Yep, definitely point of entry.
If the interview is before the 2 year anniversary and the PoE after, make sure you point out to the CBP officer that the 2nd anniversary has passed so they don't overlook it.

They will send you a tax transcript which will work just fine.

Since you asked, the passport card is the most important $25 you ever spend in your lifetime.
Why?
As a natural born USC, you can prove your status as a USC by ordering a birth certificate for about $11 as often as you like. You'll have it shortly after.
As a naturalized USC, your Certificate of Naturalization is the equivalent to the birth certificate. If you lose or misplace it, it will not only cost $345 but take anywhere from 12 to 21 months (1 to 2 years!) to replace it.
Thus, it belongs in the bank safe as a last resort disaster backup in case a Tsunami, Earthquake, or wildfire consumed your house and everything in it. If you have nothing left but the clothes on your body, good luck getting a new passport, driver's license or ATM or credit card.
Thus, you will use your passport as a proof of US citizenship. The book is at the safest place at home, unless you travel internationally which is when you have it with you. If you are in a massage parlor in Bangkok and lose your passport, it's nice to have some form of ID with you, which is where the passport card comes into play.
Once you have that, you keep it at a different place than your passport book. I have mine in a document safe at work in my office. Thus, I have 3 independent proofs of citizenship, of which I only use the card, i.e, when going to the SSA, or the DMV, or when I travel to Canada or Mexico or perhaps even Georgia.
What you want to avoid under all and any circumstances is that you have to mail you Certificate of Naturalization again, ever again. If you only have a passport book and lose or damage it, that can happen. If you also have a passport card, it won't.

Checking 'no' is not okay if you wish to gain US citizenship. You need to check yes. If you don't you will not be granted US citizenship.
The important thing to remember is that the US does not officially recognize dual citizenship so you are not applying for dual citizenship. You are applying for US citizenship only. Once granted, the US will recognize you as a US citizen only.
The other important piece of information, however, is that Canada does not recognize the US Oath of citizenship as renouncing Canadian citizenship. Canada does officially recognize dual - or more - citizenship, so once you accept American citizenship, to Canada you are both a Canadian and an American citizen. The only way to renounce your Canadian citizenship in a way that Canada recognizes is to file an official Canadian immigration document renouncing your Canadian citizenship with CIC and having them approve it. Without taking that step, no oath in any other country no matter what the words, will stop you from being a Canadian. Only Canada is able to grant you Canadian citizenship and only Canada is able to remove it. The US can't, however, they do ask that anyone applying for US citizenship take the oath renouncing former allegiances in the view that you cannot serve 2 masters.
The choice is, ultimately, your own. This is something many Canadians have had to deal with, including me. I disliked some of the words of the US Oath of Allegiance - not because I was any less committed to fulfilling my obligations as a US citizen - but because I do not see a conflict in having citizenship in both countries. I am choosing to add the US citizenship to who I am, not taking away my Canadian citizenship from who I am. This, in its very essence, defines the major difference between the two countries: for the US everything is black and white - either/or - for us or agin' us, win-lose; in Canada we understand that there are varying degrees of gray, that you give a little and take a little, and that things don't have to be win-lose - they can be win-win instead.
If you want US citizenship you need to answer yes to that question. Only you can decide if you are able to honour two masters - the US and Canada.

You're lawyer seems to be giving advice that is going to slow the process down. Try reading and following some of the guides in the VJ Wiki to speed things up a bit. http://www.visajourn...p/EZGuideSpouse You should have had the DS-230 pre-filled out and ready to go prior to completing the USCIS/NOA2 process. Get the fees paid and the visa app (DS-230) sent in ASAP. Hopefully the lawyer advised you of the documents that need to be submitted with the DS-230 and the documents the beneficiary should have on hand for the interview.

I don't see any conflicting information there. The Consulate in Ankara is not USCIS. You were properly informed by NVC. It doesn't matter who fills out the DS230 but it's the foreigner's visa application so it contains their information and is signed by the foreigner.

call NVC, get a HUMAN, then get a supervisor,
then
ask them if the human with the casefile actually READ your attachment letter,
and ask the supervisor to ask the other human to find it again, read it again.
Seriously.

if I had TO GUESS -
the petition was sent back, something missing in the petition.
INSTEAD - call USCIS, get a CSR, ask for 'case status'.
The wording is really strange, alas...

