If the interview is already scheduled, I'd upload the documents if you think you might need them. It will cause no harm.

Another vote to fly back asap.

Not all forms are eligible for waiver fees, but here is a chart I found. USCIS spends a lot of hours processing fee-free forms.

If you have a US passport, you can go abroad....where do you want to go?

You haven't answered the question. Do you have a US passport? Yes or No?

Where does the mother reside? Once arriving in the US via an IR-5 visa, she could start work immediately.

Classic case of DOA visa application, imho.

Problem #1- Obtaining said visa. This will not be easy for a single PI lady. Problem #2- Each entry is at the discretion of CBP. ANY suspicion of abuse can result in severe penalties and a bar.

Where did you get that definition?

Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

***Moved to Which Visa Do I Need?***

Read my edited post above.

Why do you suspect there would be an interrogation? That was already done at the consulate...LOL I have heard of only one K-1 visa holder being denied entry. When asked by CBP, "Are you going to marry within 90 days/", the visa holder said "Maybe. maybe not". Rumor is that he was swiftly placed on the next flight out.
