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 RepliesHello,
My wife's interview is being handled in Tunis as there is no US Consulate in her home country - since we both don't reside in Tunis we will have to travel there for the interview and ideally keep the trip as short as possible making time for the medical exams/interview. While Dr. Meriem Chaabene has been accessible via Whatsapp and very responsive Im having trouble getting a hold of the xray/blood labs.

- How long does this take to receive results and is it walk ins only?
Thank you
Do I have to create a new USCIS account for a paper-filed case even though I already had the account? 11:00 pm yesterday

2 RepliesI filed my I-485 and received a notice in the mail with instructions to create a USCIS account using an online access code to check the status of my application.
But, I already had a USCIS account before this green card application, and I used that account number on the forms for my green card application. I expected to check the status using my existing account, but it seems like I need to create a separate account for this.
When I tried to add the case by receipt number on the USCIS website, it said the case is linked to another account. Is it normal to need a new account for this? If so, which account should I use if I file a non-green card application in the future?

3 RepliesHey, has anyone else had this problem, I'm trying to type in the additional information section however the pdf won't let me write my name or A-number. It won't let me click on them to add text for some reason. However it will let me type in the text boxes below. Would it be ok to just print it out and have that part handwritten?
