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!-

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 RepliesBefore I got married and before I even met my husband, I obtained a whole life insurance policy. After our marriage, I updated the policy beneficiary to my husband and used the policy as evidence of our marriage for the CR1/IR1 visa process. Recently, I have conducted further research and determined that this policy is not a worthwhile investment. I am considering canceling it, but I am concerned about how this might impact my husband's visa process. Does he need this life insurance document for the NVC stage?

After AP, my Jamaican fiance's passport was returned and the embassy requested to file a waiver and court documents.
He has a 10-year-old larceny in Mandeville.
Has anyone completed a waiver? Are there reliable resources on waivers?
Does anyone know the process for requesting court documents in Mandeville Jamaica? Does it cost anything?
Any information will be appreciated.
Thank you.
NVC Termination Letter 4:52 pm today

2 RepliesMy moms green card was approved a couple years ago, but we received a letter in the mail now stating that her NV case was terminated. This was part of a huge mess USCIS has made which required us to reach out to our congressmen to get her green card approved. I was told back then to disregard the whole NVC processing since she was going through adjustment of status in the country. Can this letter affect anything with her green card? Anyone had similar problem that can advise?
We refer to your application for an immigrant visa. Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires that your registration be canceled and any petition approved on your behalf cancelled, if you donot apply for your immigrant visa within one year of being advised to do so.
Your were advised of this requirement on March 16, 2023, but we have not received a response from you since then. As a result, your are hereby notified that your application for a visa has been cancelled and any petition approved on your behalf has also been canceled.
Your application may be reinstated and any petition revalidated, if within one year, you can establish that your failure to pursue your immigration visa application was due to circumstances beyond your control.
