Community SpotlightDV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?
Petrisaint Mpaka posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,
I applied for the DV lottery 2025 and hope to be selected this year. My fiancé and I discovered that there is a fiancé visa for the USA. Do you think if we apply for the K1 visa but are selected for the DV lottery that we can stop the fiancé visa process? What are the timelines and options here :)?-

Confused about steps after marriage
SP1988 posted a topic in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas,
My fiancee arrived last month on K1 fiance visa and we got married yesterday. It seems from what I have seen online that I made a mistake by not getting SSN prior to marriage? I am going to the SSN office on Monday to gather more information... also worried about employment authorization and travel authorization(s). Thanks for any insights!-

Tourist visa cancelled by CBP agent. Can we still get a CR1 or K1 Visa?
yotajeeper posted a topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration,
Upon my gf's most recent arrival, her tourist visa was cancelled at the airport due to her frequent visits last year and suspicion of working here. She was denied entry and sent back same day. Is a CR1 or K1 visa process an option still? I would appreciate any advice or tips you can provide!-

2 RepliesMy wife has an interview date April 5 for IR1 visa in Rio de Janeiro. Does anyone know if they will ask for a more current proof of income? The income I submitted for the past 3 years was all over 60,000 and I know that April 15 you will need to submit the current tax returns. Will they already ask me for this even though it is a bit earlier? Thanks

3 RepliesHello, I don't if this is the right forum or place to ask as I'm a little new here, but I'm a little desperate and worried.For some context, my mom is a permanent resident in the US. She also has a South Korean passport. She had her green card, but it was stolen from her about 4 years ago during the pandemic. We have not filed the I-90 yet (I know this is stupid, but there is no one beating themselves up over this more than me). We are unable to answer about 50% of the questions on the form as she doesn't remember much since when she filed it and also when she renewed/refiled for it before, other people were there to help her, but she is no longer in contact with them. I don't remember anything as I would have been either not born yet or around 8. Also she has never had a copy made of her green card.The problem is that she had to urgently take a flight to Canada after hearing about the sudden passing of her sister-in-law. To get there, she applied for an electronic Visa (?) to Canada with her Korean passport. However, she is now unsure what she needs to do in order to return to the US. I have looked though the forum and found https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/769286-lost-green-card-while-in-canada-i-90-form-questions-merged-threads/#comments and believe that she must either apply for the I-131A if she is coming back through the airport or she has the option of filling out the I-90 and crossing the border on land? I don't know what she should be filling out or if I should just call the Port of Entry that she is closest to and would cross as to what she should do?Long story short, my mom is missing her green card, we have very little information, and I don't know where would be best to contact or what to file in order to get her home. Please help me. Thank you.

1 RepliesMy spouse and I are in the process of applying for a green card through marriage. She's on an F-1 STEM OPT, which expires in July 2024, and I'm a U.S. citizen. Our current challenge is the affidavit of support, as my income alone does not satisfy the poverty guidelines. We plan to include her income in the affidavit she has a letter from her employer confirming her employment will continue after obtaining residency.
We're here seeking insights or experiences from those who've faced similar situations, as we haven't found many related discussions. Is it feasible to proceed in this manner?
- Joint sponsor: it has been hard for us to find a joint sponsor
- Assets: our past 12-month average is not sufficient but the current balance is more than 3x the poverty line for a household of 2.
