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!-

1 RepliesI petionned for my father visa. On the day of the interview he was asked to provide some documents but while his case was under administrative process my father said that he no longer wishes to immigrate and wants to withdraw his application. The embassy asked me to withdraw the application with a notorized letter which they received and sent an email stating acknowledgment on 05/2024. I though that file was now closed so he asked for a tourist visa to come visit and he was issued a blue slip and a denial stating that withdrawal not complete under their system. Does anyone know how long it takes for an application to be completed revoked from uscis and if they will m ow notify me ?

1 RepliesHi everyone,
As I prepare the complete document package for my wife's IV interview (DCF in Frankfurt, exceptional circumstances), I m having some doubts about my wife s Mongolian birth and police certificates. She obtained them as PDFs through an official government portal.
The PDFs state, An electronic document with a unique number issued by the system of public service is valid as a paper document. However, I m feeling a bit paranoid because the documents are titled:
1. Reference of birth certificate
2. Reference on civil criminal records...instead of Birth Certificate and Certificate of Civil Criminal Records.
The documents contain a document number and QR code that takes you to the website `e-mongolia.mn`, where you can see the document online.I ve attached redacted copies for your review. Am I overthinking this, or is there a legitimate reason to be concerned? Appreciate any insights. Thank you!
Overseas- need to recreate lost IV Packet 8:47 am today

1 RepliesMy wife local filed and received her CR-1 visa in March 2024 at the Riyadh embassy. In August we finally were told that her green card hasn t arrived because her Visa Packet was never received and it needs to be recreated.
We still live in Riyadh until June 2025 with the military but the Riyadh Embassy will not help us recreate her visa packet. They say that she has to do that in the states but she can t get to the states before her temporary I-551 expires.
I called USCIS and they said to recreate the packet at the embassy but the embassy refuses and are rude. I have called my congresswoman each week for three weeks to ask them to intervene but they also just keep saying that they will get back to me.
Now I am worried that her temp green card is going to expire before this problem gets resolved and I don t know how to renew it since she technically doesn t have an I-551. As overseas military we could have filed her N-400 by now.
