Ok. So when I filled out the application for I 129f, it asked if you have ever had a DUI. Maybe not this exact wording but close. Anyway, in 1978 and 1979 I had 2. This was 46 years ago. I didn't leave this off on purpose. This was something I forgot about. Actually I think I overlooked it. But the application was approved and sent to the NVC, then on to the Embassy. And now it's ready for my fiance to schedule medical and interview. When I realized this I contacted my attorney. I had a FBI background check ran. Nothing. I went to the courthouse to get a record of it. Nothing. I went to the police department and Sheriff department. Nothing. I told the courthouse clerk that I needed records of the case. They searched for two days. Nothing. So they gave me a certified letter stating there's no record of the alleged DUI. This is what it said. The attorney says now send these documents to my fiance along with a letter stating what happened. He said if they bring it up she will have the documents. The police and courthouse clerk said this was so long ago a DUI then was nothing more than a simple traffic offense. They also said I wasn't fingerprinted or the FBI would have a record. I'm terrified this is going to derail our visa. I was young and dumb. I have never been arrested since. What should I do. Thanks for any advice.

Hi everyone, I have a question about filing a K-1 Visa. Recently, my divorce was finalized and legally recongized in the U.S. I have a NOIR ( Notice of intent to revoke) from my 1-130 petition made back in 2019. My ex wife is Vietnamese and current fiance is also the same nationally. Would this cause a problem?

Hello VJ friends! I started my journey on here as a K-1 visa applicant in 2017. Fast forward 2024, I am now a US citizen! Thank y'all for your help. I am writing to ask about the IR2 visa category (child/children of US citizen). My son's IR2 was approved recently and I couldn't be happier. My only concern is how long does it take for the green card to be sent to our US address once he enters the US. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

To qualify for the N-400 marriage based application, my wife needs to meet both conditions or just one?

- must be married for 3 years

- must have a green card for 3 years

If she must meet both conditions, we need wait for her green card to reach the 3rd year. In the meantime, I need to file the removal of conditions. As I understand it, it is a long wait. During that wait time, can I also file the N-400? How does that when both I-751 and N-400 applications are running concurrently? No conflicts?

Thanks.

Based on USCIS filing date calculator, my earliest filing date is 1/27/2025. Can I mail the package out on 1/26/2025 and they receive it by 1/27/2025? I just want to make sure that USCIS uses the received date and not the post mark date.

Thanks.
