No need to . You will not receive anything else from USCIS. The I-130 will move to NVC, where the petitioner and beneficiary will have to upload documentation as instructed by NVC. When the beneficiary completes the DS-260, when all documents have been accepted/qualified, and when the case reaches the front of the queue, NVC will schedule the interview at the appropriate consulate based on the current physical address of the beneficiary as listed on the DS-260. See the DOS web site for the process sequence.

We changed our address 2 times while our I-751 was pending....using online AR-11 and I-865. No issues.

Maybe should have taken the envelope to a deferred inspection site.

Van Holland has created a monster which he won't soon overcome. Do these people EVER consider the consequences of their actions? https://www.facebook.com/reel/4096431130594611

You were misinformed if someone told you that you cannot visit your spouse in the US while an I-130 is pending. Many, many, many spouses visit in the US during the process.

The same visitation rules apply to both the K-1 and CR-1....the very same. You can visit at the discretion of CBP at the border. There is no prohibition to entry into the US after marriage to a US citizen or after starting the spousal visa process.

That is inaccurate. You were misinformed. There is a megathread regarding that subject.

Correct me if I wrong. This guy entered the US illegally, correct? A Judge issued a removal order, correct? Garcia applied for asylum after the removal order was issued, correct? Van Holland is insane, imo. He is definitely on the wrong side of an 80/20 issue.

Seems to me you have 30 days to get a drivers license in Ohio after moving there: https://www.bmv.ohio.gov/new-to-ohio.aspx "New Ohio Residents Welcome to Ohio! You are considered an Ohio resident once you: Take a job, Sign a lease, Buy a home, or Enroll children in school Within 30 days of establishing residency, you are responsible for transferring your out-of-state driver license or ID card, vehicle title, and vehicle registration to Ohio." Here is an old thread discussing Ohio DL and Canadians. It seems Ohio has no direct exchange program as do some states.

Great point

I thought you could use Table B....which appears to show you current now.

OK. Got it.

***Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, or Tourist Visas*** It would not wait until current. It would be denied. You must be current when filing.

What would be the benefit? F2a category was current for adjustment in Jan 2023 when you filed, was it not?

I would bring to the interview.

I made an edit to my comment. I think you are about half way to a decision.

Use the date on the certificate.

Official USCIS instructions say to enter "N/A". Do not give USCIS the impression that you accidentally forgot to answer a question. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-485instr.pdf Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks, “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed.

The cost for an I-129F when filed after an I-130 is $0.00. You can file one, but there is no guarantee it will speed up the I-130. The I-130s I have seen lately are processed in about 16-17 months. I'd say you are about half way there.

You would need a new I-864 to reflect an increased household size.

Are you a US citizen?

***Moved to Bringing Family Members of Perm Residents to America*** What is the priority date of each I-130? Their priority dates must be current in order for NVC to schedule an interview.

We did. The officer wanted to see evidence of marital union from date we submitted our I-751 to date of interview......44 months later...LOL

Yes. You need evidence that you are actually living together as a couple. Time to put on your thinking cap. Ask yourself "How can I prove we are living as a couple"? Letter from landlord Personal affidavits from family or friends (normally weak evidence...but you have no choice) ANYTHING showing you both living at the same address Beneficiary documents (insurance, etc) Healthcare proxy statements Wills, trusts, etc. I strongly suggest you start thinking about the evidence you will need for your I-751 in 2 years after you get through this Adjustment of Status interview.

This is not the time to be conservative with evidence. I would send evidence spanning the entire marriage. This what we submitted: Apartment lease with both our names & signatures Joint bank checking acct statements since wife's arrival in June 2017. Deed for new home with both our names Mortgage Lender Letter with both our names. Credit Cards showing both on joint account with same card number. Amazon delivery label showing both names and our current address. Wife's Military Dependent ID card showing me as the sponsor. Tricare Eligibility Letter showing both of us together. Military pay statement showing wife as my benefic. Texas Health Care Directives appointing each other as sole health care proxy(Advanced Directives) Our Texas driver's licenses with same address for both of us 2018 Joint Tax ReturnTax Returns Pictures of us on special occasions here in the US. Car Insurance Cards showing both of us as insured drivers for our car Boarding Passes for Las Vegas Valentine Day Trip 2019 Utility application showing both our names for our current address
