PSA: If entering the USA 2 years after marriage, kindly remind the immigration officer of this
spicynujac posted a topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures,
When we last entered the US, our immigration officer said "Oh, hmm I wonder if I could go ahead and change you an IR-1." The agent right next to him said "Yes, you can do that" and he acted surprised. His comments made it pretty clear he was going to erroneously issue us a CR-1 and he seemed to not even know he could change the visa status until his coworker advised him (THANK GOODNESS she overheard!). I don't know how onerous the process is to correct such an oversight but I'm glad we didn't have to find out!
Just wanted to pass this along in the hopes it saves someone from any problems with the wrong stamp being placed in the passport, as I've read about here before.... I would kindly remind the officer "We married >2 years ago. We can enter with an IR-1 visa now right?"-

Wrong USCIS application form filed by my lawyer!
narayan333 posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Hello, so my wife came in k-1 visa to USA and we got married and all. We filled for work permit and green card together but while doing that my lawyer filed for I-130 no idea why. Will that application make my process for work permit and green card slow? If so how do I withdrawal that application? My lawyer isn’t helpful at all. I need some help…-

Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?
PeachyTocker posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,
My gf and I live in Thailand but spend 2-4months in the US per year. Once/if we have children age 5+, the time split would become vice versa. We have no plans to live full-time in the United States in the next 5 years, but I visit my family and friends 2-3x per year for 2-3 weeks at a time. I would love it if she can join me for those trips and experience that part of my life. What options do we have -- US visa wise, maybe a tourist or fiance visa later? Other?

Please be nice, I know I made a mistake... But got my K1 approved and arrived in the US June 25, 2024 and applied for AOS February 25, 2025 -- then left the US (abandoned my AOS). Will I be banned for re-entry to the US -- even under a spouse visa?-

8 RepliesGood morning, I m trying to help my mother in law with her visa application. I want to make sure that I m correct. Once paying the fee for the application I schedule the interview and the fingerprints? She is insisting that she should do her fingerprints now even though the earliest interview date is for June 2026. She has been denied several times in the past when applying for the tourist visa and I m wondering if it s because she was getting her fingerprints done too far in advance. Any suggestions or advice?

10 RepliesHi All,
I am divorced paying child support for my daughter as wage garnishments. I have uploaded my pay stubs and state agency's portal details that I am paying child support regularly while filing for N400 online application. I have a couple of questions -
- Should I also attach the court order now using the unsolicited evidence link?
- For good moral character, has anyone uploaded any affidavit from neighbors or friends/family? If yes, is there a template someone could share that worked?

6 RepliesHello! So my wife and I have been in the approval process for so long that her passport was about to expire and we had to renew it. Since it is a different number from the one used on our removal of conditions packet, do I need to notify USCIS of the new passport? If so, how do I do that?
