I'm in the process of filling out my I-129F for my Mexican fiance. We live together in Tijuana. Anyone else in Tijuana working on a fiance or spousal visa?

Hey VisaJourney Community,

I am looking for some advice on if there s anything I can do to get my case pushed through. I am the USC petitioner on a K1 visa application to bring my fianc here from Argentina. I have a federal criminal conviction from 2018 that was fully disclosed on our application with certified court records.

We received our NOA1 on 01-27-2025.

We received an I-797C requesting biometrics from the petitioner on 09-19-2025.

I completed the biometrics appointment on 10-17-2025.

I was following the processing timelines and availability to send a case inquiry on the USCIS site. I sent a case inquiry on 02-28-2026. As of this writing we have not heard anything back.

I m wondering if anyone has experience in something similar or any suggestions as to what we can do? We feel like we are in the dark and stuck in an endless wait. Are there any steps we should take or do we just have to tough it out and wait?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Got approval for my parents' I-130. Right before that, the State Department indefinitely paused issuing green cards for their country (Russia). Processing still continues - fees, DS-260, interview in Poland etc. They both possess one more citizenship, from a country not included in the 75. On DS-260 still have to show Russian address etc because that is where they actually reside, and listed the second citizenship. Can this second citizenship help with going around the pause?

Hello, I came through the site and I would like to start a service!

Hello! Good morning!

My name is Nosilaht, and the reason for my contact is. My brother is as a tourist in Toronto, Canada 2 years and 10 months, so far, he is legally as a tourist. He has been working as a service provider as a driver. He was working without a work permit.

In January 2026, he married an American citizen, and we remain married. They want to apply for the green card process. They meet every 15 days, sometimes also on Saturdays of each week.

He has already seen as an American tourist B2, but at the moment he is defeated. He was in the United States in 2019 and stayed 5 months and 26 days, he did not pass the 6-month period. And the aggravating factor is that he worked sporadically there.

However, there are three situations:

1- Having worked in the United States without permission.

2- He was working without a permit in Canada. He received the invoice here in the service provision in Canada. It has an open Trade Name (Company).

3- He is outside his country of origin, he has citizenship that is Brail. He would not like to return to Brazil to have to apply from there, because of the financial situation there. But if there is no way to apply from Canada, since it is almost 3 years and legally, he returns to Brazil and tries the species to get approved.

I would like to ask a question, has anyone ever gone through a situation like this or similar to my brother?

I will be very grateful with the answer.

Hi! My husband submitted an I-751 back in 2023 and we recently received a response from USCIS that we need to provide additional information. In his USCIS account, we see that he can respond to the RFE online, which is great, but it says that it is limited to only 10 documents, and we have more than 10 documents, because we want to ensure we provide enough evidence this time. The letter we received said that we needed to include the letter itself, and we have a cover letter explaining all of the documents, so it seems like we actually can only upload 8 documents, unless I am missing something?

There is some instruction about if you have other documents, you can upload them under the Documents tab as "unsolicited documents", but will they even look at these other documents then? I am attaching a screenshot of the instructions from the website.

Any advice on how we should handle uploading the documents? Should we just prioritize the ones we feel are the best evidence and submit those?

Thank you!
