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!-

3 RepliesNot really sure how this website, but I was wondering what would the best way to avoid denial be? Please try to be understanding, my fiance was 15 when we first started dating and I was 19 about to turn 20 but now she's legal, she's 18 at the moment and will turn 19 in a few months. What can I do to avoid denial for the k1 visa as she's the petitioner? I love her with all my heart and I just want to be with her in the US asap, fees are not an issue. Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated
N-400 Citizenship birth mom question 10:56 am today

3 RepliesMorning,
Need some advice. My wife got her green card in 2014. We have removed conditions. I am working on her N-400 app. Question regarding if her mom became a citizen before my wife was 18. How important is this ? My mother in law is a citizen and she thinks it was about 2000 which is when my wife would have been 18 or within that year. My mother in law is not sure. They were not living together. My mother in law moved to washington state while my wife stayed in home country. Do we have to go to the naturalization archives to find the info ? We are just doing the general 5 yr.
Thanks much for your advice
Much appreciated love this forum
Regards,
Jack

Supporting evidence for AOS following K1 marriage? 10:08 am today
smilingstone
Read 75 Times
8 RepliesHi all,
Hoping you can advise here.
I entered the US on my K1 last week and we'll be planning to get married over the next few weeks. Throughout the whole K1 process I had in my head that we will need further supporting evidence of our relationship/marriage for the AOS process, such as co-mingling finances, opening joint accounts, health insurance, etc. However, now that I'm revisiting guidance on our next steps, there isn't any mention of this.
I am wondering if I misread something early on and it just stuck in my mind, and that we actually don't need to provide anything like this. VJs AOS guide doesn't make any mention of it, and nor does any other immigration-based sites. Is this something needed for the potential interview (from what I understand not all people get called for AOS interview)?
Can anyone confirm or clarify what we need? A run down of the docs you provided, when filing and/or for interview, would be really helpful.
Thank you
