So I just realized after looking through all my documents that in the Ds-260 doc i submitted, I incorrectly answered yes to the question "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S.with you?" as well as the same thing for the question about the child. Me and my child are U.S citizens so we are not immigrating but only traveling but for some reason when doing it the first time I didn't realize that didn't mean traveling at the same time. Is NVC going to make me fix this with an RFE or will it just be ignored? Thanks.

We have all the originals but for the islamic marriage we ended up not getting the marriage legally registered using the Imam at that time, we also lost all the pictures from that little ceremony (lost my wife's external hard drive). But we do have plenty of pictures of us together with both of our families and pictures of the marriage at the courthouse a few months later. Hope that is good enough!

Already got that and turned in with everything else. Thanks for looking out though!

My only income has been from 1098-T from school grant/loans so thats what I included, I am unemployed other than being a student (dad sends money every month as long as I am in school lol). My dad does head of household and is self-employed so no W2's or 1099's I don't think it will be a problem cuz it says that only matters if its married filing jointly. I guess I should have included a statement with his saying that but its too late now and I guess I'll just hope for the best.

Yes, plenty! 2 credit cards I still have and use and pay off. A joint bank account with me and my wife on it that is used regularly from buying things on amazon/netflix subscription, etc... Mail that still comes to my family home in my name. Active voter registration. School records (I have been doing school online this whole time and got my bachelors and masters while abroad). Maintained my drivers license. Made a lease agreement with my dad for the house we are staying in. Made an employment contract with my dad to work at his company until I find something in the field I got a degree in (Information Technology). Have joint tax transcripts for the past 3 years with my wife. Have only extensions of stay for Guyana, never tried to get any type of immigrant visa here, have no assets here, etc... One thing I just realized, my wife during the first adjustment of status fiasco was given a social security card. I have been just using that number when doing tax returns and doing married filing jointly since I believed that would look good for immigration and the IRS website says that is ok. Is the CO gonna wonder why she has a U.S social security number while being a non-resident alien? I guess I could explain it pretty easily and I don't think they would frown upon me using her social for the tax returns as I'm pretty sure you are supposed to do that. It's just most people don't get in this situation so they simply don't have a social security number for their non-resident alien spouse.

My dad is joint sponsoring so no problem there, yes the kids already have US passports. I have just submitted my NVC docs a week ago so prob gonna be waiting another 2 months for them to review them but everything should be fine there. I will go ahead and fill out the timeline but I guess I will not include everything before applying for the new I-130 since itl make the whole timeline very complicated and weird.

Ok so some context, This will be a long post. I am a U.S citizen previously living in North Carolina, I met my now wife on an online dating app and after a few months of talking went to Canada to see her for the first time (She is Guyanese but living in Canada with her family). We continued talking and things got more serious and I wanted to see her again, she was visiting her home country Guyana so I decided to go there and meet her extended family. Was there for a week and then went back to the US and she actually stopped in the U.S with her family on their way back to Canada to meet other relatives that they have in Florida as well as to come see my family in NC. She and her family had a b2 tourist visa for the US. When they came to NC, I decided that I didn't want be apart from her anymore and asked for her hand (marriage). She and her family accepted and we had a small Muslim ceremony basically married islamicly and decided to have a courthouse legal American marriage a few months later as we were planning to do a real wedding ceremony down the road when I could afford it. (Never happened) Time goes by and I know that I have to file for her to adjust status but she wants to visit her family 1 last time as they can't come back to the U.S for a while since they were waiting for their PR. So before we apply for adjusting status she goes back to Canada for a couple weeks and then comes back. (Problem 1). After shes back in the states after a few months I file for the I-485, I-130, etc... Everything is fine for a while and then she gets bad news that her grandma is in critical shape and she wants to go see her in Guyana. (Problem 2). I didn't know how bad her leaving was at the time but she ends up going to see her grandma in the middle of the application and I find out that this means she abandoned the I-485 and that we would have to start over from outside the U.S. At this point, she has no visa to Canada and no visa to the U.S because they won't let her back in since she tried to adjust status. So she is essentially stuck in Guyana with only extended family there, I decide I am gonna move to Guyana and stay with her until we can get back into the U.S. Our case ends up being in limbo for 3 years, it was scheduled for an interview in the U.S, which ofc she cant attend, so we miss it, no denial, gets rescheduled, miss, no denial, we keep trying to get the thing denied so we can reapply for I-130 from outside the US. Finally get a denial notice after 1 year of this, 1 week later, get a letter saying our case has been reopened, get thrown in limbo for another year with the case somehow going to the national records center and just not being closed. Finally get it withdrawn successfully, apply for the I-130, get it approved, and now waiting for the interview. My concerns are this. 1.Even though our current petition is based on us being outside the U.S so no tourist visa's are involved. She did re-enter the country before knowing that she was gonna adjust status, this is proven by us being legally married at that point. Is this gonna be a problem at the interview? Our current petition has nothing to do with that instance so I don't know if it would still be considered visa fraud but you tell me what you think. 2. I now looking back, see that the immigration officer might believe that her first entry was also visa fraud as I asked for her hand in marriage days after her visit to the U.S even though she had no idea I was going to ask for her hand at that point. Do you guys think that will be a problem as well? 3. I have been living in Guyana with her for almost 3.5 years trying to get this thing figured out, we had 2 kids while being here and I have deep ties to the U.S so im hoping I can prove intent to re-establish domicile at the interview but I'm still worried they will give me trouble for being in Guyana all this time. Would do you guys think? 4. Also, I have been getting extension of stays while in Guyana to keep myself legal here, the problem is, Guyana is such a slow country that after applying for the extension of stay it can take a year for it to be approved, so there are 1 year stints where im technically illegal here. The government of Guyana itself doesn't care about that, I get approved eventually and I go back to legal status. At the time of interview I will be approved and have legal status but i'm wondering if the immigration officer will care about those periods of not having an active extension of stay granted. Will they not care as long as at the time of the interview I am of legal status in Guyana? I'm sure you guys won't know since this is so specific to this very different country but I thought I would ask anyway. Sorry for the super long post, this has been weighing on me and I'd like to know if I am just being paranoid. Thanks for any help.
