Hi everyone

My fianc is coming to the US from Vietnam next month through JFK. She is a K1 visa holder. I wonder if she needs to fill out any form on the airplane. What does she need to give CPB officer beside the package that I received at the consulate?

Can someone please confirm how long India PCC is valid for CR1 visa ?

According to these documents here from NVC it is two years but I keep getting conflicting information

The regional passport office says 6 months but I think this does not apply because they are referring to for India usage purposes.

Anyone actually hear of anyone with PCC between 6-24 months old get denied ?

Hello. US citizen petitioning for my mother to come to the States. At the Civil Documents stage - I submitted all relevant documents including a death certificate for her first and only marriage. A police report for my mother was also submitted.

The police report was rejected and they are now asking for POLICE CERTIFICATE (1st MARRIAGE). What exactly is this? A letter from the police stating that we were married and confirming his death?

Thank you

Hello, I'm asking for someone not in the VJ community.

Situation: Filipina Mom with US green card from EB3 visa and Philippines passport gave birth in the US. Toddler is US citizen with US passport and Philippines Report of Birth. Filipina Mom wants to travel to the Philippines with Toddler to stay with the Filipina's Mom and Sisters or Toddler's Filipina Grandma Lola and Aunts Ates. Filipina Mom wants to return to the US within 1 month to continue work, but also wants to leave the Toddler in the Philippines with Lola and Ates to take care for extended period of time like from 6 months to 2 years.

Question: What documentations should be prepared for the Toddler? Philippines passport?

What are the legal custody documentations to be prepared for Lola and Ates to take care of the Toddler?

They want the proper documentations to avoid any misunderstanding or suspicions of human trafficking, etc.?

My fianc and I FINALLY received word that his interview is scheduled for the first week of Sept. 2025. We have submitted the DS-160 and have scheduled the medical exam, but I am so confused as to how to pay the fee online, when going through the Moroccan Embassy it ask you to create an account which my fianc did and then to choose what visa is paying for, we choose the "Non-immigrant Visa, K1 Visa, once we put in all the information it requested, his info plus the # on the DS-160, it took us on how we would want to pick up the material, we clicked on pickup which is near the Embassy of Casablanca, then it takes us to part on how we would like to pay, we chose to pay cash, but then we get stuck there and confused to what to do next. The letter we received states the following "The total fee for an immigrant visa is $265. payment must be made using local currency. You can pay your fee only at Cash Plus or online using your www.ustraveldocs.com profile."

There is no option on paying on the day of the interview.

The thing is that we already have the interview scheduled and this system is to pay the Visa and to schedule for the interview, so I am confused on that as well.

When we click on Click here to pay by cash, we are sent to another website and not sure if we should be filling that out and submitting. Some please Help!!!!
