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

    Joint sponsor's birth certificate doesn't match

    Hi,

    For my I-485, we're submitting my joint sponsor's birth certificate as proof of their citizenship. The issue is the last-name on the certificate doesn't match their current one due to marriage, and I wanted to get some thoughts on if their marriage certificates were sufficient to demonstrate they're the same person?

    They've been married twice and both times have taken their spouse's last name (even keeping it after their first divorce until second marriage) so I was thinking of providing:

    - Their birth certificate (with birth name of course)

    - Their first marriage certificate (showing their birth name marrying someone with the last name that they'll have on their second marriage certificate)

    - Their second marriage certificate (showing them with their former spouses last name marrying someone with the last name that they have now)

    Do you think I also need to provide any sort of actual name change documentation, or divorce decree from their first marriage, or would these two marriage certificates suffice?

    Thanks

    (P.S I know I'm probably over-thinking this, but this is in a response to an RFE as I didn't provide their proof of citizenship initially so I want to be absolutely certain)

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering what should I answer in Form I-485 Part 2

    2. Are you applying for adjustment based on the

    Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 245(i)? YES or NO?

    and what does it mean by Supplement A? Does it mean I need to file Supplement A too?

      Can anyone helps me plz?
      I came with K1 visa and entered the US then
      I applied for my adjustment of status forms and got a new receipt number and online account number in the mail. 
      I created an online account number 2 years ago on USCIS when I was tracking my case before coming to the US.
      My question is: Can I add a new case on my USCIS existing account that had been created 2 years ago with the new receipt number to track my current case and waiting for getting my green card? 
      thank you

      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.
