Spouse I-130 Journey is about to start.

Ok... So, I'm an American born citizen, I was working in the US when 09 recession blew up and returned to Mexico with my parents. There, I met my life partner in 2010 and we got married in 2011. FF>> we have 2 kids, one of them already has a CRBA and we are waiting for the Mexican Embassy in Mexico City to open some appointments in order to get the other CRBA.

the thing is, I got this job offer in the US that I can't refuse.

I'm planning to file an I-130 for my Mexican wife as soon as I get to the US and start working.

Key points: -10 year marriage with valid mexican certificate. - 2 kids, 1 has CRBA the other will get it hopefully next month. - I'm starting at my new job in the US very soon. - My wife's B1 visa expired 2 years ago.

*Should I file for her I-130 in the US or is it better to take the consular pathway and file now??

*While waiting for I-130 approval, is it possible for her to apply for a B-1(tourist) visa in order to visit me?? (she has a very stable job in Mexico, she pay for all the bills, currently paying a mortgage and she takes care of her parents payments, at least some bills, that should prove that she will return to Mexico after a short visit).

While some people tell me that we have a relatively easy case for her I-130 approval, what stresses us is the fact of being separated, specially for our kids, hence my question regarding the B-1 visa.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
