for my husband we listed unemployed first since that was the most recent

having never been to the US isn't a red flag. like MMRF suggested, you may not need an entire lawyer, but you could get a consultation to answer any questions you have. but over all you 100% can do the process yourself. I know it seems intimidating, but if you do all the research (VJ is great for this) it makes it less intimidating.

the embassy should reach out with instructions regarding next steps. this is typically called packet 3. it details how/when to schedule the medical exam and the interview. as well as lists what documents need to be brought to the interview. if you dont hear from the embassy within 30 days, you can try emailing them here consularlapaz@state.gov or calling them (591)2-216 8246 https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Bolivia&cty=La Paz

the embassy should reach out with instructions for next steps. this is typically called packet 3. see the information here https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Poland&cty=Warsaw you can also go here to contact them and ask about next steps directly https://www.ustraveldocs.com/pl/en/contact-us

K1 visas don't submit any documents to the NVC. so there is no DQ for K1 visas. whats more than likely happening is their embassy isn't ready to take their case yet. some embassies request that cases be sent to them, instead of the NVC sending them automatically

I am starting to gather the things we need for my husbands GC interview next week (!!) we have to do the errata sheet for the one correction we need to make. would others say this is all it needs to be? I can't really find anything other than blank templates (not specific to USCIS)

the NVC is taking anywhere from 30-90 days to process cases they receive. if it just got sent a few days ago, you still have a bit more time to wait

it is also more clearly stated in the I-693 instructions "What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already completed an immigration medical examination abroad? If you were admitted as a: A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then: (1) You are not required to complete another immigration medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year of an immigration medical examination completed outside the United States; and (a) The panel physician did not find a Class A medical condition during your imigration medical examination; or Form I-693 Instructions 01/20/25 Page 8 of 12 (b) The panel physician did find a Class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility, and you have complied with the terms and conditions of the waiver. (2) Even if a new immigration medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original medical examination report completed abroad, you will need to have the Part 10. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you must submit Parts 1. - 5., 7., and 10. of Form I-693." https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf so as long as your DS-3025 is complete, no need to go spending an extra $400 lol

was your DS-3025 complete and marked as complete? if so you don't have to do the partial I-693 at all. you can just include a copy of the DS-3025 and a cover letter explaining that you completed a medical exam in your country and voluntarily received all of the required vaccinations. https://www.uscis.gov/i-693 " The following aliens applying for adjustment of status must submit a partial Form I-693 (Parts 1.-5., Part 7, and Part 10, Vaccination Record) when they file their adjustment application if their vaccination record was not properly completed and included as part of the immigration medical examination conducted by a panel physician outside the United States: Aliens admitted to the United States as a spouse, or child of a spouse, of a U.S. citizen or fiancé(e) or child of a fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen (K-1/K-2/K-3/K-4 Nonimmigrant) who already completed an immigration medical examination conducted by a panel physician outside the United States no more than 1 year before they file to adjust their status;"

we got our NOA1 about 4 weeks after we submitted. just be careful when driving and such. but theres no real concern if you don't have the NOA by then. when you do receive the NOA1, just keep a copy of it with you whenever you go out. correct, you would want to have the receipt notice.

this is just standard. a supervisor is going to go over it and give final decision.

not sure why someone would tell you that. the only thing a K1 visa holder needs to establish they are married is the marriage license. the work auth is longer valid because there is no longer an I-485 in process. he will need to apply for that again.

it probably got denied cause they were confused by the I-130. as a K1 visa holder who got married within the 90 days, the I-130 is not required. why did you file the I-130?

if you get married before, you might run into the issue of someone at the SSO saying you can't get the SSN because the visa has been "used" since you got married. but you technically have until 2 weeks before his I-94 expires. so you should be able to apply for one within 75 days of his arrival regardless.

you should get his I-94 directly from the CBP site https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/home the tab "get most recent I94" you just put his information and his passport number. I would suggest you apply for his daughter as well. otherwise she will have to wait for the I-485 to be approved. which can make things like taxes harder (if their greencard process takes that long)
