Hello, so my wife came in k-1 visa to USA and we got married and all. We filled for work permit and green card together but while doing that my lawyer filed for I-130 no idea why.

Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?
PeachyTocker posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,
My gf and I live in Thailand but spend 2-4months in the US per year. Once/if we have children age 5+, the time split would become vice versa. We have no plans to live full-time in the United States in the next 5 years, but I visit my family and friends 2-3x per year for 2-3 weeks at a time. I would love it if she can join me for those trips and experience that part of my life. What options do we have -- US visa wise, maybe a tourist or fiance visa later? Other?

2 RepliesHi everyone,
My wife is a US citizen and plans to sponsor her sister to America. As we were filling out form I-130, we came to the section where we are asked to upload evidence of the end of prior marriage and also end of your spouse's prior marriage. My question is as follows;
1/ Do the evidences they asked to upload apply to petitioner or beneficiary (my sister)? She's been divorced once and is currently single. I am also divorced once. Do I upload my divorce documents as well as my sister's divorce documents? My current spouse was also divorced once. Do I upload his divorce documents as well?
2/ Also if I submit proof of sibling relationship by using my birth certificate along with my sister's birth certificate which show the names of both of our parents on our birth certificate documents, will I need to submit secondary evidence such as school record, census record, written statement, or DNA test results?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

May 30, Embassy received passport (via LBC).
Medical Expiration is August 22, 2025.
To date, I have been checking IR5 Status and website says:
We are getting worried as the Medical expiration is coming up quick (Aug 22).
What should we do and any insights?

3 RepliesHi!
Context: I filed for extension two days before the tax deadline of April 15, 2025. I was able to file my taxes with a CPA after the deadline, but since we're filing jointly and my wife is applying for an ITIN, and the ITIN won't be fully processed until many weeks from now....
Question: Should I still report that I filed for extension to the NVC?

1 RepliesCR1 FILED AOS FORMS. It Seems they mail the notice with interview date, but we never received the letter, and it was not returned to them either. They assumed the case was abandoned. We just received the notice that both cases were denied we cannot appeal just try to reopen or start from scratch. Has anyone experience this ?? do you file one I290B or two??
Thank you.
