My fiance was removed at the airport for not having a valid visa due to them taking her B2 away due to unauthorized employment from a phone search. To file a k1 do I need a 212 and 601 waiver? Or just the 212?
Or would it be better to get married and file the I-130 because there is no bar to adjustment for unauthorized employment for immediate relatives. Would I still need the 212 due to the removal and being subject to the 5 year bar? Does this apply to the K-1 visa also?

I have had 2 name changes in my life time. Name 1 was obviously at birth - name 2 was changed very briefly when I was 8 years old, and name 3 is my current name, which was changed when I was 9 years old. I do not possess any legal documentation with name 2, but remember using the name at school. Would I have to declare all 3 of these names, or only name 1 which is on my original birth certificate, and name 3 which is on all of my current documentation? I do not have access to any change of name documents - so if I have to declare all 3, would a notarised statutory declaration suffice? Thank you in advance for any response.

My (now) wife and step-daughter arrived in the US and we've since been married but haven't filed any forms.

Both my wife and step-daughter want to change their names but I'm confused when and how to do this.

From what I'm now reading I think I messed up in that I should've requested SS cards as soon as they arrived and if what I've read is correct my wife should've signed the name she wants on the marriage certificate??? Which confuses me since I thought it was a legal document and she had to use her current legal name????

I haven't filed the i-485 or i-765 or requested SS cards and I'm so confused as to what I should do first to get names changed and get the next steps going.

I just don't want to screw anything up,

Thanks for help.

So I got the Notice of Action after I submitted my AOS packet for my K1 spouse and K2 child. I made their online accounts on myUSCIS and immediately had an RFE for the for I-864 on both accounts. My question is do I send an RFE response for both accounts? Because they both have the same RFE, or do I just need to send one evidence request in one account?

Hello I'm new here.

My K1 visa has been approved, 129f done and I completed the DS-160 and paid.

Up until now the lawyer has handled everything and he told me to just wait for the email with instructions to schedule her interview and medical.

I've been reading the forum and I am seeing that you don't have to wait for the email from the embassy to schedule the interview and medical?

Can someone tell me how to do this? Where do I go to schedule the interview and medical without receiving the email yet from the embassy in Manila?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks
