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 friends,
I understand the wait time is estimated here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ my question is if anyone has had their I-212 waiver processed within the past year or two and can share their timeline. Based on my research I've seen some people have it processed within 2 to 3 weeks and some people wait roughly 8 months. They give a wait time of 30 months which however I feel about it doesn't seem accurate. Our I-212 was filed because we didn't know immigration status after filing multiple FOIA requests that had no pertinent info, and only found out our status after getting our I-130 approved then denied a day later due to needing an I-212. It has been 7 months since filing the I-212 and I guess my hope is that we are a family immigration visa so our I-212 seems to be a prioritized waiver, we updated our medical as it expires after 6 months just in case and are ready to go pending approval. Maybe this will help someone else one day who goes through this as it seems like some form of punishment and can be extremely demoralizing in my experience. Thanks for contributing in advance.

1 RepliesHello,
When writing a foreign address on the I130 form, should the address be translated into English. For example, in Romanian, the address includes: building #, stairway #, floor #. Should those be left in the native language or translated into English?
Thanks!

6 RepliesHello everyone,
The ZIP Code for where I live in NJ pops up 2 different town names for my bills, license, tax etc.
For ex. My gas bill says town X and water bill says town Y but same street address and zip. My NJ license has a different town name than my utility bill and mortgage statement but again same street address and zip code
I am about to file for my i751 removal of conditions.
Will this be an issue of half my evidence has 1 town name and the other documents have another town name but same zip code and street address. Not sure where to explain this to them to be honest.
