DS-3025. Almost isn't good enough. It needs to be filled out properly.
The USCIS is supposed to have your K1 medical files, but sometimes lose them or fail to match them up with your AOS. Do not get another exam unless you get an RFE that says they do not have results of your medical. It means they lost them, but you are probably stuck with paying for a new exam. Those kinds of RFE's are not about the immunizations or the form I-693; they are because USCIS failed to match up your other medical exam results with your AOS application.
**Note on flu shot: Flu shots are required for adults of all ages (changed Nov 2010) if your visa exam was between (Oct 1 and March 31). But if the AOS adjudicator picks up your case when it is not flu season, you will be excused. And the reverse is true. The adjudicator picks up your case during flu season, but sees it was NOT flu season when you had your medical exam, you are also excused because the date they go by is the date of your exam to determine if you were current on that date. Keep in mind that if you go to a civil surgeon for an I-693, then you are resetting the medical exam date for immunizations and you may have to get second doses of shots or a flu shot to become current on your new immunization date of record.
What if I only had one dose of MMR and it's marked "insufficient time interval"? Do I need to another dose and must I see a civil surgeon before AOS?
NO you do not need to see a civil surgeon unless USCIS loses the whole medical file you turned in at POE. If you were up to date the day that DS-3025 was signed, then you're okay without getting 2nd or 3rd doses. You can get them for your health, or you can not get them ever. It was not medically appropriate for you to get dose 2 on top of dose 1. There's a time interval for doses. So you get a waiver for "insufficient time interval" if that is marked on your DS-3025.
If you are one of the unlucky ones with a lost medical, then you will have to get a full medical again. By then, enough time would have passed for dose 2 so expect the CS to say you need it. Hopefully it won't come to that.
If you just chose not to get a second dose that was due (because it was more than 4 weeks since dose 1) then you wouldn't have that "insufficient time interval" waiver marked on your DS-3025. It was medically fine to have the second dose and you didn't. You aren't complete and have no waiver excuse.
What if I don't have a DS-3025?
If you are positive that you got the needed shots, then actually mailing in a DS-3025 photocopy is not necessary. The original form is with your other medical results and was turned over to USCIS at POE. That's actually the one that counts because it remained in the "chain of custody" so you didn't have an opportunity to alter it. The photocopy isn't really an official copy and is more for a reminder that you got complete at your visa exam. Of course without having a copy, you don't have the opportunity to see if the rest of the form was completed correctly.

Dude, bad idea to post a picture without permission of someone who can be identified, and couple it with information that insinuates it is your ex and her supposed lover. You are trying to weasel around this by saying "whether or not that is my ex," but that really wouldn't hack it if either one of those people somehow found this post and your avatar together. You could be looking at a libel claim. Just a bit of advice. You gain zero by having it up, and could be evidence of unclean hands should you get to the point of litigation. Really uncool. Save your "proof" for legal proceedings.
Believe it or not, I'm saying this for your own protection.

I am not your lawyer, but I am a lawyer. This is some friendly advice I'm giving you in my personal capacity, and meant with the best of intentions. Posting pictures of others on a publicly-accessed message board coupled with insinuations that it is evidence of cheating is not a road I'd personally go down. This is best saved for your attorney.

I think the other people have given you good advice regarding filing for a no fault divorce, but if you are worried about his underhandedness, I wouldn't hesitate to get a lawyer.
That being said, I find your above quoted statement concerning. If that is the attitude you had, then one should not be upset to find out that one's partner took full advantage of this. Cheating is not a man being a man, but rather a player/cheater being a player/cheater. Even from a health perspective it is concerning that he had unprotected sex with someone else and didn't tell you and probably didn't get tested and then proceeded to have unprotected sex with you. You are lucky that you'd didn't catch something worse than a PITA from this man.

This is the mistake that so many people make and one of the reasons why the timelines are so inaccurate now. You did not send your application to TSC, but rather it was routed there by USCIS.

Anecdotally speaking, it seems that anytime two people have known each other or each others' families since childhood, consulates automatically become suspicious and evidence of a romantic relationship becomes even more important.

What does her working at a bar have to do with her eligibility for a fiancée visa? I'm a little confused about that part.
Also, if she's asking you for money (which you kind of implied by "I can't give her the money she needed"), I would think long and hard about whether this would even be a good decision in the first place.

Some of the information above is dangerously casual. OP, you appear to be beginning the petition process. (The visa process comes later, after petition approval.) A crucial piece of missing evidence is which consulate you'll eventually deal with for the visa process. If it's a rough one (and, often, even if it's not), front-loading your petition with evidence of your bona fide relationship can pay dividends or ward off disaster. Where does your fiancee live, and (if different) where is she from?

Two things come to mind:
1. It seems you know what the right thing to do is. You're not going to find many people on these forums telling you to get married (without following the legal protocol, with a K-1) when you know what your girlfriend did was illegal.
2. This is a little off-topic and maybe even nosy, but if your "girlfriend" makes such life-altering decisions without even informing you...are you sure she's really your girlfriend and that you want to marry this person? How do you know this is the first time she's done this?
