US Immigration from Iran

Hi everyone!

We are finishing up our DS-160 for our K1 visa and had a question about the employment and education history section.

When we were filling in "previous employment," we noticed that we made a couple minor errors for my fiancee's (beneficiary's) employment history on our original I-129F petition:

• Due to an error in converting between different date formats, we accidentally reported employment start date of "Janurary 10" as "October 1", etc.
• We listed occupation as "IT Engineer" when the proper title was actually something like "Software Analyst"

My understanding is that employment history is not really important at all for K1 visas, and this is all probably really inconsequential.

Is there any issue with just putting the correct info on the DS-160?--and only addressing the discrepancy if there is some question about it?

Hello,

My fiance's visa interview is in Abu Dhabi, UAE. We need to have a medical examination in New Medical Center Hospital. My question is: how long does it typically take for the results to be ready?

My fiance is flying from Iran and I'm flying from Texas to be with her so we don't want her to miss her visa interview because the medical exam results aren't ready. We waited almost 2 years for this and missing the interview date cannot be an option! How many days before the interview should we do the medical exam to be on the safe side?

Thanks!

As title states, looking for some reputable attorneys that handle AWA waivers. I am damn sure that I can get an exception for my case but don t want a bad attorney to mess it up. Google is not reliable and the ones that turn up don t have great reviews (misfiled things or are slow) and Avvo is hard to search for this specific thing.

Wondering if anyone can recommend some GOOD attorneys that have AWA experience

Hi everyone,

My fiancee is Iranian and, as there is no (active) U.S. Embassy/Consulate in Iran, we have to be processed through either:

• U.S. Embassy Ankara, Turkey,
• U.S. Consulate General Dubai, United Arab Emirates, or
• U.S. Embassy Yerevan, Armenia

On our I-129F, we wrote that we wanted to apply to Yerevan, Armenia.

We received our NOA2 December 1.

I sent an inquiry to NVC this past week and got our case number on Friday.

However, our case number starts with ABD and we are concerned this seems to indicate Abu Dhabi and not Yerevan. (?)

Are we interpreting the case number correctly? Does anyone have any experience with a situation like this, or any advice?

I sent another inquiry to NVC and am awaiting their response!

Thank you so much.

Hello,

I need help understanding my case plz

"The National Visa Center (NVC) received your immigrant visa petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on December 01, 2022. Your petition is now waiting for data entry into our systems." received this message on Dec 28 2022

"The National Visa Center (NVC) has received your petition and will send detailed instructions to the petitioner, principal applicant, and attorney of record (if applicable) soon." received this message on Jan 17 2023

since then I haven't heard anything and no welcome letter.

I tried my hand at NVC public inquiry and got this message back on Jan 19 2023

"You will be notified once this case is forwarded to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General."

is my time frame normal? am I panicking for no reason?
