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!-

2 RepliesHello,
Both me and my wife's Green Card is expiring in another 6 moths. We are now considering to apply for citizenship, however, not sure if we need to first get the GC extended prior to applying for citizenship? What if we directly apply for citizenship now and this process takes longer than 6 months? Do they give some sort of evidence that I can use for employment status and international travel use if I apply for citizenship?
Please advise.
Traveling to US on ESTA after getting married online utah - no intent for AOS 7:39 am today

4 RepliesMy fiance (UK citizen) and I (US citizen) live together outside of the US and are considering getting married online, which would be registered in Utah. We would like to get married online for convenience purposes, and have no intent to move to the US. We are planning to visit my family in the US shortly after the online marriage, and I'm wondering if this could cause any issues. Would my then husband still be able to enter the US to visit on an ESTA visa waiver? He currently has ESTA approval from a previous visit to the US last year.
We have no plans to move to the US in the foreseeable future, but I'm wanting to make sure that an online marriage registered in Utah wouldn't cause us issues with short visits to the US on an ESTA visa waiver, and longer term, the possibility of applying for spouse visa in the future if we ever wanted to move to the US.

2 RepliesHi All,
I am currently in working to complete my application form I-485 after being married to my U.S citizen spouse. I am stuck, and I need help. Part 1, Q27 which say what is your current immigration status (if it had changed since your last arrival). I am wondering what to fill in this section since I am currently under an asylum status that is still pending, and not yet approved.
I need your help for those that have gone through this process of changing from pending asylum to adjusting through U.S citizen.
