    Are you sure it was CFO and not OFC? OFC is the office where the biometrics are done, also known as VAC. CFO scheduling is a completely different website.

    In Manila, we scheduled hers on the same trip as the biometrics appointment, which was about 2 weeks before the interview. (But the medical results sealed envelope were given to her the second day of the medical exam) I don't know whether Canada separates the biometric collection or does it on-site the day of the interview.

    I'm not sure whether the code for Paris in the CEAC is PAS or PRS, but you've said both at different times.

    And you're looking at W-2 and 1040 both for 2025 (i.e. the one you received in January 2026 and the one you filed between then and now?) Does the number from the W-2 appear on line 1a of the Form 1040 and feed into line 1z? Maybe line 8 is large and negative if the self-employment had a new loss. If a negative Line 8 doesn't explain the difference between W2 compensation and Line 9 on the 1040, you might need to double-check that the 1040 math is done right.

    @pushbrk said you should use Total Income (line 9) not AGI (line 11). And definitely not Line 15 which is taxable income. On the W-2 are you primarily looking at Box 1 (compensation) or Box 3 (Social security wages)?

    Given the facts you presented, there's an unclear point which might be important: Do you know whether the relative told the funeral home your wife was married and the institution messed it up? Or if the relative told them that the deceased was never married and they dutifully recorded it as they were told? If the wife's family doesn't know about the marriage that might lead reviewers to question whether it was a real marriage. Of course there are a variety of reasons for estrangement but that question might remain even after USCIS is made aware of the amendment. Your evidence is also missing beneficiary designations on life insurance and retirement assets (possibly others), which by now you'd know whether such designations had been made because they'd have paid out to you.

    Why is there a discrepancy between the two? Normally the tax return will show more total income than the W2, because it includes the W2 plus other sources such as 1099-INT or 1099-B. Are they from different years? Are you looking at taxable income (after deductions) instead of total income?

    If you mean the US Embassy interview, that stage is about the beneficiary. Any documents about the petitioner would have been asked for during petition processing. However, the CFO may ask for it, so you might as well get it ahead of time.

    As a Canadian citizen the daughter is a legal resident in Canada, but the mother still isn't. With a Canadian citizen father, it's very likely that the daughter was a Canadian citizen from birth, and only recognition of that fact was delayed. If so, then this is not a case of updating status that changed, but correction of a misstatement of a material fact -- or it would be, if the I-129F had even asked about citizenship of children. But as far as I can tell it does not. Be very careful with any questions about overstays of Canadian visa -- even though overstay is not disqualifying from an immediate family visa, there are sure to be questions that must be answered honestly because leaving anything out could cause revocation even years after approval.

    For transit-without-visa, it may be important that both flight segments are on a single ticket, not self-transfer.

    The document list on the actual GCP appointment letter does include criminal history search for spouse/partner... the exact wording is:

    You probably mean an ITIN? I don't think the government makes them available to just any foreigner who asks. Once she arrives she'll be eligible for an SSN. Having an ITIN wouldn't by itself affect K-1 eligibility, for example most people on student visas would have one. But it might cast doubt on the question about ever having been in the US before (assuming the true answer is "no")

    But K-1 is not actually an immigrant visa, so not covered by the pause. Which consular officers recognize that may vary...

    Additionally, since OP is writing a cover letter, they could mention in that cover letter which pieces of evidence will be in the "unsolicited evidence".

    Shows that current expected time between NOA1 and NOA2 is 8 months. Ours took 7 months 3 weeks, and the wait times have been getting slightly longer since. It's definitely too early to worry.
