Changing AOS from Family Based Visas title

[ValerieA 350]

I know there was a thread about this before, but I couldn't find it. A LOT of people who are adjusting status due to marriage to a USC who did not come in on a K visa get confused and post in the "from Family Based Visas" thread, instead of the "from Work, Student, and Tourist Visas" thread. Vanessa&Tony spends a considerable amount of time moving threads to the appropriate forum (much appreciated, V!) When I first started AOS, I didn't understand why it wasn't just one topic with offshoots to the different visa types. I get it now. Those people who did come in on K visas tend to tell the people who are AOSing from a tourist visa inaccurate information. I understand that they are frustrated that their process took so long, and it seems the AOSers are taking a shortcut, but all people on this site deserve informed, non-judgemental information on what they are doing. I don't mean to suggest that they deliberately misinform people, but I think they take a very negative stance and give too much credence to rumours of visa denials.

I suggest that we change the names to "From K-Type Visas" and "From Non-K Type Visas" and see if the mispostings decline.

It's not just people who mis-post a topic. Sometimes people answer the topics inappropriately as well...