Just to illustrate how things change... during the I-129F process, I checked Case Status Online a few times daily. Now, even though I'm registered for the same in regard to ROC, I haven't checked the status even once (and we got the NOA1 for that in January... or was it February?). Do things in your life that you enjoy, and you'll be surprised how the days pass.

Yes you have to enter before her or with her, you filed for CR1 for her.
You might be able to turn around and return back or you guys can wait until you are done with your contract and move togeather.

Shipping company is right, they will need a copy of her passport and copy of her visa, that is furnished to the customs officials and they declare her goods as household item related with her move.
As this would be duty exempt, you are already here and shipping company will not accept that.
Here is what I had done, work with the shipping company you guys choose and they can deliver empty boxes, she can start boxing things up and get prepared.
Dont seal the boxes as some shipping companies don't like it, they will go over the items in the box and then they will put their tape on it sealing the box. (Security reasons - also they check for some chemicals and stuff not allowed onboard a freight ship)
I had my stuff ready dumped in the boxes and on the day of shipment shipping company did the final packing.

When she receives her CR1, like normal visa like B1/2 they will attach a CR1 visa in her passport and they will also give her an envelope for immigration officer in US.
Dont let anyone open that envelope, it will say on it do not open, but you make sure no-one opens it other then immigration officer, I have heard of stories where airline and other ppl try to open it.
Shipping company will need copy of her CR1 visa and that should be good.

Others have done it, BUT---it all comes down to 1 thing----the PORT of ENTRY Officer!!!

The site and the AVRS aren't always synchronized. One may say apples, another may say orange. In this situations, the best thing to do is two speak to alive operator on two different occasions. If they both say apples, then it is indeed apples. And if they say if it's oranges, then it's oranges. And if one says apple and another says oranges, then you're just plain out of luck. You gotta call again.
So basically, don't worry. Your case is closed. Now you need to keep checking DHL site to see if you can figure-out when your package leaves the NVC and arrives at your respective embassy. Read the guides here to learn about how to track on DHL site. Good luck. InshaAllah.

Do whatever research you like.
No one on this community is going to advise you it's OK to intentionally cross a US border with plans to marry and put down permanent roots in the US. Such behavior is in violation of the INA as it is entering the US with clear intent to evade immigration policy.
When you take certain actions, they are your own responsibility. Do not expect people here to tell you it is ok to intentionally circumvent the law.

Changing names at marriage is purely optional. No impact on the visa process unless you're coming from a culture where not doing so would be unacceptable.

you can file the AR11 online. you can notify USCIS of the US Citizen's mew address online via the same link/portal but he form I865 should still be sent in.

I inserted photos in Word document, 2 photos per page, total 10 pages. Then I wrote the place/occasion/people/date as appropriate below each photo, in the Word document. Then I printed the Word document in a color printer. It came out well. I did this for AOS and there was no problem.

We used software to arrange the pics and to add captions, then printed the sheets out on plain paper using a regular home printer.

Correct. They will get your photo and fingerprints at the biometrics appt.

Everybody that has moved had their reminder sent to the old address. Don't worry about it. You've done what you needed to do for USCIS. Just file your new forms using your current address and your NOA and extension letter will come to your current address.

Where do you base this on? It's the first time I hear this... so far I see plenty of people getting approved, who didn't had to go to an interview during AOS and I also people going to interviews while they had one during AOS. I don't think you can automatically state 'more than likely' as it would imply that people would be very likely get one or not...

I have heard Montreal can be very tough on the domicile issue, No US Domicile, no I-864, no I-864, no visa.

Moving to DCF forum...

Yes you forfeit the card, it's for permanent residency in the USA, you can file an I-407 to the consulate and turn it in.
You can always apply for another one down the road, yes you start over by filing an I-130.
Green-card is for residing, living and working in the USA, it is not a permanent border crossing card.

There is no requirement for your wife to change her name. It is a personal choice and has no bearing on the submission of your I-130.
IF she chooses to do so, however, you can submit the petition in her married name then proceed to change her identification while waiting for your NOA2 as posted above.
