Milka & Chris

Then you’re currently using the new edition because I just double the old version it has 10/15/19 at the bottom and 10/31/2021 at the top right corner 

I heard some people getting 'approval' within few hours/days from the time they see this status. I think you should hear very soon about your case. 

Affidavits.  They didn't like or disregarded the affidavits you originally presented.  Sending more affidavits is not what they want or asked for.
 
The other things you listed - boarding passes, passport stamps (if any), I-94 information, photos, you being listed as a spouse on military records, and similar are considered more substantial.

After lots research I also didn’t include affidavit at all. Especially if you already did it and got RFE to submit other supporting documents. My suggestion is just don’t add more avidavits from friends / family. It’s not weigh much 

I wouldn't share social media handles and expect anyone to look at them, but for example: did either of you change your relationship status to married on Facebook, etc? You could include printouts of reactions and positive messages from friends/family there. Same goes for wedding photos or other photos of you together. Just as before, showing things from over a longer period of time, and that were shared with a variety of friends/family, would be better.
 
I didn't do that for the I-130 petition because we already had better evidence, but we had previously done the I-129f for a K-1 visa and I did include a couple of things from FB at that time. As I recall I had to take screen captures rather than printing out the pages to a PDF to make it display properly.
 
Edit: just make sure that anything from social media you share is appropriate for the adjudicator who would be reviewing your case.

These carry little to no weight because you can get anyone to write anything.
If that is all you sent, then it was no surprise you got an RFE.
 
Remember there is no absolute proof you can send to prove it's bonefide, but it must be convincing.
Your evidence must tell a story that convinces them it is bonefide.
 
Here are things that are always winning evidence.
- Boarding passes
- Quality photos, that is not just up close photos of you two, but also photos with friends and family, recognizable places in the background. Put them in order and date them and add captions.
 
Some people will just have that and they get by, but if you have other good evidence, always the better.
Things like leases or financial accounts you're both on.
 
Like the affidavits there is also other evidence that aren't highly regarded, things that are easy to add anyones name on, or don't necessarily show that a relationship is real.
 

Not necessarily.  Quality is always better than quantity. ..always.  The best evidence a couple can submit is that of time actually spent together...in person.  That is just a fact.  Personal affidavits are of little value.  Anyone can product an affidavit for anything.  I suggest a FEW pictures, a few chat logs, passport stamps, boarding passes, and any documents which are normally generated during a marriage such as insurance, wills, trust, etc.  

The very best evidence you can provide is that of time actually spent together in person.  

That’s absolutely correct. English is not my first language. Obviously quality is better than quantity, but the reason she got RFE because she ONLY submit personal affidavits. Hence my last sentence about anything to proof bonafide marriage is the better 

In addition to the above...wedding photos.   Receipt of your wedding rings as well, if you have them.

more pictures for sure. dont just do 9 pictures. chat logs, presents, letters, screenshot video calls, etc etc. the idea is give "more" is better than give "less" to USCIS
there's no right or wrong. whatever u can send to USCIS to proof ur marriage is bonafide the better

No problem!
 
If you have visited your husband in the US, one more thing that you can easily include is a copy of your I-94 travel history. Go to the I-94 website and look for the View Travel History link. You'll need to enter your passport information and it should give you a list of all of your arrivals and departures to/from the US for the last 5 years. Note that occasionally this does not get updated correctly, but hopefully yours will be complete. I would then print out the results as a PDF, making sure to include the web address on the printout (as a rule, I would recommend this where applicable for any evidence; it can be done easily from Chrome).
 
If including the I-94 history you would need to also attach a copy of your passport bio page so that it's obvious that the information is connected to you. This is because your name will not appear in the results, only the passport number and country. And in that case you would still want to include the other evidence of visits that I mentioned in my previous post.

Im not sure. I filed an Ombudsman request too, since the priority date for my case prior in the original service center (since it was transferred to Vermont) was way past due, and Vermont shows it's still working on cases from 2018!
 
Im not sure if the Ombudsman request was what triggered the approv, since it was just recently requested and i know it could take much longer for the request to be addressed.
 
But keep the faith! Im positive your request will help things move.

Many of us here have gone through that long waiting. It took me 11.5 months for the I-130 petition to be approved.

It shows on the website that they're processing March 2020 cases. If i were you, i would request an outside normal processing time (ONPT) request here:

No I didnt apply for anything for her, she just had an valid ESTA. sorry for the late reply I wasnt in her for a while.

14Months and counting......USC/CR1/POTOMAC 😪

my wife filled for me may 4th 2018 and i got approved 14th 2019 then i got my visa 11th December 2019 every thing was 19 months in all is taken much time now just be patient they will approve your application

Sorry to hear that. I waited 11.5 months (350 days) when it was processed at Nebraska Center. Texas was famous for faster processing. Maybe the pandemic dragged it a bit.

Visa Journey statistics indicated the time at TSC is more like 8-10 months.  Here is a graph showing the VJ numbers for the processing times for all service centers:
 

Hopefully, been waiting patiently ever since. Hope things speed up for all of us.

No. No need to worry. Answer the questions about it honestly and you'll be fine.

It will not affect petition approval at all.  Assuming you were honest on your B1/B2 application and reported your overstay, there should be no issues on your visa application either.

From what I have been seeing in the forums, the IR1 category has been getting a very speedy authorization at the NVC stage. I personally had to wait about 3 months (which isn´t too bad). But I have been seeing folks now who got DQ in 1 week at the NVC stage.
The waiting for interview part, however...................... that is a much longer wait these days.

Thats why I was asking because I wasn't sure if that information are true or not. but thank you.
