    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?

    US Citizen with Foreign Fiancé: When and How to Get Married?
    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?

    A relative of mine came to this country 13 years ago using a K-1 visa and after 90 days she got married to her now husband... but her American husband didn't start her adjustment of status. Would she face deportation?

    N400: Admitted to Weed during Green Card (was it a crime I was not arrested for?)
    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?
    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?
    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 ?

    Our K1 application was sent to the embassy yesterday. My fiance (the beneficiary) is from Iran, one of the banned countries. Will Trump's new travel ban affect the visa processing at this point?

    I864 Part 6 (Income)

    I am in the process of wrapping up the I-864 form but have been somewhat unsure of what I should put down for my income in Part 6 Item 16a-c. I have not been working for the last few years so my income is 0. However, my spouse and I filed our taxes jointly so on the tax return transcript I downloaded it obviously shows his amount under Total Income.

    Now my question is, 2024 I will put the amount down as it's shown on my tax return transcript (his total income). For 2023 and 2022 do I put down N/A or 0?

    First Post!

    Hopefully I won't be alone here

    Submitted online and received receipt June 3rd.

    Wanted to submit June 2nd but the updated drivers for my scanner are buggy and set me back.

    Waiting for biometrics notice which people seem to be getting anywhere from 1-3 days.

    3 year rule, 90 days early.

    Green card date is actually months earlier, but due to some long trips after entry, we didn't want to risk anything, so followed the advice of OldUser and waited.

      Pls I need advice 
       
      my partner is currently out of job , although he is working on getting something sooner 
       
      Can he file for K1 while he is out of job , we already prepared all out documents.
      Can we still send our file to the postal office even when he hasn’t gotten a job yet ?
      or it’s advisable to wait still when he has a job before we can summit the Form I-129F
       
      pls I need advice on this 
      thanks

      Hello! For an update, my husband flew back to Baghdad and shipped (DHL) to a friend in Ankara that has a translation business. He hand delivered Ali's passport to the embassy. Once it was ready for pick up, Omer retrieved my husband's passport with visa stamp inside and mailed it to my husband. I wish you the best of luck!
