Hi everyone,

I just checked MyUscis and found and RFE in my account for my I-485 petition to AOS from a K1 visa. Unfortunately, I caught it quite late, and their deadline is in 2 weeks.

This is the word for word in the RFE: Submit a copy of the marriage certificate between the K-1 applicant, *ME*, and the I-129F petitioner, showing the date of the marriage within 90 days of the K-1 s arrival into the United States.

Does a copy mean I can upload it digitally? I also have an extra certified copy that I could send via regular mail, but I am worried about it being processed in time in that case. Does anyone have experience with this specific RFE?

Hi Everyone,

I submitted my i751 application with divorce waiver about 2.5 years ago as I was divorced at the time.
I am getting re-married (to a different person) and would like to change my last name.

How do I do this?

Has this affected anyone in the past?
Thanks!

Yesterday was my interview of F4 with my family the officer said your case is approved and gave us a congratulations letter but after next day case status says refuse.. no additional documentation or 221 g was given to us so why they refused

Hi,

My husband has an ACRO which states 'no live trace', on the Esta form where it says about convictions, do I say yes or no? As it says no live trace I confused which one to answer! Also if I answer yes will I then need to upload the ACRO?

Thanks for your help,

Kathryn

Greetings, I am having trouble finding digesting the information I need regarding the spousal visa process. If anyone can help I'll be thankful. I have the questions organized below. U.S. Citizen, not married to partner who is a Philippines citizen, we have an infant now. May have to return to U.S. for work and won't have much notice when I'm hired.

1) Given time constraints and avoiding other red tape we may need to do the online marriage approach via Utah. I understand this is not a problem now in the Philippines.

2) For the spousal visa, are interviews in Cebu or only in Manila. Manila is difficult for several reasons.

3) what is the timeframe now for getting the appointment?

4) Is the Direct Consular Filing an option in Cebu or Manila? If the normal process is started now can it be changed to DCF if necessary or is expediting possible with a rushed job offer?

5) Can anyone recommend a reliable attorney or immigration office?

Thanks, Ken
