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!-

My friend has an appointment coming up in December and would like to know if they are requesting the people who have interviews confirm that they are coming to the interview. As far as i know you just attend the interview with your appointment letter and confirmation letter and other civil docs. Your help is truly appreciated.

NEWARK n400 HELP? 9:02 pm today

4 RepliesHi,
My wife and I are applying for the N-400, and she is unsure about whether or not to request a name change. I have a specific question: If she requests a name change on the form itself versus requesting it during the interview, does it make a difference in terms of scheduling the same-day oath ceremony or causing any delays?
She applied in a field office (newark) where they conduct the oath ceremony the same day, so I d like to know if requesting a name change at the interview would affect this process. Specifically, do they typically process name changes before the interview, or is it handled only during the interview? Any clarity on this would be very helpful.

1 RepliesHi all. As the topic said, we are wondering if I need to go to my K1 interview in London with originals of petitioner s documents or the scanned sent to me will be good enough? Especially divorce certificate (and also affidavit of support, tax returns).
If scanned copies are okay, do they need to be signed by petitioner?Answers and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
