US Immigration from Philippines

Would like to update my profile now that NVC has assigned a case number. But I don't know the date NVC Received my info, only the date case # was communicated to me. Is "NVC Receive" checklist item the date I receive case number?

DHS is proposing a regulation that would rescind the public charge rule that has been in effect for adjustment of status applications since December 2022 and replace it with policy guidance and interpretative tools rather than a new regulation.

If the current public charge rule is rescinded, DHS plans to implement a significantly expanded public charge policy that would lower the threshold for being deemed likely to depend on the government and expand the types of benefits and factors under consideration in a public charge analysis.

Hi VJ,

I'm curious, when my AOS 2yrs GC was approve and my SSN it was under my maiden name, now my ROC filed under married name would they change my SSN also or I will be using the same SSN from my AOS?

Thanks.

Hello VisaJourney Team,

I recently joined your community and am looking for guidance regarding my fianc s K-1 visa process. My USC fianc has a criminal history dating from 1996 to 2020, but there are no recent or pending cases. I would like advice on:

1. How to properly prepare the K-1 visa packet considering this history.

2. How to obtain official records of his past criminal history for submission.

3. If there are any sample K-1 petition packets or templates shared by members that I could reference to understand how they filed successfully.

Because I'll be the one who will do the documentation on his behalf. And I am fully aware of the other documents needed, I just need to know when regard to his Criminal History to avoid RFE. I'm kind of skeptical, tho I have started to gather all our information to compile some of our requirements needed.

Any guidance or resources you can provide on these topics would be greatly appreciated.

I want to share his Criminal History here, but I doubt if it's a good idea. coz I know there were some really serious cases. What do you think?

Thank you very much for your time and help!
