    PSA: If entering the USA 2 years after marriage, kindly remind the immigration officer of this
    When we last entered the US, our immigration officer said "Oh, hmm I wonder if I could go ahead and change you an IR-1."  The agent right next to him said "Yes, you can do that" and he acted surprised. His comments made it pretty clear he was going to erroneously issue us a CR-1 and he seemed to not even know he could change the visa status until his coworker advised him (THANK GOODNESS she overheard!).  I don't know how onerous the process is to correct such an oversight but I'm glad we didn't have to find out!
     
    Just wanted to pass this along in the hopes it saves someone from any problems with the wrong stamp being placed in the passport, as I've read about here before....  I would kindly remind the officer "We married >2 years ago.  We can enter with an IR-1 visa now right?"

    Traveled to Canada for 20 days after entering the U.S. on a K-1 visa (June 1–22). Seeking reentry under Automatic Visa Revalidation (AVR).
    I entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa on June 1st and left for Canada on June 2nd, remaining here for 20 days. I am now attempting to return to the U.S. through Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) using Automatic Visa Revalidation (AVR). My K-1 visa is expired, but my I-94 is still valid. Am I ok?

    Hello, so my wife came in k-1 visa to USA and we got married and all. We filled for work permit and green card together but while doing that my lawyer filed for I-130 no idea why. Will that application make my process for work permit and green card slow? If so how do I withdrawal that application? My lawyer isn’t helpful at all. I need some help…

    Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?
    My gf and I live in Thailand but spend 2-4months in the US per year. Once/if we have children age 5+, the time split would become vice versa. We have no plans to live full-time in the United States in the next 5 years, but I visit my family and friends 2-3x per year for 2-3 weeks at a time. I would love it if she can join me for those trips and experience that part of my life. What options do we have -- US visa wise, maybe a tourist or fiance visa later? Other?

    Abandoned AOS and now regret it
    Please be nice, I know I made a mistake... But got my K1 approved and arrived in the US June 25, 2024 and applied for AOS February 25, 2025 -- then left the US (abandoned my AOS). Will I be banned for re-entry to the US -- even under a spouse visa?

    My fathers middle name on my Birth certificate is misspelled

    Hello everyone! I just want to share my experience and maybe get some advice or help others who might face the same issue.

    I m currently applying for an IR1 visa, and I ve already completed my biometrics and medical. My interview was originally scheduled for November 3, but during the pre-screening, the consular staff noticed a discrepancy in my documents.

    Apparently, my father s middle name on my birth certificate is misspelled it has an extra g (written as Calungsag). I honestly didn t notice it before. All my other documents (marriage certificate, report of marriage, and advisory on marriage) showed the correct spelling, Calunsag.

    Because of this, the consular officer gave me a yellow form with the note:

    Father s middle name sa per BC.

    She told me that my AOM should match what s written on my birth certificate, even if it s a typo. So my interview was rescheduled while I fixed the issue.

    But I still don't know what to do. Should I file for a petition for correction?

    Hello.

    Recieved packet 4 today and hopped into usvisa-info site made and account got to the payment page and it's got the amount but no link anywhere to actually make the payment. That page also says there's no appointment dates right now and to check back. Do I have to have a date to pay? Or do I have to pay before I get a date? I'm so lost. I just want to give them money and I don't know how!
