Abandoned AOS and now regret it
Mariammaria posted a topic in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports,
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?-

I'm currently living and working in the United States. My fiancé currently lives in Japan. We have been dating for about 6 months, and we have met in person several times, but we are not yet married.
My fiancé will be visiting me in the United States on a tourist visa some time in March or April and staying for about 3 months. I want to file for a fiance/spouse visa asap -- what's next?-

N400: Admitted to Weed during Green Card (was it a crime I was not arrested for?)
Left Over posted a topic in US Citizenship General Discussion,
To start, marijuana is illegal in my country of origin. When I was applying for my green card I admitted to trying marijuana when I was in my 20's (I'm 49 now). I got my green card and have lived in the US for 5 years. I'm in the process of applying for citizenship. What answer should I give to the question: "Have you EVER committed, agreed to commit, asked someone else to commit, helped commit, or tried to commit a crime or offense for which you were NOT arrested? Yes or No" given that I admitted to past marijuana use during the GC process?-

Fiancée threatened with deportation by customs agent after arriving at airport for false accusations. How concerned should we be?
deletedUser21321 posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Firstly, I want to get some things clear because I know everyone will say this otherwise:
We are seeing an immigration attorney for consultation soon. We've already printed out several documents to prove that my fiancée is not coming here with the intent to live here for the future until they get the K-1 Visa... Now, Heres the actual story...-

Fiance or Marriage Visa in 2025 ? Pros and cons?
KandB posted a topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration,
I'm 23F 🇨🇿, my partner is 29M 🇺🇲
We want to get our visa going sometime this year and want to be together as soon as possible but we are still unsure which visa would serve us better. I'd like to get married in my home country but on the other side i wouldn't mind getting married paperwise in the US and waiting for my work permit and etc if it would allow us to be together faster and then save up for and have our dream wedding in my home country.
What do you think ? All of this is so overwhelming and confusing and we just want to do the right thing.
I asked the same question on reddit, so many people recommended me to go with fiance visa, two suggested marriage visa. I need more input and advice from experienced people. Thank you
Ps: is it possible to have dual citizenship so i don't lose one from my home country? How does that work ?-

My fianc petition was approved last month (No RFE). I got a help from one immigration attorney who charged me $2500. Today I called the office to know how they can help me with the next steps of the process. I was told to pay $1500; so they can help me with everything with NVC and Embassy stages. After this stage (NVC and Embassy), they will charge me $3800 for AOS when my fianc gets here in USA if she gets the VISA. I was told that filling DS160 to schedule interview is really sensitive and needs to be done with precautions. My question is that: Do I really need help from immigration's attorney for the next step? This is a lot of money without the govt fees. Any advise is welcomed. Thank you.

5 RepliesAsking for a friend
his family Wife and Son came here under the Biden CHNV program, he's doing adjustment of status for his wife, what about his son? what paperwork can he do to adjust his status.
I was doing some research and I found out if the child was born after he got his citizen then it would be a simple matter, since the child was born before he got his citizenship, he has to file for imigration papers for his son,
one his son becomes a permanent resident, then the can file citizenship paper for his son.
What form do they have to file to adjust the son, since both Mom and son are here, is there a way to add his son to his wife adjustment of status?

2 RepliesHi all,
I'm looking over Part 1, Question 18 and it says "Date you first resided at this address" - if the applicant (my husband) entered the US on Jan 5 with me and we were on vacation for 2 weeks and then started living at my family's house at the end of the month, is our current physical address date Jan 18 (when we came back from vacation)? I want to say it's Jan 18, but then what about the gap of two weeks from when he left his old address to us deciding to reside at my family's home?

If you happen to go past to the validity what should you do?
We're on a K-1 (fiance visa) application and still waiting up to this day our NVC number.
Thank you ♥
