Thank you for that info. Exactly what I was looking for. Much appteciated.

Hello all, My wife and I are looking to submit our i130 application later today through the online USCIS system. The official state department website shows a little guide on each step and it says fees must be paid by the beginning of the NVC phase. Is this for the $675 fee or are there other fees to be paid at this time? Reason for asking is because we are separating (physically) this coming week. I am headed back to the US to start career and we will be apart for the entire process (other than trips to visit). We have been together the last year and a half, living together for a year. Money is tight as I am not working until I go back. A little teaching English online but its not bringing in much. If I can pay that $675 when it reaches NVC phase and not have to use it right now it would be a HUGE boon to us. Thanks for any information in advance.

Hello, Me - US citizen Her - Persian, Iranian citizen My wife applied for the DV lottery a while back before we got married. If somehow she were lucky enough to be selected, would the fact she is now married to a US citizen get her denied? We plan on applying for the CR1/IR1, but a DV lottery allowing her to go to the US sooner would be amazing, but now that I think about it, I feel like her being married to me might get in the way. Thanks in advance.
