US Immigration from South Africa

Filed I-130 online on 28th. Approval received on the 31st.

Anyone ever heard of a petition being approved this quickly?

I am US Citizen. Spouse is Ukrainian.

We live in Detroit and are planning to go to Windsor for the day.
Want to confirm LPRs do not need to apply for a visa. we can just enter with GC and passport.

Second question, if I don t stay overnight would I need to count this as time outside the US for my eventual N400 application?

Hi VJ fam,

I travel extensively for work and I'm finalizing my projects within this month as we are getting closer to K1 finalization. I'm at interview scheduling phase and a slot just opened up at the Johannesburg consulate that I desperately want to book (and probably will be doing so after I write this post - so I am mostly looking for confirmation lol).

My concern is that with work travel, I have to be available on short notice to travel to site and there is an off chance that I might need to reschedule my interview appointment - I know, I wish I didn't have prioritize work over being with my love (and waiting so long for this moment!), but sometimes this is unfortunately how the cookie crumbles, so please don't tell me "skip work, attend the interview".

My question is - can I book the interview slot and consequently book my medical exam and say for example I have to reschedule the interview - will I be ok to reschedule my interview but still attend my medical appointment? I know this is probably consulate-specific but if you've experienced something like this or just have some wisdom to share, please do!

Thank you!

Those who been DQ how long it takes after DQ to get an interview at the embassy in Johannsberg for CR1.

Hi there,

my medical was returned to me on k1 entry into the US, now for the AOS- what do I submit? the full original medical or just the copy of the vaccine record that was provided to me by the doctor when we completed the medical in our home country, I m trying to avoid doing another medical in the US as mine are still valid, Thanks
