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 RepliesHey guys, i have a question:
my wife is a greencard holder and she is filing a re-entry permit to protect her greencard because she has a phd to finish outside USA. As im her husband she wants also to file a spouse visa to get also greencard later. Can she file for a re-entry permit and also a spouse visa at the same time for the reason to not waste our time waiting for my documents to finish once my files are accepted by USCIS ?

5 RepliesI received a letter from the US embassy in Nairobi to complete ds160, affidavit of support forms & pay for the interview.
I have completed the ds160 and Affidavit of support forms but i'm having trouble paying for the interview.
When i created my account on https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke/iv , and clicked "PAY VISA FEE", i have no option to do so.
It only shows me the amount and not the bank account number and where to deposit the money.
Do i first have to wait for an appointment slot to open to pay for the interview?

2 RepliesHello, I got this message from NVC:
"Please Submit Every 2023 1099 Form and W-2 Form for Petitioner"
Here's the problem, I submitted Tax Returns, they got reviewed, then I got RFE before for 1099 Form, W-2 Form, and Schedule.
I submitted all separately and Schedule was accepted, but 1099 Form and W-2 Form was rejected with the reasoning "Please Submit Every 2023 1099 Form and W-2 Form for Petitioner"
I am not familiar with U.S. Tax Documents so I submitted everything my Petitioner sent and thought was appropriate.
Could anyone kindly send examples of these documents and how long they are (pages) because a lot of time is being wasted in this back and forth and even my Petitioner is confused about the documents required.
