Community SpotlightDV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?
Petrisaint Mpaka posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,
I applied for the DV lottery 2025 and hope to be selected this year. My fiancé and I discovered that there is a fiancé visa for the USA. Do you think if we apply for the K1 visa but are selected for the DV lottery that we can stop the fiancé visa process? What are the timelines and options here :)?-

Confused about steps after marriage
SP1988 posted a topic in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas,
My fiancee arrived last month on K1 fiance visa and we got married yesterday. It seems from what I have seen online that I made a mistake by not getting SSN prior to marriage? I am going to the SSN office on Monday to gather more information... also worried about employment authorization and travel authorization(s). Thanks for any insights!-

Tourist visa cancelled by CBP agent. Can we still get a CR1 or K1 Visa?
yotajeeper posted a topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration,
Upon my gf's most recent arrival, her tourist visa was cancelled at the airport due to her frequent visits last year and suspicion of working here. She was denied entry and sent back same day. Is a CR1 or K1 visa process an option still? I would appreciate any advice or tips you can provide!-

2 RepliesHello -
I am new here. I am a divorcee and my second marriage happened couple of months ago. Wife lives in India with her children. I have children from my first marriage as well.
After marriage, I had to return back to the US to join work. I am in the process of applying I-130 for my wife and the children. I would appreciate any of you could give me some tips before submitting the application. In addition, I have these questions:
- Do I need to fill one I-130 application for my wife and her children, or separate applications for each?
- Given the choice of adjustment of status or counselor processing, which one you suggest to choose?
- Is cover letter necessary? Any template for the same?
Thank you

3 RepliesMy fianc is coming to the U.S. with K1 Visa. I m moving to other states. The address that she was going to stay with me will be different from ones on the document in the sealed K1 visa package envelope. The arrival Airport for POE will be far away from the original address. Can she just tell her updated address at POE, or she will need to show a proof of address change? I m afraid of getting her in a big trouble at POE. I hope someone will be able to answer this question. Thank you
How to find expected wait times for interview appointment after Documentarily Qualified? Warsaw 12:01 pm today

4 RepliesI've applied for my parents, IR5. Warsaw. Got Documentarily Qualified on March 1.
When should we expect to hear back with the date?
Are there any case databases where I can see examples of recent timelines? There are supposed to be some.
I checked the pinned "wait threads" and unfortunately there is only IR1 for Warsaw and that thread is dead.
