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 RepliesHello guys, I have a question, I have been a member of this page since 2017, due to people suggestions and support I was able to get my visa back in 2019 and currently as we speak am a proud united state citizen, but my question is, my girlfriend is currently pregnant and I would like to invite my sister on B2 to come help take care of the baby/babysit as we both work. What are my chances of getting her over here from Africa, any suggestions help.

14 Repliesmy wife came into the country 8 years ago on a k1 visa. we were married and she removed her conditions. She is a current green card holder. she now wants to apply for her citizenship and it appears she qualifies to file for it by either the general provision status or the married to a citizen status. Is this correct? and is one cheaper, faster, or has less paperwork than the other. if one is just more paperwork, I don't think that will be the deciding factor because that is the one I have already prepared. hahaha. is one more proper than the other or does it not make any difference at this 8-year mark of co-habitation with the married-to-us citizen status. thanks in advance

2 RepliesHello everyone I'm not sure if this is the right category but here we go...
Me and my husband got married in September, and now I am thinking of getting our marriage acknowledged in my home country. I am from Germany, and if someone here is from Germany as well and got through the procedure (which seems very complicated), I would love to know what exactly I would have to do since I am not registered anymore in my hometown.
Thank you in advance!
