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!-

2 RepliesHello and happy thanksgiving all!!
We have managed to get married and I have returned home to do the consular process.
After returning home, I realised that I got pregnant.
I understand it isnt possible to expedite but my husband is looking to a possibility of me giving birth in the US.
I am on Esta, and I doubt that I can get a B2 to visit US for 5 months and my job could only allow me to go on leave for 5 months.
Im at a loss on what to do.

5 RepliesAloha kakou,
After a minor RFE, we received our NOA2 dated 11/13. I am doing research about what to do/what happens next. I am seeing conflicting information. My friend John who is providing moral and logistical support says some things have changed since he went thru this. And I think my research is reflecting this.
Can some kind soul point Dina and I to a definitive resource as to what we should be doing now and what we should be preparing for?
Mahalo,
Bill and Dina

2 RepliesWhat are some reasons people fail the medical?
A danger to yourself or others, illegal drug use, highly contagious diseases like TB, those are pretty straight forward, but are there any gray areas?
For instance, after my abrupt separation in 2020, where my ex husband left me and my kids and moved far away in the early pandemic, I seeked help through a therapist and was put on sick leave. I went to therapy for a few years, and I suppose I technically still have a general anxiety and depression diagnosis on record, but I am not medicated or suicidal. I never went back to my old work, but I am currently enrolled in school to find a job better suited to me. Are these things that can become a problem? Like I said, I ended therapy and I am getting through school just fine, but I receive money from the state for this, until I can get another job.Also other things.. like general health, are there things people get in trouble for?

5 RepliesI m currently 18, and I moved to America in march of 2022.
I have to file to remove conditions in about 1 month and I m running into a problem.
My parents moved to Brazil permanently, effectively abandoning the green cards.
I ve built a life here by myself, I m married and I have a job and everything.
I ve talked to a person that prepares the forms to be sent to the USCIS. They ve never seen a case like mine.
I m wondering if anyone knows another about this. Can I file separately? Can I file at all by myself?

2 RepliesHi,
I submitted a CRBA application in Pakistan but I wanted to ask do they honor your date request for an interview as it is difficult to travel from USA without advanced notice, or do they give you a date they choose
