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 RepliesHi everyone!
I'm filing Adjustment of Status soon and last thing I need done is translating my birth certificate. I came across a post from some time ago saying that you can actually do your own translation and attach a statement certifying that you're fluent in both languages and that the translation is accurate, sign and date and that's it. Is this still the case?
The documents I'm translating are super easy and took me 10 mins to finish but I'm just wondering if this is actually allowed or is it going to be flagged as conflict of interest, or is there any other formatting requirements I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for your time to help!

5 RepliesMy husband had his interview today at Islamabad embassy. They approved all the documents and at the end gave him the 221G white slip that had AP checked off and passport to be sent via courier. He said the interview officer asked for his travel dates to other countries which he gave and then asked for PCC report which he didn t have because he had already left the country and the country doesn t provide non citizens pcc if they have already left the country (listed on the state website as well) Officer didn t give him a chance to explain or ask for other information. He asked if he needs to provide something and reason for refusal, they said they need more time on their end and didn t ask for anything else. They didn t send him any form or ask him to fill out anything to give more information. I know AP has no time frame but in standard cases how long does it typically take or has taken people in their experience?
