I’m sorry to rain on your parade, but the Consulate Officer approved visas, not USCIS. You’re far from coming to the US yet. Plus, you hid the charges and were approved. Very different from coming clean and still being approved. Im confused. In your post you said you didn’t tell them…

EAD around 8-9 months. AOS on average 1-2 years

It is not, as long as their circumstances changed while being in the US. My point was that friend was inaccurate on saying that courts issue SSN. SSNs are issued only by the SSA. People that adjust status mark the option "yes" when asked if you are applying for a SSN on form I-485

Well, she is right. You can overstay your visa and unauthorized stay and work are fogiven as a courtesy to the USC. For example, someone comes on a tourist visa to visit their fiance. While they're visiting, the fiancé proposes. Then they decide to stay and adjust. That is legal. What is fraud is to come with a tourist visa with the preconceived intent of adjusting status. In your case, if you wanted to, you could stay and adjust your status here. You could withdraw your CR1 as long as you did not lie at the POE about the aim of your visit.

On your own? Or with an accountant? If you went to a CPA you should have signed an agreement form that could back up that you filed jointly. Your tax return (w2s, etc) show your marital status, right? Then send the whole tax return, with a letter explaining the situation. Hopefully this is not the only evidence you can send!

I'll be sending positive vibes!!!!

Because it's USCIS. Basically because it depends on the local field office and how

Depends on what visa you came with. If you were (for example) on a student visa for a while, and you decided to get married and adjust status within the US, you should not leave. I myself and tons more did that. However, if you married and filed for a CR1, you need to wait it out outside of the country. Wrong. If you stay here and file for AOS, you have to file form I 765 and wait until you get your EAD in order to work. If you file for a CR1, once you have the visa and fly into the US, you will be a resident as soon as you land, and thus you'll be able to travel. Your friend should refrain from giving advice on immigration. Clearly they don't know what they're talking about.

Oh wow! I already sent mine (I'm a February filer) and was wanting to compare our packets. They're similar. Hope to get a fast approval soon. Congrats again!

You're being waaaaaayyyyy too optimistic imho. I'd actually make sure it gets there a few days after the 90 day windows open. You don't want a rejection for filing too early.

Congrats! Can you just please briefly state what evidence you sent? Thanks!

Yes it is! I think my PD is February 3rd, but my SC is LIN. I feel like LIN has been "dormant" for quite a while, and someone was telling me they tend to work in batches where there is silent for a while, then massive approvals. Apparently they're working on 2021 January cases, so that would mean a year of waiting for me. But then again, I have also seen cases where people that have been waiting for longer are "stuck" and they approve more recent cases. I don't think you can because ROC does not confer an immigration benefit itself or a change of status, if you know what I mean. It's not like if it takes too long you'll be out of status... So I don't think you can. But I was thinking of raising a SR in August if I don't hear from them. It's not going to hurt!

Call USCIS, say info pass, request an appointment at your local FO for an ADIT stamp.

Your situation is very specific and you might not find someone with that specific same situation. I sent you some resources yesterday. Maybe that will help. Not nitpicking but on your previous posts you said that he was legally allowed to stay THREE YEARS. Then you also said that the overstay was during that time period. That doesn’t make sense. Not sure if there’s a language issue? Also, as @Jorgedig said, claiming asylum and then going back to the country where you were being prosecuted is a big NONO. He could have gone from Colombia to Argentina. We’re pretty open. Again, you might not be finding the answer because maybe nobody has been in that situation before here in VJ. It seems doable though, but not without a good immigration attorney from here and possibly, another one from ROK

No, you cannot. It’s 90 days before the expiration date on your green card

Sending you a DM

The way it is worded on @JeanneAdilposts makes it seem like an overstay is a crime

First of all, it's not the Embassy that cares or doesn't care. It's the Department of Homeland Security (aka DHS). The immigration status you had in another country has no bearing on the decision they make about your case. However, not being able to produce a valid police certificate does.

Interesting. I’m in the same situation and have to travel with a pending I-751. Just out of curiosity, have you ever had to show your marriage certificate?

Oh boy, if you think that there is too much paper involved at this stage, wait until you have to file for adjustment of status or removal of conditions in a couple of years! But again, they can only access your email with a search warrant. And to be honest with you, if you thought they’d access your email to look for proof of relationship, no, that’s not how this works. YOU have to prove them your relationship. They don’t have to look for the evidence.

I doubt it's even legal they can access your email without a search warrant. But even so, do you really think that they'd try and figure out your relationship from there? No, it's your job to provide them with the evidence....

how would they do that if they don't have access to your email?

Yep

Did you call USCIS?

But is the RFE only about the I-693? My understanding is you should not need one because you are a K1 and already did the medical. I will let others chime in.
