Mariammaria posted a topic in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Please be nice, I know I made a mistake... But got my K1 approved and arrived in the US June 25, 2024 and applied for AOS February 25, 2025 -- then left the US (abandoned my AOS). Will I be banned for re-entry to the US -- even under a spouse visa?-

N400: Admitted to Weed during Green Card (was it a crime I was not arrested for?)
Left Over posted a topic in US Citizenship General Discussion,
To start, marijuana is illegal in my country of origin. When I was applying for my green card I admitted to trying marijuana when I was in my 20's (I'm 49 now). I got my green card and have lived in the US for 5 years. I'm in the process of applying for citizenship. What answer should I give to the question: "Have you EVER committed, agreed to commit, asked someone else to commit, helped commit, or tried to commit a crime or offense for which you were NOT arrested? Yes or No" given that I admitted to past marijuana use during the GC process?-

Fiancée threatened with deportation by customs agent after arriving at airport for false accusations. How concerned should we be?

Firstly, I want to get some things clear because I know everyone will say this otherwise:
We are seeing an immigration attorney for consultation soon. We've already printed out several documents to prove that my fiancée is not coming here with the intent to live here for the future until they get the K-1 Visa... Now, Heres the actual story...- 53 replies
Fiance or Marriage Visa in 2025 ? Pros and cons?
KandB posted a topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration,
I'm 23F 🇨🇿, my partner is 29M 🇺🇲
We want to get our visa going sometime this year and want to be together as soon as possible but we are still unsure which visa would serve us better. I'd like to get married in my home country but on the other side i wouldn't mind getting married paperwise in the US and waiting for my work permit and etc if it would allow us to be together faster and then save up for and have our dream wedding in my home country.
What do you think ? All of this is so overwhelming and confusing and we just want to do the right thing.
I asked the same question on reddit, so many people recommended me to go with fiance visa, two suggested marriage visa. I need more input and advice from experienced people. Thank you
Ps: is it possible to have dual citizenship so i don't lose one from my home country? How does that work ?- 31 replies

1 RepliesPls I have a question. My friend submitted a lease agreement that was edited by his friend who subleased a room to him in his apartment when he was filling N-400 the first time. So the leasing agreement he submitted did not tally with the one in the leasing office because his friend added him and his ex wife to the lease manually. After he filed the n400, his application was denied based on lack of moral character. So he has waited for 5 years after the incident to apply again. Do you have any advice for him when he wants to go for his interview?
Also we want to know if the ISo would refer to the lease agreement issues that did not tally during his first citizenship application.

5 RepliesMy GF recently got rejected for a tourist visa to come visit NY
On the application form she put my name as a contact information of someone she knows in USA but in the interview she did not specifically say she was going to visit me she said she was doing sightseeing.
The interviewer asked about her previous travel to turkey and who she traveled with and who funded it. I think she was nervous and responded that she traveled alone and she funded it however I met her in turkey and I had to pay for her flight ticket on that trip because her credit card didn't work on the Turkish website. The interviewer did not give any specifics on why she was denied just questioned how she'd afford it and told her to do more research next time.
Is our relationship doomed now if in the future we got engaged or married and now will get rejected for any other visas due to her previous responses?

3 RepliesHello, I'm a US citizen.
My girlfriend of nine years lives in Canada, and we'd like to get married. What's our best option? Chat gpt tells me that we can apply for a K1 or a CR-1 visa. If we got married tomorrow in Canada, how long would it be before she could live and work in the USA? Can she come visit me and go back and forth as she pleases until the visa is approved and she gets the green card? Is there any advantage at all for the K1 visa? Our big concern is the time she'd have to take off work if we did the K1 thing and she had to wait for a year or more to work in the USA.
