    PSA: If entering the USA 2 years after marriage, kindly remind the immigration officer of this

    PSA: If entering the USA 2 years after marriage, kindly remind the immigration officer of this

    spicynujac posted a topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures,

    When we last entered the US, our immigration officer said "Oh, hmm I wonder if I could go ahead and change you an IR-1."  The agent right next to him said "Yes, you can do that" and he acted surprised. His comments made it pretty clear he was going to erroneously issue us a CR-1 and he seemed to not even know he could change the visa status until his coworker advised him (THANK GOODNESS she overheard!).  I don't know how onerous the process is to correct such an oversight but I'm glad we didn't have to find out!
     
    Just wanted to pass this along in the hopes it saves someone from any problems with the wrong stamp being placed in the passport, as I've read about here before....  I would kindly remind the officer "We married >2 years ago.  We can enter with an IR-1 visa now right?"

    I entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa on June 1st and left for Canada on June 2nd, remaining here for 20 days. I am now attempting to return to the U.S. through Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) using Automatic Visa Revalidation (AVR). My K-1 visa is expired, but my I-94 is still valid. Am I ok?

    Wrong USCIS application form filed by my lawyer!

    narayan333 posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports,

    Hello, so my wife came in k-1 visa to USA and we got married and all. We filled for work permit and green card together but while doing that my lawyer filed for I-130 no idea why. Will that application make my process for work permit and green card slow? If so how do I withdrawal that application? My lawyer isn’t helpful at all. I need some help…

    Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?

    PeachyTocker posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,

    My gf and I live in Thailand but spend 2-4months in the US per year. Once/if we have children age 5+, the time split would become vice versa. We have no plans to live full-time in the United States in the next 5 years, but I visit my family and friends 2-3x per year for 2-3 weeks at a time. I would love it if she can join me for those trips and experience that part of my life. What options do we have -- US visa wise, maybe a tourist or fiance visa later? Other?

    Abandoned AOS and now regret it

    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?

    US Citizen with Foreign Fiancé: When and How to Get Married?

    gandalf1989 posted a topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures,

    I'm currently living and working in the United States. My fiancé currently lives in Japan. We have been dating for about 6 months, and we have met in person several times, but we are not yet married.
    My fiancé will be visiting me in the United States on a tourist visa some time in March or April and staying for about 3 months. I want to file for a fiance/spouse visa asap -- what's next?

    Question About The List of People who had got RFE on VisaJourney Webpage
    5:51 am today

    Hi!

    I'm sorry if this is the wrong section I'm writing this post - I'm still learning how to do this

    I remember half a year ago I accidentally found a list of people that had got RFE and reason of it, and next to that when they got approved if I'm not wrong.

    I might have been mixing up something, maybe it wasn't on VisaJourney webpage.. but I do remember that it was a downloadable word file where you could see a list of profiles/people.

    Thanks in advance!

    Filing for Step Children

    Hello everyone,

    I'm a bit worried about my children (stepchildren). With the insecurity in the country of their abode, I'm very worried about their safety.

    I am a US citizen, filed for my husband. He has his conditional greencard. We filed for condition removal early this year but he was given an extension. I feel this wouldn't enable him to be able to file for the children on time.

    Can I file for them? I'm willing to start the process asap if I can.

    Thank you all for your input.

    Hello Forum! How are you? I ask the whole community. What do you think will happen with these new restrictions to 19 countries that will see their migration processes paralyzed. Do you think that this will affect or not the speed of USCIS to process the cases of those migrants who are NOT from those 19 countries? Is there anyone here who is from one of those banned countries and is in the immigration process or have you already seen your procedure suspended? Big hug to the whole community!

    Hello I am at the end of filling out the docs for I-130 and the I-130a. I'm a little confused with the part of the I-130a where it asked about an interpreter and preparer.

    Does anyone know, if I the (petitioner) am filling out the form for my spouse (beneficiary) , can I be the interpreter and the preparer.

    There's a question on the I-130a that says to use the same person that was listed on the first form...I-130a There was no person used on the first form. I-130 so do I answer this part or no on the I130a

    Someone please and thank you for any and all responses.

      Hello @Cesarr. I hope you are doing well. I wanted to check with you to ask if you've received any news from the NVC? Some people with DQ dates in October have started to receive appointments. Did you receive a message?

      you received a NOIR NOT NOID
      you do include the notice when you send your evidence back
       
      you will need to submit it according to the letter you receive
      with actual proof that each and every issue the CO came up with is mistaken
       
      Example:  actual proof is sending dated messages that prove your case -not just saying "we talked of that" or "we did that"
       
      proof of all visits are boarding passes not itinerary 
      read flags? 
      like big age difference
      little actual in person time together is limited
