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 RepliesIm subject to the 212e requirement J1 visa. I finished my program and returned home to fulfill the requirement. By now I finished 15 months ( 9 months to go ). During this t month My I-130 got approved and my pd is August 2024.
im concerned about the NVC stage; as im still in the process of fulfilling the 2 years requirement. Im confused about this part, I saw a lot of cases mentioning that it s at the interview stage at the consulate where you should prove completion of the 212e requirement.
please any insights, information or advice ?

5 RepliesHi, I'm currently based in the UK under skilled worker visa.
I'm planning to visit my boyfriend in the US and I will stay there with him for 3 months.
Question is, since my current employer would not allow me to have long-term leave and I'll decide to resign, would I be questioned by the immigration regarding my employment status?
Also, if my boyfriend would decide to propose after my 3 months stay, would the immigration ask my employment status in the UK as well?

14 RepliesHi everyone,
My wife and I got married in April and at that time I was still going to school.I move with her in the small town where she works. I was not able to find a job there and then got a job offer in the big city.
For now I stay at my friend's house on weekday and come back on weekend.I have to get an apartment in January and I don't know if that would be a red flag for the process.
