So my wife s case was at the NVC in feb 2025 and they asked for additional docs, i submitted them after which look like they accepted the doc and i got a message saying we were DQ. now this was march 2025.

so we are waiting for the Interview date, the other day I decide to login to the NVC just to see if there s anything to see and what I saw confused me.

i see the original message saying that the case has been DQ as of march however they are indicating they need the same additional document they previously asked for; the same doc they asked for previously, that I uploaded they reviewed and accepted and DQd the case.

I got no email indicating the NVC wanted me to submit additional documents and again she s DQ according to the message in the NVC system.
So my question is what s going on?

1 has anyone had a this kind of an experience?

2 how did they deal with it?

3 what was the outcome.

appreciate any insight and experience anyone can share

Hi everyone,

I recently became a citizen about 2 months ago and just found out that I owe some money in state taxes for 2023. I had no idea about this debt until today when I received a tax warrant. I ve already paid the amount, but I m worried now about the possibility of denaturalization since they ask you if you owe any state taxes in your interview and n400 form, and I answered no to that question every time. I'm worried that this could be seen as fraud/lying or something similar. As mentioned, I had no idea of this until today, but I'm now worried about this affecting my citizenship. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Not sure if this has been asked but my wife and I are planning to visit Vietnam early next year for Tet. Her GC is currently expired and she has the 48 month extension letter. It has been 2 years since we submitted the I751. Any, with current Trump adm, any issue coming back to the US? I have been reading the news about people getting stopped with expired GC at entry port. I also see lots of people coming back with no issues. I just want to ask people that just recently visited Vietnam to see if they had any issues? Do you foresee any issue starting next year? ICE just got tons of funding to crack down on illegal immigrants so things may be heating up.

Hello everyone!

I recently got engaged to my girlfriend back in February. We've been in a long-distance relationship for almost 4 years now, and we're thinking of taking the next step.

We were sure we wanted to go through the K-1 visa process, but since a couple of days ago, I've been lurking in the forums of VJ and reading more and more about both the K1 and CR1 visas. Now I'm debating on going for the CR-1 visa instead.
I've read quite a bit about the pros and cons of each, but I've got a couple of questions to ask before we decide on what route to take.

For the K-1
I believe right now, the processing time to get to the US is about a year? Possibly a year and a half. But then you have to get married within the 90 days, and then you have to do the adjustment of status. From what I've read (I might've read some old threads, so this might have changed, or processing times might be different), the processing time for the adjustment of status can be about a year? Is this accurate? Could it take longer? Or perhaps could it take less time? I'm a bit worried about being financially dependent on her for a long period of time. If it were, let's say, 3 months or 4 months, we could stomach it, but I feel like somewhere closer to a year, it'd be really rough on both of us.

For the CR-1
We're not yet married. Personally, I have no qualms about marrying her today and getting the certificate. How would we go about that, and what steps should we take for it to not be considered Visa Fraud? I got my B-2 visa about 2 years ago. I imagine if I were to visit and get married in the US, that would be bad, no?
Is our only option getting married through the Utah process that I've seen some people mention in VJ? Or how about her coming to Mexico and us getting married here ASAP, and then getting started on the process ASAP as well? Would we need to wait for any specific amount of time before getting started with the process?

I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions, but these are the most important right now. Looking forward to hearing from the nice members of this community!

Hello, everyone

I am filing the n-400 online based on marriage to a U.S. citizen.

When populating fields regarding my spouse, there are none pertaining to employment.

However, when I go to the review the form, it reads "my spouse is currently unemployed".

When I check the PDF snapshot, employment of the U.S. citizen spouse seems to apply only if said spouse is working outside of the country, which is not my spouse's case.

I have attached a screenshot.

I wonder if this is a known bug? Is it ok to submit the application otherwise?

I am including tax transcripts, and bank statements, both of this show my spouse's income, which is evidence of employment if it even matters to USCIS for the purpose of naturalization.

I also have the green flat that reads "there are no issues with your application".

Should I just mail in the form and evidence, instead of doing it online?
