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, I am new here. Thank you for allowing me to post. I want to ask those who have similar experience.
We submitted I-864 with I-485 but we got RFE because US citizen husband just came back to the US earlier this year. We both worked outside the United States fyi. USCIS said that based on the documents submitted, they could not determine that the petitioning sponsor is qualified.
Supporting Documents Submitted With I-864:
1) The past 3 years of 1040 Tax Return Filings
2) Employment Confirmation from Previous Employer (overseas) and Letter of Employment from Present Employer (USA)
3) Report of Investments (stocks) and annual dividends
His annual income does not meet 125 percent of the federal poverty guideline for our household size of 3 and USCIS told us to obtain a qualifying joint sponsor, but it is not that easy to get one. We are still trying. Right now, we want to use stocks (US-based) as assets to sponsor. What other documents do we still need to procure for him to qualify?
Hoping you can help us. Thank you very much.

2 RepliesI had my interview on the 20th of November and all was fine other than them requesting the original divorce paperwork for my wife, despite this not being listed on the checklist.
My wife posted them (for $70!) and I dropped them off at DX last Tuesday, I've contacted them today as the tracking number wasn't being recognised and they stated that the item is still where I left it and hasn't even been processed yet, this can apparently take 7 working days. Does anyone else have any experience with sending documents via DX? If so how long did it take for them to be delivered, and the how long was it for you to received your response/passport back from the Embassy?
Really hoping to be able to spend Christmas with my wife, but it's starting to look unlikely.
