    DV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?
    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
    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?
    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!

    Can you put N/A in signature boxes that don’t apply to you or should you leave them blank?

    Hello there,

    my fianc and I recently submitted our form I-129f on April 5th however our form got rejected due to a problem with the preparers signature page. As we had filled out this form ourselves with no outside help, we put N/A in the signature boxes that didn t apply to us. Was this the right thing to do? They also left a very orange Missing page sheet in front of the signature boxes page at the end of the form as we have no missing pages I am assuming they had a problem with us putting N/A in the signature boxes that didn t apply to us. Can anyone please confirm?

    the only other thing we can think of is we used a parents check, would they have seen this and assumed a parent or legal guardian filled out the form rather than ourselves?

    many thanks for taking the time to read this post,

    I look forward to working this out,

    JD230

    If a minor (under 10) was tried to be brought into the U.S. illegally by an adult, then caught and turned around, will he, now as an adult, be ineligible to apply legally for a visa? Or will that prior incident be held against the person in consideration of Visa grant?

    Thanks!

    Redid DS 160, Heading to Interview

    My fianc first filled out his DS 160 form, paid for and scheduled his interview with that confirmation number. However he made a mistake, misunderstood a couple questions and answered incorrectly, resubmitted the form with the correct info, and then added that confirmation number to his interview profile thing. It s now grayed out, and we know that he has only one opportunity to make changes.

    Question 1: Does this mean that the new confirmation number is now attached to the interview appointment?

    Question(s) 2: We know he s expected to bring both confirmation pages, but for those who ve resubmitted the DS 160, does anyone check the original confirmation DS 160? When he arrives at reception, should he present the original at all, or just the updated one?

    Question 3: Will the interviewer ask about resubmitting the DS 160?

    Hey everyone. I (US Citizen) am applying for a green card for my mom (living in India with my brother). The guy who is helping my brother apply for a tourist visa is telling us that a green card for my mom will be denied unless she has a current visa and has visited the US, 2 or 3 times and urging my brother to apply for a visa for her first. I am not seeing anyting like this in the USCIS website. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Hey guys, l'm an IR2 visa applicant. I had my interview on 16th February 2024 and the officer congratulated me but he said he would need my UK Police Certificate (as i have been residing in the UK for 2 years) He kept my passport. I did not have my police certificate at the time of the interview but I sent it on 19th March 2024 as soon as I got it. The case updated two times after I sent it via courier (28th March) (4th April). Any idea how much more I will have to wait?

      Hello Leslie,
       
      I was looking at your timeline and saw you sent in form I29F after filing the i130. It seems that everything went so quick for your process. Do you think sending in the i29F is worth it and might speed up the i130? 
      What steps can you suggest ?
       
      Thank you!

      Hey Shawnk, I am in a similar situation as you with my timelines. Someone recommended the same process as you mentioned to get a dual working visa. Do you have more detail on what dual intent working visa entails? What do i need to prove to get one.
       
      Thanks!!
