    DV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?
    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
    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?
    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!

    N400 was delayed because of 912 fee waiver?

    USCIS received my application on 8/12/24 according to USPS tracking. A cover letter was included along with 912 and 400 forms.

    It's been 5 weeks and I heard nothing. Not even a receipt letter. Anyone is going through the same delay? Is the delay because of the 912? How long does it take to get the receipt for (912+400)?

    I kinda regret filing 912 because otherwise, I would have filed online with an instant receipt and the 400 could have been processed earlier.

    5 years taxes question

    Hey everyone,

    I just got my I-751 approved (with divorce waiver) and I am mentally preparing for the final hurdle. The earliest I can apply to N-400 is August 2025 (general 5 year rule). My question is about taxes.

    I currently have taxes filed for the following years:

    2021,2022,2023.

    By Aug 2025, I will have taxes filed for 2024.

    I am missing 2020. I was dependent on my ex-husband and I only got my conditional green card on Feb 2021. It was my ex-husband who would have filed it and I don t have a copy of it. Tbh I don t think he even filed it since he was so broke during that time.
    I don t have any contact with him.

    What do I do?

    General Provision or Married to US Citizen?

    I originally obtained my LPR status based on entering on a K1 visa (Fianc ' visa) and subsequently marrying my US citizen husband. This was about 18 years ago. We are still married and live together with our children.

    It is now time for me to submit form N-400 and I am wondering if I should base this on "General Provision" or "Married to US citizen"? Does it matter? Can I apply under General Provision even though I got my GreenCard based on marriage to a US citizen or would that be wrong to do? I don't want to do anything that would get me in trouble.

    Thanks.

    I m hoping to see what the timeline is looking like for Baltimore FO. I filed on June 12, 2024 for 90 days early 5 yr rule and in active review ever since. For people who are with Baltimore FO and getting their interview scheduled at this time, when did you apply?

    Hi guys,

    I received the Tax Return from my joint sponsor, including the State Income Tax Return. Will it be a problem if I submit all of them to USCIS as a supporting document for I-864?
