    DV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?

    DV 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?

    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!

    Different name on current Passport VS an old valid US visa
    9:50 pm yesterday

    My father is having US tourist visa stamped in his old passport.
    Old passport and visa has format -:
    <Surname> <First Name> <Middle Name>
    e.g.- <Surname> <First Name> ABC
    He recently renewed passport and corrected middle name which was asked by passport office (to keep it consistent with other docs like Aadhar card, Bank docs etc.)
    New passport format -:
    <Surname> <First Name> <Middle Name>
    e.g.- <Surname> <First Name> ABCDE (DE was appended in middle name in latest passport)
    Can he travel with his old visa while carrying both passports OR any specific documents he needs to carry OR he needs to get altogether new stamping ?
    Kindly suggest.

    Late June-Mid July 2024 Filers, Skipped Batch

    "USCIS has temporarily skipped cases filed between June 28th and July 11th, 2024. While we cannot predict when they will return to this date range, a similar delay occurred for cases filed between February 23rd and March 6th, 2024, and USCIS eventually resumed processing those cases. We will continue to monitor this situation closely. In the meantime, we recommend keeping an eye on the Recent Status Changes section for updates on USCIS activity."
    It seems that USCIS has skipped a batch of cases again as referenced here so I am starting a thread to track things with other people in our group.

    Personally we filed on July 3rd, got our NOA 1.
    No NOA2 or other movement as yet.

    Im subject to the 212e requirement J1 visa. I finished my program and returned home to fulfill the requirement. By now I finished 15 months ( 9 months to go ). During this t month My I-130 got approved and my pd is August 2024.

    im concerned about the NVC stage; as im still in the process of fulfilling the 2 years requirement. Im confused about this part, I saw a lot of cases mentioning that it s at the interview stage at the consulate where you should prove completion of the 212e requirement.

    please any insights, information or advice ?

    Tourist Visa (Unemployed)

    Hi, I'm currently based in the UK under skilled worker visa.

    I'm planning to visit my boyfriend in the US and I will stay there with him for 3 months.

    Question is, since my current employer would not allow me to have long-term leave and I'll decide to resign, would I be questioned by the immigration regarding my employment status?

    Also, if my boyfriend would decide to propose after my 3 months stay, would the immigration ask my employment status in the UK as well?

    I have a question which form should my mother use, is it i864a or i864?

    the petitioner is my sister which she fill up i864 then her husband fill up i864a they filed their taxes jointly.

    Which forms does my mother will use?

    they live the same address and my mother has separate income and my sister didn't include them in their taxes as other dependent.

    just confused with this.

    Thank You Guys

      I sent my I 485 adjustment of status(family based) on Nov 21. It is showing the package was delivered on Nov 24. The ticket to leave US is on Dec 4. What happens if the receipt is not done by Dec 4 do you have to leave the country or it’s okay to stay in US as I have already applied for the adjustment of status. I know you cannot leave the country but what happens if you don’t receive the receipt of notice.
