I have a disease and the only cure is the USA...

You see, you can insult people on Visa Journey. You just have to follow these simple rules.
1. You need to include your enemy in a group and insult that group, not the person specifically. So instead of saying "You are hysterical" you can say something like "more proof that liberals are hysterical." Here is an example in practice: "no wonder the libs on here have such a hard time accepting reality." http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/618283-colin-kaepernick-praises-cuban-dictator-fidel-castro/?p=8397226 Brilliant, isn't it!?!
2. You need to invent a new name for your enemy. Current examples include Snowflake http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/602548-learning-to-live-with-islamic-terrorism-in-france-and-beyond/?p=8226156 or Loony left: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/618353-not-even-president-yet/?p=8397247 Past examples include a combination of liberal and retarded, but that has now been censored. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/447442-**-an-acceptable-insult/
3. Best yet, you need to give your new insult an acronym to obfuscate. Past examples include "Muddy Ditch Left" or MDLs, seen here. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/618353-not-even-president-yet/?p=8397511 An older one was Right Wing Nut Job, or RWNJ. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/431874-breaking-soldier-dead-in-the-uk-after-islamist-terrorist-attack/?p=6245386 There is also a new acronym insult, called "BHL" or "Butt hurt liberals," seen here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/618353-not-even-president-yet/?p=8397580 You are then free to use these insults personally, but since they are group nouns, no one is the wiser.

I liked the humblebrag about endowments best.

It sounds to me like your wife is young or poor or both, and extremely stressed about money. Either way she seems to have an unhealthy relationship with money, if she splits a bill for salad three ways with her mom and you. Most of these decisions are based on fear (like prenup when she has no estate to speak of, no insurance), and she is working in a job she is not happy in to make ends meet.
Regarding your comment that you are not important to her, it may be that she believes she is entitled to the visa process and is not worried about the outcome. Don't take that to mean that you are not important to her, necessarily. If she wants to go to the AOS and ROC interviews and yammer on about joint accounts, then let her.
She should not tell you that "this is what we do in America." You should open a dialogue on that and compromise, both of you.
Marriage is hard. Yours just started. Good luck.

I think you know who. I wasn't even there and I know who.

Okay, I won't help you then.
You said you live outside the US, which means you are not domiciled there, so you did say that.
Sometimes you have to help people to help you, but you don't want to, so okay.

NOA1 from I-485.

Can you answer why your own VJ ads have such content in them? And have for years? One thread was just posting the ads that populate from VJ.
So, I innocently come here to help people, to make your site work, and I get bombarded with ads for mail order brides and phone sex hotlines...
And you blame it on us? With no apology or mea culpa on your part?

Unless you want to spell out your entire story, I am not going to know what you have or don't have. I am giving suggestions of things that might work, and YOU are the one that needs to determine what you can do.
It's very frustrating when I try to help and then you just say you don't have that. To be blunt, if you can't prove it then you won't pass.
It is up to YOU to prove that your husband worked while you were married. You need to find something that shows this clearly to any outside person.
I think I'm out of this thread. Good luck.

Yes you will need the I-94 from online for AOS, and yes, K-1s are also in the online system.
I am surprised that SSA didn't need I-94, and in fact I think they did their own paperwork wrong, but hey, if it worked for you, then great

It is time to get your congressperson involved and contact the ombudsman for more help. I thin it will be faster to make them find it then to do a new petition. I am not sure you can do a new petition, in fact, because I-130 petitions don't expire.
If you could do a new petition, you could get expedited for USCIS error.
But, before all that, get some help to get them to find the petition.
Contact your congressperson, and contact the USCIS ombudsman.
Good luck.

Wow, lots of bad info here. People doing Adjustment of Status in the US do NOT need a police cert (unless their fingerprints are unreadable as mentioned above). No, you do not need a police cert. That is only if you have been arrested, you must bring the details of it.
If you are abroad, you do not need police certs from the US.

Completely false. Fire that attorney.

I saw a K-1 AOSer get a Stokes interview. It can happen.

You've already got the correct information from the vast majority of posters here. The first six posts are all full of good stuff.

Serial misinformation is damaging to the forum. Nothing personal, I wish for you to study up some more and contribute with correct information. Good luck to you.

You asked, so what have we got... 3/12?
Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, but a very new member, making mostly mistakes, it just makes the right information muddled and doesn't help anyone.

Choice A.
AND either Choice B or C.
the magic word is ~or~.

Yes, when your I-485 is pending you are in a period of authorized stay. Not really a legal status, as you have no proof and you cannot get a DL or something, but you are not accruing overstay days during that time.
The date that counts is the date on the NOA1. From that date you are in a NEW period of authorized stay.

Completely false. Fire that attorney.

If you are married you cannot get a K-1.

I would like to add that you can also apply for or renew a tourist visa when you have immigration pending, with the same considerations above.
