ben747 reacted to Unlockable in Applying for AOS before receiving marriage certificate from the court
The K1 visa is already expired. It is a ONE TIME ENTRY use visa. It expired the moment she stepped foot through customs. Plus you have already married within the 90 days so you have fulfilled all of your requirements of the visa. There is no need to rush sending the AOS before you have the marriage cert.
Again, it doesn't matter when you send the AOS. The K1 visa is already expired. They are two separate processes that are somewhat tied to each other. The K1 visa process is completed. You are done with that. Forget about it. The next process is adjustment of status. In order for you to complete that you will need your married cert.

Yes, as stated, the date no longer matters as you've already fulfilled the k1 requirements. The visa is of no importance anymore. Get the marriage certificate, and file AOS.

You need to send it unless you want to delay the already long process of AOS by receiving an RFE.
When you married, you fulfilled the requirements of the k1 visa, so the date of the expiration is of no importance concerning your AOS. As long as you married by the 90 days.

You need to provide the marriage certificate with the AOS petition documents.

Neither my fiance (the petitioner), nor I haven't received anything from NVC. It must be a generic message for all immigrant visas. Though, K visa shows as immigrant, it's proceeded as non-immigrant one. For immigrant visas an interview is scheduled by NVC, but for K viasas the applicants can pick up the date themselves (not in all countries, but definitely in Russia). And the instructions how to pay visa fees are given on the Embassy website. I've done a lot of readngs about the others' experience on K visa in Russia, and nobody mentiones about any instructions received from NVC. You can also contact the consular section of the US Embassy in Moscow by e-mail - consulmo@state.gov, but wait until your case shows READY.

After you got your case # (which will begin with MOS) you can track your case here. When its status changes to READY, it means your documents are in Moscow in the consular. Do not wait anything from them, there is no Packet 3 in Russia.
Please, have you fiancee carefully read this (in Russian). Also, check the US Embassy in Russia web site for the most precise list of required documents https://ru.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/the-interview/.
You fiancee must fill in the DS-160 form (yes, for non-immigrant visa).
How to pay visa fee http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com/ru/ru-niv-paymentinfo.asp You can do it online using your bank card. Wait till the next working day after you make a payment, then it shows in the system. K1 visa fee is $265.
To schedule her interview your fiancee must register here.
And don't forget about her medical exam, information is here (in Russian). Medical fee is $240 (must be paid in RUB in cash during the actual exam).

After the NOA2 you can gather the information needed for the beneficiary such as I-134 form with the supporting documentation ( tax return, letter from your employer showing salary, time of employment their and your in good standing, deposit history from last 12 months signed by a bank officer, and recent pay stubs from your job ). You will need to get that info to your fiancée (e) and they will fill out DS-160 ( believe it is $160 USD ). Can set up medical exam actually before DS-160 and once all that is set can ask for interview appointment from embassy of beneficiary's country

Yup. That said, coming from a guy that designs IT systems for large government agencies like USCIS...please don't go overboard. Those limits are in place to avoid putting too much stress on their systems. The apps aren't doing a "nice" query to USCIS to get the data....they're literally just querying each & every number in a range and extracting the data from their website. We don't want to raise concerns that then gets the service restricted.
And yes, I've been put on the IP ban myself, and do plenty of searches too. Just don't go crazy.

Update for Wednesday January 11th.
For case received on 10/28 there were again ZERO approvals today. No change from yesterday
For cases received on 10/31 there were ZERO approvals today but THREE RFE's
CSC remains at 38 approvals, 35 RFE's and 278 unworked/unapproved cases from 10/31
**correction to last nights number it should say 32 RFE's not 22. There are currently 35 as of today. Typo on my part.**

I just got back from doing a walk-in biometrics in Fort Worth. It didn't go tremendously.
They almost wouldn't do it when they saw my appointment wasn't until the 23rd. The unpleasant man at the desk asked me who said I could come in early, to which I replied that my attorney advised me to try, and that I had seen people say online that they had done early walk-in appointments at other offices without issue.
If the office was busy I could have understood, but I was literally the only non-employee in the building. There were perhaps 50 chairs for people to wait and all of them were empty. He stood for about 10 seconds thinking about it, then had a detailed conversation with an older woman behind him (by which I mean they stared at each other for another 10 seconds) who eventually just shrugged, and that was all the assent he needed to leap into action.
I was only there perhaps 5 minutes, but he acted like not even both mortgaging my soul and selling my firstborn would be enough to repay him for the galaxy-sized favour he was bestowing upon me by doing it early.
I had trouble writing my signature on the little electronic pad as well, since it was directly against a wall to my right and I am left-handed. It came out a bit messed up and ordinarily I would have asked to do it again, but since I wasn't exactly with Mr. Sunshine I just thought "screw it" and it will have to do.
I guess the moral of the story is, while you can do early walk-in biometrics in Fort Worth, you might want to bring a bar of gold or some precious stones in order to repay them for the enormous service they will do for you by doing it early.
