Hi all, I am a K1 applicant filling out DS-160. I used to be a permanent resident of a country however after I left and was out of the country for a number of days I lost this.

I understand the question relating to whether I am CURRENTLY a permanent resident of another country should be answered NO, is this correct? I am

worried because the perm residency stamp in my passport has no expiration date and I do not want them to think I am not telling the truth.

Im obviously listing the country in the section about living in another place for more than 6 months.

any ideas on how to go about this?

Hey guys need some advice because I feel like I failed so much so I am not sure if things will be ok or if there's anything more to do.

On Tuesday I got a notice from USPS that a letter from immigration arrived. When I went to pick up the letters it seems I somehow manage to lose the envelope with the letter (It's even more sad because I remember basically having my eyes on it and then left for a bit to got to the bathroom then bam gone and now I start to feel like I lost it during my walk back from the mailbox) in it before I had a chance to look at it. Talking with an agent in USCIS through Emma they told me that there is a biometrics appointment for 2/2/22 (Which the case status hasn't updated for) and after a short discussion they sent me a pdf file at my email which is the ASC notice.

I wanted to ask if there's anything else I can do at this point, is it even worth trying to get them to resend the actual paper or just the printed pdf will do?

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Thank you all.

I just noticed that on our CR-1 my husbands name is missing on the page where it asks for the names of who got married. Also the area he had to complete his info in his native language is missing. Which makes me feel this electronic version on my USCIS account isn t showing our petition exactly how we submitted. The reason I think this is because I completed the visa and I remember specifically my husband doing the native language part. Then he went over the petition to make sure there were not any errors. He s very meticulous so I know he would have noticed. How can I fix this?

Hi everyone, I'm new here to Visa Journey. I would like to ask for help in determining if my wife has a case in Deriving citizenship based on the requirements when having a USC Mother and Alien Father at birth in wedlock.

The USC Mother at birth satisfies the first requirement

But I am concerned about the residency requirement specifically.

Reference:

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h-chapter-3#footnote-3

https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1401&num=0&edition=prelim

Specifically, this provision in INA 301 (g):

Quote

... or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person (A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, .... may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph.

Wife was born 1992 born in Philippines

USC Mother of Wife was born 1973 in Rhode Island, USA

USC Mother of Wife lived in the USA from 1973 to 1977 then flew to the Philippines and stayed there until 1992 when wife was born.

This would mean that she had only 4 years in the USA as physical presence, and 0 years beyond 14 years of age (the requirement of residency is 5 years, 2 of which is after 14 years of age)

But while USC Mother of wife was living in the Philippines, she was living with her father (wife's grandfather) who was a USC in Active Service with the US Navy from 1970 - 1996 while in the Philippines.

That would mean that from 1973-1992, USC Mother of Wife fits into this provision

"physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person (A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States"

-- Am I correct??

If that the case, would USC Mom of Wife living with the USC Navy Father (wife's grandfather) satisfy the residency requirement for my wife's mother?

Do we have a case?

Thank you all!

Has anyone done a medical before and did not have any immunization record to bring with them? If so, what happened? I am going to have my medical soon and I do not have any immunization record to bring (except my COVID vaccine card). The US Dept of State website have this statement (below), so I am assuming it's ok to show up to the medical without the immunization record. However, I still wanted to come here and ask if anyone has experienced this. Thank you all.

"Visa applicants should consult with their regular health care provider to obtain a copy of their immunization record, if one is available. If you do not have a vaccination record, the panel physician will work with you to determine which vaccinations you may need to meet the requirement."
