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!-

2 RepliesHi all your advice is greatly appreciated on this. My spouse changed his job in the month of September after we got dqed. His current annual income information is almost same as of last i1864ez we filled out , we never had joint sponsor before and now with his new job too we dont need one.
So should we fill out a new i1864ez ? And bring that to interview along with paystubs from his current job ?

6 RepliesI'll be filing an i485 today and have some questions.
1) Should I put anything in the MEMO field of the personal check for the i485 check or the i765 check?
2) Is it a major disadvantage to not file the i693 now? I know they can ask for it later, but how much will that delay the whole process?
3) If I do an examination today to file the i693 with the rest, do the results of that evaluation expire? Someone told me they expire in 3 months and if my packet is still processing in 3 months (as I suspect it will be) I'd rather not have to pay for an entirely new examination.
4) Does it matter what order my pages are in? Right now my packet looks like:
- Form i-485 with a check for $1440 paper clipped to the front.- Paper clipped to the back of the i485 I have: US spouse's birth certificate, immigrant spouse's foreign birth certificate, 2x2 passport style photos of both spouses, copy of immigrant's passport, copy of stamps page of immigrant's passport, most recent I-94
- Form G-1145
- Form I-765 with a check for $260 paper clipped to the front.
- Form I-864
- Paper clipped to the back of I-864 I have: 2023 Federal tax return

1 RepliesWe received the NOA1 last evening july 19 for our I-129F via Mail. The check still hasn t gone through and we re wondering what happened. There are sufficient funds in the account and no issues with the check we sent. I m worrying if the check slipped out of our file during the sorting process. Anyone have this issue? They sent to us this notice of action * noa1* but the check still not cashed

3 RepliesFiled I-485 for my wife who came on K1 visa. After going through form I noticed I forgot to add her mom s maiden name under other names and only filled in her current legal name. Will not be petitioning for her Mom, just an oversight. Is this likely to be an RFE?
