The F1 category allows for derivatives, so it really depends on the priority date of the daughter whether to switch from F2B to F1 relative to the current visa bulletin. Good Luck!

Since this is mostly related to the UK, I will post it here. The comments are interesting. The Iran War Reveals Who Is Living In A Fantasy World Here in the 21st century, the UK has pursued its net zero fantasy with a vengeance. Wind turbines and solar panels now cover the countryside. Many power plants that use coal or other fossil fuels have been closed. Perhaps most important, the UK has banned essentially all exploration for and development of fossil fuel energy within its own borders, including offshore in territorial waters. Although there are large shale-gas formations beneath the UK, the practice of “fracking” to exploit them has been subject to a moratorium since 2019, and the current Labour government has vowed to make that moratorium permanent. The current government has also not issued any new licenses for drilling for oil or gas in the North Sea, and says it will continue that policy, although a small amount of drilling continues under pre-existing licenses. The logic of these policies appears simple: carbon emissions damage the environment, and after all, we can get all the energy we need from the free and abundant wind and sun. Into this mix has dropped the Iran war, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Maybe things were not as simple as they had seemed. In the past few days, a serious shortage of aviation fuel has arisen in the UK. The shortage is not limited to the UK, but apparently is particularly acute in that country. From the Daily Mail today: [The] Iran war has continued to wreak havoc on the aviation industry, and the UK could soon be experiencing a jet fuel shortage. The last known shipment of jet fuel to Britain from the Middle East is expected to arrive within 48 hours amid alarm over shortages within a week. Data providers Kpler and Vortexa say the consignment on the Libyan-flagged Maetiga vessel is expected to reach the UK from Saudi Arabia on Thursday. The blockage of the Strait of Hormuz due to the ongoing conflict means no other cargoes heading to the UK from the region can be seen on the water, they added. https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2026-3-31-the-iran-war-reveals-who-is-living-in-a-fantasy-world

Lack of testosterone?

I agree with @milimelo, and to add since you are not entirely rushed, and you want the child to spend their first year or so in Vietnam, it would seem a spousal visa would be the better option. Regardless, it is you and your fiancé's choice. Good Luck!

Moved to the Military Immigration-Related Discussion forum.

Here is a fairly recent experience thread. You can also use the VJ search feature searching "DCF London" which may find you other recent stories. Additionally, I am going to move this thread to the Military forum as you have specific questions related to those in the military. Good Luck!

To my knowledge, the statistics here on VJ are based on the members that fill out their timelines. Unfortunately, not all members utilize that function, so the group that makes up the statistics can be small. That being said, it looks like USCIS's posted processing time estimate is about 10 months for an I129F, so you are still in the window and hopefully will see something soon. Good Luck! https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

I thought the Iranian regime already had some of those?

I agree with the other responses. There is no requirement to have a social media account (although keep in mind VJ is a social media site), and no requirement to share your life on social media. Good Luck!

Charles and TBone can decide if this deserves its own thread. Bondi is gone, finally! Pam Bondi already fired as attorney general, Cabinet official teed up as replacement: sources https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pam-bondi-already-fired-attorney-general-cabinet-official-teed-up-replacement-sources

Common sense returning? Maryland Supreme Court tosses Blue cities' climate lawsuits against energy companies (The Center Square) – The Maryland Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed three lawsuits filed by Democrat-run jurisdictions claiming oil and gas companies concealed information about their products’ contributions to climate change, leading to significant costs. In the 3-2 decision, Justice Brynja Booth wrote for the majority that the cities of Baltimore and Annapolis and Anne Arundel County improperly tried to use state and local nuisance laws to financially punish defendants such as BP, ExxonMobil and Chevron when climate change and its causes are an international issue that cross local, state and international borders. https://www.thecentersquare.com/maryland/article_f7a4f357-10dd-46ee-9971-ec415c18016b.html?utm_source=illinois.thecentersquare.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=rss_first_item_title

And they say they don't like the word "groomers".

I really did not need to see pictures. Was Noam’s husband a shop teacher in Canada?

Cluelessness? I think Iran threw those off roofs.

Taxes need to be raised on the middle class to make up for those that Hochul is begging to come back.

Hmm, I thought all the ICE agents are killers (Jefferies told us that as well as the unhinged leftist at the NK's rallies). ICE agent saves life of 'unresponsive' 1-year-old boy in JFK airport as panic ensues in TSA security line https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ice-agent-saves-life-of-unresponsive-1-year-old-boy-in-jfk-airport-as-panic-ensues-in-tsa-security-line/ar-AA1ZtGZe

If the date on the DS160 is a mistake, she can bring that up at her interview right at the beginning and make sure she has proof of the correct date if the CO requests to see it. You can file a new DS160 if you want, but not really necessary. Good Luck!

The “non-filing” letters from the IRS should be included, and she should provide whatever other evidence she has showing her income (1099-INT, etc.) as well as an explanation why she had no income for those years she was not required to file. I agree, this may be probed by an IO, so she should make sure she has her documentation/explanation complete. Good Luck!

Based on what I am seeing, the LPR cannot file an N400 under the 3 yr rule if the USC spouse dies either before filing or during processing. See link from NOLO. That being said, your friend should focus more on what happens to their husband, it is tough for them going through this at this time. If the outcome end up being negative, they can deal with the I751 and look at the N400 under the 5 year rule. Good Luck, and many thoughts and prayers for your friend and their spouse. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/my-us-citizen-wife-died-can-i-still-apply-naturalize-after-three-years.html

I seem to remember Democrats/leftist talking about how well educated their voters are, and yet apparently they are too stupid to find or obtain their own BC.

Hmm, I remember the chants “O bama! O bama! O bama!” Where were the NK groups then?

We want communism?

Well, sharks are becoming drug addicts, so what else is new? https://www.vice.com/en/article/sharks-in-the-bahamas-are-full-of-cocaine-caffeine-and-painkillers/

Taxi lobby. I always try and avoid the NYC area airports, but took a chance one time, had to fly into La Guardia as there were no open flights to JFK, then take a taxi the 7 or so miles to JFK to get on my international flight to Europe. Never again, NYC airports can be avoided.

Attempting to switch from an existing I130 to DCF could be very risky. As you mentioned, you would have to cancel the exiting I130 first, then hope the Consulate accepts a DCF filing. They may with your job repatriation requirements, but they will be able to see your I130 was recently canceled and may view it as an end-around attempt. It is entirely up to you, but you could contact the citizens services portion of the US Consulate and see what they say. You can also attempt an expedite through USCIS as a need to repatriate as a USC should at least be considered for an I130 expedite. Good Luck!
