DV 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 RepliesMy stepson, 15 years old, immigrated to the US this year and holds an IR-2 visa currently in the form of a passport stamp with a temporary I-551 for 1 year. My wife is the biological mother and is a permanent resident and I am a US citizen, born in the US and the petitioner for both of their cases. We just received an ASC Appointment Notice to do his biometrics for his permanent resident card, however, we were under the impression that since he arrived to the US before turning 18, he would be eligible for citizenship.
Our questions are as follows:
- Is my stepson eligible for citizenship?
- If no, do I need to officially adopt him?
- What are the steps to getting him citizenship?

1 RepliesI'm retired military and haven't filed taxes since I retired, as my retirement is non-taxable from the VA. Wife has a GC and now wants to become a citizen. Will there be a problem since we haven't filed taxes? Should I request the non filing documents from the IRS?
It's a sticky situation as we are FULLY retired. Thanks in advance!

3 RepliesHey there,
In 2015 my partner and I received a 10 year Green Card ( his "extraordinary ability" )
In 2017 my father got cancer and we went overseas to help him.
We applied for a reentry permit and were overseas for 2 years ( without coming back to the US )
We came back just before the permit expired and were sent to secondary
The agents gave us a really hard time because of all the time overseas, and told us that we are going to have problems renewing our GC and with citizenship.
Now it is been 5 years since we got back from that 2-year trip and we are not sure if we should or not apply for citizenship.
We have only been outside of the US on 2-3 week trips every year since.
my husband is scared that if we apply for citizenship it is gonna draw attention to our long trip in 2017, and we don't know what to do.
What do you guys suggest? thanks
