US Immigration from Norway

So my norwegian passport expires in november 2025. My passport number is registered in my application, and I still have an active ESTA that is good until july this year. I will be visiting for 2 weeks in april, but the passport still has more than 6 months left at that time, so I assume that will be fine. My best bet is probably to get a new passport right as I get back, and luckily it will probably arrive pretty quickly after, I have had it in hand after a week previously.

Is changing the passport number at this point going to mess with my application or delay anything? The way I understand it I obviously have to bring it and leave it when I go to my interview in Stockholm, and then they put a physical thing in it to show my K1 visa, right?

I probably should have done this last year before I even applied for the visa, that was an oversight on my part.

Hi. Hopefully I put this in the right area of the forums.

I am moving to the USA on a K1 hopefully sometime later this year. My kids are about to get american passports and ssns beause their dad is an american and they will be dual citizens. We are moving together to live with my partner in the USA, and I just wanted to ask if anyone had any experience with what sort of documentation I should bring from their dad, showing that he consents to the move? How does it work with insurance and taxes over there? Their father is american, but he does not live in the US and has not for many many years, and I have full custody of the children. Would a translated version of our custody agreement and a signed consent letter be enough? He lives far away at the moment so getting things signed is kinda hard, but the kids are going to the american embassy in Norway this month to get their papers, so I have a chance to get him to sign stuff and would like to prepare for that as much as possible. Would I be better off paying for an online notary service for these things?

Thanks.

I know that it will take a few weeks or more for the papers to be sent to state and get the case number and all that, but is there a timeline for when you /should/ send in the DS-160 and schedule medical/interview? We seem to be closing in on them getting to the application (i know something might delay this, but all signs point to things happening within the next month or so). The reason I ask is that I have a trip coming up early in april, and I wonder if maybe I should wait to schedule things until after? Or maybe I am being silly, I dont know. I wish there was more data on how fast I will be able to get an interview in sweden, but there are not a lot of scandis on this site.

Hi everyone,

I m looking to hear from anyone who has attempted to expedite their I-130 petition for a spouse through a senator or congressperson. Were you successful in your request?

If you were, I d love to know how the process went did the senator or congressperson seem helpful? How long did it take to get an update, and what was the outcome?

For those who weren t successful, I d also appreciate hearing about your experience.

Did you feel like the senator s office provided support? Were there any specific hurdles you faced or things you wish you d done differently?

It s been hard to find real stories about this process, so any details you can share would be incredibly helpful.


Thank you!:)
