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 RepliesHey everyone, so I should explain my situation to all of you. I'm a brazilian moving to canada for college in september this year and I started dating my US citizen boyfriend in October 2024 (3 months ago). We recently got to be physically together for the first time ever in Seattle from December 26 2024 to Jan 16 2025 and coming back from the trip has felt absolutely miserable.
We've decided to look into marriage and a CR-1 visa. But our concern is the government finding it suspicious. They plan on coming to Brazil around June and we also plan on having me fly over to the US again in July so we can get married in Seattle and apply for the CR-1 right away but we're concerned over not having "enough proof" for them besides photos and texts of us being together. Should I be concerned?

Possibility of transfering CR1/IR1 spouse application to another country using a digital nomad visa. 4:48 pm today

3 RepliesHey folks:
We're waiting for the CR1/IR1 visa for my wife. She is from an African country with the worst processing times. She and I are both digital nomads (i.e. we work remotely.) I know that some countries like Spain issue digital nomad visas that seem to allow issuance of a Residence Permit Card for holders of a digital nomad visa (source). I also know that US embassy in Spain processes applications much faster than the US embassy in her home country.
My question though: if she gets a digital nomad visa in Spain, will she be also able to transfer her case to the US embassy in Spain? Has anyone tried it with a digital nomad visa?
What is the process to amend an L1-B visa? 4:33 pm today

1 RepliesI entered the US on an L1-B visa back in August 2024. My employer has offered me a new job in the US that is going to change my job responsibilities. They will have to amend my L1-B visa to reflect these changes.
What is the process like to amend my current visa? I m a Canadian citizen and my L1-B visa was stamped at the Toronto Pearson Airport. Will I need to take the amended petition to the border service at the airport or will my employer just file something with USCIS directly? What is the timeline if my employer has to file the amended petition directly with USCIS?
