I lived in Canada for 2 years (2016 2018) and I m now applying for the K1 visa. I m unsure whether I need to provide a Canadian criminal record check or if getting just the NZ one will be enough.

I tried to google but I'm quite confused about how to get it. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hi y all,

Yesterday I finally got reunited with my fianc (yay!) The poe was Washington DC, while the process smooth and calm (especially since there was really no line)

But here comes the issue, while I was waiting for my connecting flight I checked CBP link to make sure my I-94 was entered. Which it was but it showed December 3 instead of March 3. My stamp in the passport definitely shows 3/3/2026.

So my fianc and I decided to visit the closest Deferred Inspection Site since they only accept visits. While we were gathering the evidence we went to the website instead of the CBP link app. Where we found out that on the website it does show the correct I-94 entry date.

We are still going tomorrow to make sure there will arise no issues, but I was just wondering if anyone else dealt with this before?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, does anyone know the correct email address to contact the Lagos consulate to request a change to an immigrant visa appointment due to medical reasons? I messaged them over a month ago to these two emails with no response. LagosIV@state.gov and Nigeria@usvisaappt.com. I also sent a case inquiry with NVC and haven t heard back either. Website given to reschedule doesn't work either.

Hello, can t really find this anywhere.

Got my 2yr GC 03/2023, expired 03/2025. Divorce finalized 06/2023. I have a solid set of proof for the marriage. Filed 751 01/2025. I still haven t heard anything.

Lost GC, got 551 stamp.

My question is that I recently got married to a USC and do I refile and restart AOS again based on this new marriage? or do I wait until I hear back re: 751?

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but none of the others seemed to match. I'm hoping to determine if anyone has tips on the US adoption process of a stepchild from the Philippines. Her father is absent, zero support or contact for 7 years. Mother has solo parent ID from PH government, but I predict that the US court system will want some form of affidavit or ruling from a court that awarded sole custody. If we must seek the father's permission, that could take years to locate him and likely pay him for that right. I'm hoping to learn what the mother will need to gather from the PH before she leaves in a few months.
