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

Petrisaint Mpaka posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures, January 4

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, January 20

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, June 16, 2023

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!

Hi- I ve been in California for 4 months now visiting my parents. I m a Canadian citizen and entered the US with the intent of just visiting but I ve decided now that I would like to stay here permanently if legally possible.

I ve read that even though I wasn t issued a B visa that I m technically in B status? I m over 21 and my parents are naturalized US citizens . Is it possible to adjust from this B status to a permanent resident application and remain here?

Hello everyone,

I had my visa interview on September 30th, and during the interview, the consular officer told me my visa was approved. However, when I check the status on the CEAC portal, it still shows "Ready," and the last updated date keeps changing.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal for the status to take time to update to "Issued"? Any experiences or advice would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone recommend a place to get fingerprints done? We need to have them for a application for a Thai Police Clearance report, however the Thai Consulate in Chengdu didn't do them correctly the first time.

We are wondering if there are any alternative services? We tried at her local town police station and district police station in Guang'an, but neither provide this service either
