    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 Welfare impact my chances of immigration?

    Hey there, I am 23 and currently live in Canada. My partner is the American fianc , he makes well over the federal poverty requirement needed to sponsor me. I am thinking of applying for welfare as I moved to a small town with my family and it's been very hard to find a job, so I wanted to apply for Welfare while I job search just to pay for food and bills. I just don't want it to impact my chances of immigration, I have 5 years of work experience and I've never had an issue getting a job anywhere else I've lived.

    Thank you so much in advance for any replies!

    Hi my smart Visa Journey friends, My husband and I are both US citizens and recently learned that my husband originally from (Uganda) has a 12 year old. We learned about his birth and have confirmed with a DNA test of his son a year after his US Citizenship was finalized, so he has not been mentioned in any of our previous USCIS paperwork. We are currently working on filing out the I-130 in hopes of bringing him to the US to live with us and are not sure best how to address this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Wife's H4 was send in Administrative processing after being told at the interview that visa is approved

    Visa Officer told my wife that visa is approved on the 13th of May. We didn't get the passport for 10 days and I emailed them. They told me that our case is in administrative processing(last Friday 24th of May). However, the CEAC website still shows that the visa is approved. I am not sure what it means.
    1. How is Administrative processing taking in Pakistan, specifically Karachi
    2. Will the Embassy ask us for more information or we supposed to contact them on our own
    3. Should I contact the Embassy regularly or not?
    If anyone else is in the same boat, please reach out to me

    Missing I-94

    Fianc arrived on 2/19/24. We got married and about to file I-485 and require the I-94.

    I looked it up and the most recent I-94 was not found. With her former passport, I can see her I-94 from 2020 and from her first passport, I can see her I-94 from 2022. This was bizarre to us.

    I called the CBP and they told me to email them with all the information required. It's been six weeks with no response. I'm completely at a lost now on what to do.

    I'm even okay to visit the airport at this point and get this solved directly if required.

    Anyone deal with a similar situation and any recommendations on how to solve this conundrum?

      WHAT TO DO .
      Our case was created on May 8 and now showing up as “ready” at the Taiwan consulate since May 23.
      The correct embassy is TIA instead of TAI (Tirana instead of Taiwan).
      What are we supposed to do?!!!!
      Many thanks!
      And good luck to everyone on their journy  to be together with their loved ones 🙏

      @SDNOMADCan you please help me- I saw one of your threads and you had the same issue-
       
      When I got DQ I had a joint sponsor "Ahmed" but Ahmed is now refusing to provide updated I-864 and Tax docs- I will now use my wife I-864 and tax docs and since her income is low will supplement my mother in law as Household member I-864A with tax Docs
      My question is that how will I make these changes in ceac once I get my IL- will I remove the Joint sponsor and add household member or I would simply add the house hold member and leave Joint sponsor as is and tell the CO in interview about the change- Also- Would I also type in an application to CO in a word doc telling him about his change?
       
      Can you please guide me on how to approach this situation? Thanks a lot
