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

    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

    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!

    I go to court next month for another hearing... The judge previously said the "Plaintiff was financially obligated to support [my ex] while she resided in the United States." What does that mean?

     Tourist visa cancelled by CBP agent. Can we still get a CR1 or K1 Visa?

    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!

    DX Delivery - London Embassy

    UK to MN

    I 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.

    Job titles (trying to avoid administrative processing)

    Hello, my husband (US citizen) and I are going through the CR-1 process and have already submitted our petition. It was filed by a legal representative who didn't know much about the risks of administrative processing. My husband worked as a DevOps Engineer and an Architecture Analyst, and these are the titles the lawyer put in our I-130 form in my husband's employment history.

    In order to avoid administrative processing, I would like to report typographical errors and change his job titles. My questions are, a) is this safe? b) which titles shall we use instead?

    Thank you in advance for your help!!!

    How to get NBI "travel US" or "travel abroad?"

    Hello VJ!

    Does anyone know the current process to get an NBI clearance for travel to the US? Is this something that you're supposed to make a regular multi-purpose appointment for and then ask for verbally for travel to US purposes?

    On the NBI website we don't see this an an option, no matter what we select the receipt says "multi-purpose." My wife's parents already have the multi-purpose one, so we're trying to get another more recent one with the correct verbiage/color or whatever is needed.

    I keep finding conflicting information.

    Thank you!

      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

      Did the consulate reactivate your case for the doctor's office to upload the medical? I am in the same boat now.  Wondering how long it takes them.

      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.
