I visited the US in may of 2025 with my parents (it was my first time) for 7 days in New York we stayed at a hotel. I was just wondering would it be advisable for me to go again in August 2025 by myself to visit my long distance girlfriend? She couldn t meet me in New York due to certain reasons. Would that time frame from may to August be too short to travel again?

Is anyone here who filed a K-1 visa petition in December 2024 (around December 2nd) and has received approval? Just curious if there's a delay in processing for December 2024 K-1 cases."

Hello all,

My fiance completed her TB Treatment back on September 04, 2024. Slec has previously advised us to come back a year after. I already scheduled her next medical exam on September 8 2025.

My questions are:

1) Do I need to pay for the medical exam although we already paid for the 1st exam?

2) Is it ok to just schedule my next medical examination, as I stated above?

3) What do I do with K-1 Visa since it is expired?

4) Do I need to redo my D160?

5) What other things do we need to work on?

I truly appreciate your assistance with this.

Hi everyone,

I ve already received my NOA2 and have been waiting for my case number for about 2 months now.

I m planning to submit a public inquiry to the NVC, but I m wondering:

1. is it okay if the beneficiary submits the public inquiry to ask Case Number, or does it have to be the petitioner?

2. how long does it usually take to receive the case number after submitting the public inquiry?

Thanks in advance for your help

Just like the title says. I have been told before by two separate USCIS agents on the phone that, no, I do
not need to file I-90 for the lost 2 yr green card. I don't want to have to spend an extra 500 usd on it.
I am just wanting to make sure that I am right and that I won't have to deal with an RFE.

Saving money is also not the only reason I'm looking to avoid filing I-90.
Uscis' own webpage states "DO NOT submit this form if you are a conditional resident seeking to
remove conditions on your Green Card."

Now I'm no longer a conditional resident, however the 797 for the 751 approval says it can take 60
days for the 10 year green card to reach us, so I'm still thinking I'll just go ahead and file n400
with the police report, along with a cover letter explaining that I lost the card while traveling.

What do you guys think of my plan? Again, I've planned it this way to avoid a pesky RFE (or god forbid,
a denial letter). And even USCIS seem to agree with my method since I would be ineligible to file I-90
anyways as a conditional resident (am not anymore with the 751 approval, but that card can take 60 days
to reach us).

Guess I have to include the notice for this approval as well with another cover letter? Is there something
else I'm missing? Sorry for making this so complicated.

Thank you for any potential answers, hope you guys are having a great day.
