Yes, the old series of forms were called Optional Form, by Department of State, they have been changing the term to DS for Department of State. Just two ways of naming the same form, some consulates, and embassies still refere to the form by the old name.
Always use the newest versions.

Simple answer being denied entry as a visitor has NO affect on an immigrations visa, and NO effect at a visa interview.
A Banning happens when a person enters the USA as a visitor and OVER-STAYS the allowed period by 180 days pr more.
What they were saying is if denied entry on VWP, that in future will need a regular visa to enter the USA like an immigrant visa or visitor's visa.

Marriage to US citizen within 90 days of entry on K-1 visa is what establishes your eligibility, along with the K-1 visa it self.

Don't worry about it, the package will be signed for when USCIS picks up the mail.
This is a frequent topic.
And yes we used Priority mail to the PO box in Chicago when filing to adjust status.
Express mail is a waste of $$ getting it their a day quicker wont make the process go any faster.

K-Visas are NON-Immigrant, however have immigrant intent.
Because they are NON-Immigrant, they fill out DS-156, or DS-160 and use I-134 at the visa interview. But because thae have immigrant intent, they are required to have a medical done, and are handled by the Immigrant Visa Unit at the consulate.
Later when entering the USA they can adjust status from NON-Immigrant to IMMIGRANT. Note only IMMIGRANTS get Green-card upon entry.

No fee, just file another I-765 to renew EAD based on pending I-485, you can even e-file this.

NOT Correct, benificiary is not in the USA as an Alien Resident, AR-11 is only for aliens in the USA. Wait until after NOA2 and then when NVC has the case, you contact NVC and get address changed, or wait until NVC sends it to consulate, and contact DOS Visa services and get address changed.

Download and use a NEW I-134, the section on the OLD one you are using needs to be filled out bu a Notary Public. The NEW form does not need to be Notarized.

Moving this to the consulate/embassy forum.
I-134 is needed at time of visa interview, not when filing I-129F

A# above beneficiary name is the Alien Registration Number, it will eventually become green-card number after adjustment of status.
It is not used to track the case.

There is no such thing as AP for a CR-1 visa holder. A CR-1 enters the USA and is issued a green-card wich allows re-entry to the USA after travel abroad. AP is for NON-Immigrant like K-1 visa holder to be able to re-enter while waithing for green-card.
contact your attorney. Your US Citizen Spouse prepares an I-864, and supporting financial evidence.
We saved a boundle and did all immigrations paperwork our selves and did not use a lawyer, so do not have an answer.
Just call IRS and request "Simple" transcripts. http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html
Spouse MUST be primary sponsor and fills out I-864, and joint sponsor does same and fills out I-864 and provides financial evidence.

A few things:
If her intention was NOT to immigrate then you could file to adjust status, as well as AP, and she could travel home with AP, OR remain until AOS is complete.

OR apply for a spousal visa like a CR-1 IMMIGRANT visa, this visa has many advantages over the OPTIONAL K-3.
Keep in mind K-3 (Life-ACT) is a visa type that was developed at at time when USCIS was taking a very long time to process I-130 compared to I-129F (K-1) the K-3's whole reason for existance is to reunite spouses and allow them to wait out the I-130 approval together. Since USCIS has begun the practice of approving I-130 AND I-129F starting last fall, the whole reason for K-3 (Entry to the USA and WAITING for I-130 approval). Since last fall if a person responds to the NVC requests for I-130 things like I-864, and DS-230, the CR-1 can be interviewed within weeks of a possible K-3 interview, not months like in the old days.
K-3:
I-130: $355
I-129F: NONE
Consulate: $131
Adjustment Of Status: $1010 I-485
($1496)
CR-1
I-130: $355
NVC I-864: $70
NVC Visa fee: $400 ($355+$45)
($825)
I see many posts from K-3 holders stating, "Wow this sucks, I am stuck at home because I don't have EAD, DL, etc, or I am having hard time getting added to bank accounts because of NO SSN." K-3 has a 90 day or longer period of limbo while waiting for EAD or Green-card.
K-3 was developed at a time when CR-1 was taking much longer that today, NVC and USCIS has greatly streamlined the CR-1 process to the point where K-3 becomes irrelevant.

The I-130 will be sent to NVC, where you will have to send then I-864, and requested foreign documents like birth cert, police cert, etc... and then sent to the home country for interview and issuance of a visa to step child.
Once step-child enters the USA using the IR-2 visa they will be automatically issued a green-card, no adjustment of status needed.

Yes should be able to travel with the valid re-entry permit.
Just because green-card expires does not mean that residency status has been terminated. Also you do have an I-90 filed and in process.

US Embassy?? The embassies are located on other countries, not in the USA. There is no US Embassy in Washington.
Also what does this have to do wit filing an I-192F? K-1 forum mostly has to do with filing an I-129F petition.

Moving to regional forum...

I say - she shows up to the interview, without him, explain the situation to the USCIS officer. This way, USCIS has a record of stuff, and IMO, won't be any bar or overstay, because she showed up to the interview.
There are other repercussions to this (AOS not approved) but IMO, she'll CLEAR herself with USCIS prior to the airplane flight.

Either way works, however in the case of an adjustment of status will need to be prepared to answer questions as to INTENT upon entry to the USA, if the interviewing officer feels that the INTENT when entering the USA WAS to Immigrate, they can just as well deny the adjustment of status.
Also be aware, sometimes at the POE, if the officer feels there is a possible immigrations intent, they can take the person aside and ask a few more questions, sometimes making the visitor sign a form stating there is NO immigrations intent, which can and does get used to deny an adjustment of status.
Best thing if contemplating immigrations, is for US Citizen to file an I-130 for an IR-5 IMMIGRANT visa and do it the correct way.

Did you hit your head?
A US passport, the book as well as the card, is a CLASS A document. It is the only document that proves not only the identity of a the holder, but also his or her citizenship status.
More to the point, when it comes to the I-9, Uncle Sam does not even accept a Certificate of Citizenship or a Certificate of Naturalization anymore. The only document that proves identity, citizenship, and thus the eligibility to work is the US passport! Why? Because a CoC or CoN has not expiration date and can be faked quite easily, whereas it's pretty darn impossible to fake a US passport.
What does that mean?
It means that the CoC/CoN has only one function: to get the first US passport. Thereafter that passport will serve as proof of citizenship. The CoC or CoN is a purely worst case scenario backup. It may look pretty framed on the wall as well, but is that worth spending $600?
