DV 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!-

6 RepliesWe received an RFE response letter. It stated that they have received an English translated copy of an original birth certificate. Now they need the original birth certificate. I sent the original birth certificate through the online portal.
The RFE also said that if you send original you need to send translated aswell. But it was stated that they already received the translated certificate.
I only sent the original birth certificate. Are we screwed in the that response? If so, is there any way to correct this?
Signature on Naturalization Certificate (Name Change) 9:17 am today

1 RepliesHi folks. So I had my oath ceremony last week, and I still haven t signed my certificate. I m a bit confused because the little note that cane with the packet says:
must sign your certificate, in cursive, on the line indicated using your full and complete name, exactly as it appears on your photo and certificate
and on the certificate itself says:
Complete and true signature of holder
However, I have undergone a name change which changed my First and Middle names. My signature on my photo not only reflects my old name, but it s just a scribble of my initials and not at all a complete name. And one last thing, I intend to keep the scribbly style of my previous signature, changing only to my new initials, for all future documents.
Please help! thank you!

The chest Xray did not go well for our CR-1. The doctor informed us that we can still go to our Visa interview at Manila Embassy while waiting for the sputum test, is this true? We are still not sure that we have an appointment, we scheduled it on ustraveldocs, but still haven't received a confirmation and have tried their help phone line & email - to no avail.· 0 replies

Good news:· 1 reply
After once week, we went by ARAMEX on a hunch. Lo and Behold, it is THERE.
What happened:
Interview on 29th of Nov.
Monday December 2nd, it said "ISSUED"
So we called Aramex. They said, "NOT HERE"
We sent email daily to
passportstatus@ustraveldocs.com for updates. Immediately response was, "Your passport is still with post".
Our intuition became so strong. By December 5th, I told him to GO there anyway and check. Husband travels from Ourazazate to Casablanca early that morning on the 6th of December.
As he was outside of Aramex, he called the number. They all said same thing, "Not here yet".... But when he walked in the door and showed his ID, they promptly found his passport with ir-1 visa and gave it to him without any apologies or hassles. Their reply was, "We get so many everyday, it's hard to track all of them".
Bottom line, he is COMING !
