Hi everybody, Me (EU citizen) and my wife (US citizen) got married in the US in the beginning of November, when I was visiting her on the ESTA visa. Since then, I’ve returned back to Europe, and we are thinking about filing the application for the CR-1 visa.
 
I remember reading somewhere that it’s not recommended to apply straight away after the marriage and recommending waiting for at least 60 days after it, before sending the application. If I recall correctly, they were saying that USCIS adopted such policy from some other organization or procedure to filter out some suspiciously rushed marriages that were done just for the purpose of getting the visa, and took more time in processing them.
 
I was wondering if anyone heard anything about such thing, or its totally fine to send the paperwork now?
 
Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm preparing the I-129f and have some questions regarding some of the information I'm required to put in there.
 
Let me first explain my situation. I studied and work in the US for 5 years on a student visa and then post-graduation OPT. At that time I only left US once and to go to Canada for a couple of days. In the last two years I met my now fiancee. We were thinking about getting married while I was in US, but decided to postpone it due to pandemic and I traveled back to Europe as my OPT expired to visit my family which I haven't seen for a long time. What I didn't know is that getting back together is going to be such a hustle.
 
Anyway now I'm filing my I-129f and I want to know if I can use my old USCIS number that I had for my expired OPT for the A- number at Part 2, 2. or I should leave it in blank since it's my old number?
 
Also what kind of proof of relationship should I submit? The guide recommends airplane tickets and receipts, but as I said. I lived in the same city as my fiancee for 2 years, we were going out together and doing family and friends dinners, and a lot of road trips, but nobody collects receipts from some restaurants and such. We have a ton of pictures together and I have my apartment lease document and work document proving that we were in the same city together all that time. Will it be enough?
I can also submit my i-94 history, indicating that I been in the US almost all the time except for a couple of days.
 
Thanks and I appreciate any help and critique.
