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 came to the U.S. recently on a K-1 visa, got married and now live with my U.S. citizen wife, our child and my wife's mother in one household (they have lived together for several years before I moved here). I'm preparing the documents for AOS at the moment.
My wife and her mother make 34k each; 68k combined per year. 125% requirement for a 4 person household is 39k.
If I understand it correctly, then my wife fills out I-864 and her mother fills out I-864A and their incomes can be combined.
Please let me know if I am correct on this.
Thanks in advance for any help.

1 RepliesHi, I filed for my mother and received receipt notices last week. I noticed that on I-797C for I-130 under beneficiary details her middle name is missing. On her I-797 for 485/131/765 the middle name initials is printed as "L."
Anyone else noticed similar thing on their NOA1? Is this expected?

9 RepliesHello, I had submitted an adjustment of status packet for my parents and it was returned. Reason stated signature and missing page. But looks like the page is there they just moved it to the back because the signature was typed written instead of cursive. But they opened the medical exam i693. And marked a line through the barcode at the bottom of the whole package. And there a plain green page that says if you resubmit the application put this page on top. Do I just change out the signature page and send everything as is with the line stricken through the bar code? Also okay to send the open medical exam? I m in crunch for time.
