Hello,

In 2021, I stayed in the US for 4 months during an exchange semester on a J1 visa. Now I am wondering if that counts as "residing" and if I should add it to my address history in the K1 Visa petition? I lived at the university college dorm and it was only for one semester (Fall 2021, August-December).

Thank you!

Hello,

In the K-1 Visa Petition, I need to list all the addresses where I have lived in the past five years. My primary address (my parents' home) has never changed since my birth. However, I have also lived at two different "secondary" addresses while attending university in different cities.

Should I list these university addresses as previous residences, even though I am currently still living at one of them? I want to use my primary address as my current address since I spend most of my time there, while my university apartment is just temporary and a "secondary" home.

Would this be confusing? Has anyone had the same issue? And how did you deal with it?

Thank you!

If someone could please update the information here.

it still says that the I-765 and the I-131 are included in the price of the I-485 if filing together.

I-765 should be $260 if filing with I-485

I-131 should be $630 if filing with I-485

Hi everyone! I really hope you can support me with your knowledge!
I had my medical on 6/17/2024, entered the us on 8/6/2024 and we got married 9/27/2024. The PD on our AOS packet is 10/23/2024. So as you can see we were pretty fast (I don't want to brag it's just important that I give you my timeline for the question). Now with my interview for 4/15/2024 they say they want to see a medical if required.
"If required, a completed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, and/or vaccination supplement in a sealed envelope (unless already submitted). Please see the Form I-693 Instructions for guidance on whether you need a complete medical examination, an updated vaccine supplement only, or neither."

My question now: we send the form 3025 with the AOS packet and we send a letter that I won't have to do another one since this is what the rules say. But my medical "expired" on 9/30/2024. Now I'm very worried that I have to do a whole medical again or I do something wrong.

Please advise me here thanks in advance

Hello everyone!
I am currently writing my Master's thesis at a Germany university and have miraculously found a great case study in the US, in the city my US partner lives in. Therefore, I am planning on traveling to the US late April - early July (10 weeks, 72 days total) to 1. conduct research (qualitative interviews) and work on my thesis, and 2. to see my US partner of while doing that. I am enrolled at uni, have a part time job in Germany that let's me take time off for the 72 days visit due to overtime hours and vacation time, and have my own apartment in Germany.
My partner and I have two invitations to family celebrations in October that we would both like to attend in the US. That would be a 2 weeks trip. After reading a lot about denied entries on ESTA in the news lately, I am very worried that I may get denied entry if I would travel to the US again in October after such an extended trip. I am enrolled at uni, have a part time job in Germany that let's me take time off for the 72 days visit due to overtime hours and vacation time, and have my own apartment in Germany.
We are not planning on living in the US together, the long term plan is that he will migrate to Germany.
Do you all think that I should shorten this upcoming trip to 8 weeks or less if I would like to visit again in October for 2 weeks?
Thank you very much in advance!!

My past travel history to the US:
- Was an exchange student during my Bachelor's degree several years ago
- Visited multiple times for 2-4 weeks before COVID
- Visited last year in June for 3 weeks
