Community SpotlightTourist 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!-

1 RepliesHello, I'm the derivative of an F4 visa applicant, my dad is the principal applicant and the priority date is 26 December 2007, place of birth is Iran. I'm protected by CSPA until I turn 27 (it took 6 years and a 1 month for I-130 to become approved) and I'm currently 21 years old. The case was DQed on CEAC last summer and I filled DS260 with my current passport information and uploaded my passport there as well. My passport will expire in February 2026 but since I'm moving to Italy and would like to have a further away expiration date I'm planning to renew it. This means I'll have a new passport number. I have asked NVC if I can send them the new passport after getting it but they said since the case is DQ they can't review any new documents. My vaccination records also have my current passport number on them. Will I have any problems when I eventually go to the embassy in the future considering my DS260 and vaccination card will have my previous passport? I can bring both the old and renewed passport

2 RepliesI've tried multiple times to email the embassy in Warsaw and ask a question the police certificate. I sent emails to support-Poland@ustraveldocs.com only to be met with entirely irrelevant responses, like they didn't even read my email!
One of the required documents is a police certificate, and the question I asked them is whether they require a certificate from ALL countries whether I've lived
over 6 months. The requirement usually seems to be 12 months at other embassies for past countries I've lived at and 6 months for my current country of residency.Here's a quote from their embassy's website: https://pl.usembassy.gov/visas/police-certificates/
Fiance visa applicants, in addition to supplying a police certificate from the present place of residence, must also present police certificates from any place or places of residence for 6 months or more since attaining the age of 16.
I'm a beneficiary of a K1 visa so I need to ask if this is true because this could require MONTHS of waiting for me to obtain the extra certificates, I can't afford to wait until NVC processes my case and sends it to Warsaw. What should I do? Keep emailing them? Do I email someone else to verify their current requirements?

1 RepliesHi there
So I'm adjusting my status from B1/B2 due to marriage to USC. My EAD got approved, I have SSN and EIN but I'm still waiting for I 485 decision (which means that according to USCIS I'm a non resident). I'm trying to monetize my youtube channel and I'm required to submit a W-9 or one of the W-8 forms. I'm completely confused about which form is the right form for me because I'm not a US person (which is required for W9) but I also don't reside in my country of origin (which is required for W8). Thanks in advance
