Community SpotlightDV 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?
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!-

1 RepliesHello! It's been a while since I've been on this site. I'm planning to apply for a visiting visa for my mom in Jamaica . Do you think she'll need a job letter as part of the application? I've been living in the USA for 8 years, and I m a US citizens. I'm hoping she won't have any issues getting approved for the visa. What are experiences?

6 RepliesHey there!
I've already received my noa1.
I'm insecure with one point of the petition: We sent the relationship proof with my fianc 's passport stamps for example, but I forgot to put the identification page of his passport. I'm afraid of getting an RFE because of that. I also put a proof of plane travel that we did together and some expenses on his credit card, in addition to some photos of us. I put in the petition that he met my family here but my family is not photogenic so we didn't have a photo.
Another point, we put in our letter of meeting in person that we met on the date xxx, and in the relationship proof I put expenses of that day, but I forgot to put the subtitle, it's together with expenses that of another month that he was here too
Anyway, do you think I'm at risk of RFE?
Thank you!
Domestic Assault charge 7:50 pm today

1 RepliesHello,
I am trying to petition for my girlfriend to come to the US. I have a harrasment by telephone conviction on my record from 2007. Original charge was terroistic threats (I was a dumb teenager). I believe it would fall under the domestic violence classification, not sure. It was over 15 years ago and I have not been in any trouble since. I am just seeking advice on the best way to go about the application process and any information that can be given that would help save me time and headaches. Thanks.
Do I need to submit Form I-134 somewhere or can my fiance bring it to her K1 visa interview? 5:52 pm today

3 RepliesI have just completed Form I-134 in preparation of my fiances interview at the embassy and am wondering if it needs to be submitted somewhere or if I can send it along with the supporting documentation to her to present at the K1 visa interview if needed.
Also two questions for the form:1. Part 1 Question 1 Basis for filing. If I send it to her to show at the interview we should select "I am filing this form on behalf of Myself as the beneficiary" even though I'm the one that's filled it out right?
2. Part 2 Question 12 Beneficiary's Anticipated Length of Stay. What do we put for this? We don't know when her visa will be issued and obviously the plan is for us to get married nad have her stay here forever but selecting "no end date" seems wrong. I have seen people suggesting to write in TBD but any other suggestions/advice?
