PSA: If entering the USA 2 years after marriage, kindly remind the immigration officer of this
spicynujac posted a topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures,
When we last entered the US, our immigration officer said "Oh, hmm I wonder if I could go ahead and change you an IR-1." The agent right next to him said "Yes, you can do that" and he acted surprised. His comments made it pretty clear he was going to erroneously issue us a CR-1 and he seemed to not even know he could change the visa status until his coworker advised him (THANK GOODNESS she overheard!). I don't know how onerous the process is to correct such an oversight but I'm glad we didn't have to find out!
Just wanted to pass this along in the hopes it saves someone from any problems with the wrong stamp being placed in the passport, as I've read about here before.... I would kindly remind the officer "We married >2 years ago. We can enter with an IR-1 visa now right?"-

Hello, so my wife came in k-1 visa to USA and we got married and all. We filled for work permit and green card together but while doing that my lawyer filed for I-130 no idea why. Will that application make my process for work permit and green card slow? If so how do I withdrawal that application? My lawyer isn’t helpful at all. I need some help…-

Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?
PeachyTocker posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,
My gf and I live in Thailand but spend 2-4months in the US per year. Once/if we have children age 5+, the time split would become vice versa. We have no plans to live full-time in the United States in the next 5 years, but I visit my family and friends 2-3x per year for 2-3 weeks at a time. I would love it if she can join me for those trips and experience that part of my life. What options do we have -- US visa wise, maybe a tourist or fiance visa later? Other?

1 RepliesHello,
I filled an I-130 for my father in April 2024. USCIS Approved the case On November 2025. The case is sent to NVC. then, I received an email from NVC Stated that "The U.S Embassy in Port-au-Prince has suspended all operation and you cannot continue your visa process in Haiti at this time. the U.S Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas is the designated processing post for nationals of Haiti. You may request to change your interview appointment location to U.S Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas. If you are a resident of another country, you may request to interview at another U.S Embassy or Consulate that processes immigrant visas."
Does a Haitian used the U.S embassy in Nassau, Bahamas. or any advices will help.
Thank you,

13 RepliesHi Guys,
I had my Naturalization interview on 11/10/25 at Norfolk office. After interview completed officer gave me interview result paper, which states I have passed my English test and US history and government test, but on second section it says they can not make decisions on your case at this moment. Officer told me because I recently moved to she has to transfer my file to the other office and they will make final decision.
The officer made me sign oath of allegiance electronically.
when I searched online it says office won t make sign the oath of allegiance if the N400 is not approved.
can you please share your thoughts regarding this situation.
