US Immigration from Algeria

Hi,
Just need some guidance or any relevant info on the right process to adjust status when you are on a pending asylum application. I got married recently, my wife has a pending asylum application , I am US citizen and we want to file to AOS.
Any advise, if we file when do we need to withdraw her Asylum application? does withdrawing Asylum application affect the AOS application?

Will appreciate any advice or referral to previous topics or cases.
Thank you

Hi everyone,

I m a foreign spouse married to a U.S. citizen. We already filed the I-130 and are now planning to apply for the K-3 visa while waiting for the CR1 process.

My husband, the petitioner, has a criminal record from over 30 years ago. It was a sexual offense he committed as a young boy . He served about 2 years in prison and has never reoffended since. He completely changed his life, has been working steadily, and is a responsible person.

I m really worried this record might affect our visa process whether CR1 or K-3. We want to be honest, but I m scared it could cause denial or long delays.

Has anyone had a similar experience where the U.S. petitioner had an old criminal record, especially involving a sex offense? Were you still approved? What kind of evidence or documents helped?

I would be so grateful for any advice or support. Thank you!

Hi, I checked I-129F WAC numbers around mine. All of them are adjudicated but mine is not. How can I find out what's going on?

I apply 2021 K1 visa It was rejected, It was rejected, as the consul asked me why I did not marry her, 2023 I married her and applied for a marriage visa, in 2024 November 11 was my interview date, the consul focused on how to get to know each other and I told the truth and the same answer k1 , I think the age difference is the reason, because there are 28 years between us. After the interview, the consul gave me a blank paper with an administrative procedure, and until now my case is still rejected. Is it possible to negotiate?

He asked me:

How did you know her?

How many times have you met?

Where did you get married?

How did her children and your family react?

Do you have mutual friends on Facebook?

what do you do, where do you live

What is Similarities and differences between you ?

Why did the consul refuse your engagement visa?

How old are you How old are you and how old is your wife?

How old is her daughter? Is she engaged?

How old are her children?

Do you have a problem having children?

Finally he asked me about the conversations and I gave them to him and then I thanked him and left.

So me and my fiancee met online september 2023, we became official on january 2024 and met for the first time in Algiers september 2024 only for a week. I am from Algeria and he s moroccan who was born in the US, spent his first 18 years in Morocco then went back to the US, which means that we speak the same dialect (darija) and have the same culture and religion. Also we are both 23 years old. When he visited me in Algeria he got to meet my family (mother, sister and cousins), our families spoke on a videocall right when he went back home from his visit to talk about how to meet to officialize the engagment in a traditional way which is not gonna happen until february 2025. We have no evidence of engagment (no engagment ring, proposal or engagment party) yet, however we have plenty of pictures together and pictures of our parents facetiming each other. He doesn t have any financial problems or criminal record (me neither). Is this good enough or would we need more proof ?
