    1. Yes, USCIS and consulate in Morocco will recognize a Utah online marriage if done properly. 2. Absolutely. USCIS will not recognize a marriage until both spouses are in the same place either during or after the marriage ceremony. You would have to (1) marry via a Utah online marriage, (2) meet, then (3) start the CR-1 process...in that order. For the purpose of immigration, a couple must consummate the marriage before USCIS will recognize the marriage. Consummation, per USCIS standards, means being in the same place during or after the ceremony. You cannot file a proper I-130 until the marriage has been consummated.

    You aren't the first to need the "intent to re-locate" route from the UK. I don't see a big issue.
  3. Crazy Cat
    No. Family based visas require either proof of domicile or a plan of intent to establish domicile. Evidence of concrete plans to re-locate to the US should work. I don't recall the London consulate being too difficult.

    One more thing related to this subject of "legal alien allowed to work": A K-1 entrant could immediately apply for an EAD. However, the approved EAD would expire when the I-94 expires (assuming it was approved within 90 days). Thus, K-1 entrants normally apply for an EAD when they apply to adjust status (I-485).

    For reference, here is a partial list of visa categories which are allowed to work. K-1 fiance visa is one of them. You still need authorization (EAD). Visa Classifications That Allow You To Work In The United States | SSA

    "legal alien allowed to work".

    Go to the SSA office and apply for a SSN BEFORE you marry.
  8. Crazy Cat
    1. No. SSA will not process a new SSN within 2 weeks of the expiration of your I-94 (90 days after entry into the US). Note: The K-1 visa expires as soon as you enter the US. 2. A K-1 entrant qualifies for a SSN. Follow the guide:

    USCIS will assign you a place and date/time for the oath ceremony after your interview and approval. You might be able to reschedule afterwards.

    Go to Field Offices | USCIS Go to "Field Office Locator". Enter your zip code to find your local office.

    I was referring to tax documentation. I guess I should have said "As the primary sponsor, your TAX documentation requirements are the same as your joint sponsor." That is what I was referring to..
  12. Crazy Cat
    That is false. As the primary sponsor, your documentation requirements are the same as your joint sponsor.

    USCIS timeline estimates are historically inaccurate. However, I hope it is accurate in your case because it could signal that processing times have drastically improved.
  14. Crazy Cat
    IMO, no. For spousal family-based I-485s, either the I-130 is not required (K-1 visa holders who marry within 90 days) or the I-130 is adjudicated at the same time as the I-485. It is not a process where the I-130 first goes through a pipeline, followed by the I-485 going through its pipeline.

    My neighbor already had completed biometrics, but later received an RFE for her I-485. RFEs can come at any time during the process.
  16. Crazy Cat
    Yes. If you have your Naturalization Certificate, you can apply for a passport.

    Another vote to wait until the interview.

    All seems well. It's been only a couple business days. Sometimes, the officers are a little slow in updating.
  19. Crazy Cat
    Not all attorneys give good or accurate advice. I would definitely find a new one.
  20. Crazy Cat
    Attorney's advice is not completely correct. You cannot enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and live in the US. That is visa fraud. You can marry while in the US as a visitor, start the CR-1 process and leave, but you cannot enter as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status. A CR-1 takes somewhere between 1-2 years.
  21. Crazy Cat
    As long as she listed her A number, it should be fine.
  22. Crazy Cat
    Yes.
  23. Crazy Cat
    Yes. BTW, the Dallas office notified me just 2 days prior to wife's N-400 interview that it would be a combo.

    I think you'll have your 10 year card before, but your extension letter and expired Green Card would be OK to re-enter the US. You just need evidence of your status to board the plane and to re-enter. I wouldn't go through the hassle required to get an ADIT.
