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!-

Tourist visa cancelled by CBP agent. Can we still get a CR1 or K1 Visa?
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 RepliesJust wondering how that works. I'm in Canada and partner is in US, we filed as such. I recently moved and now I'm not sure if there's anywhere I have to indicate to the USCIS that I've moved? Does all the correspondance go to my partner's residence in the US since that's where we'll be anyways? Will the interview date be mailed to me or just notify him via email? Thanks in advance! Still learnin the ropes
Filling form I-751 for my husband - am I considered a "preparer"? 10:06 pm today

2 RepliesWe are going to be sending the packet out in the next day or two, but I am obsessing over the application, because I want to make sure everything has been filled out correctly. An additional question has come up that I hope someone can clarify for me. I am filling out form I-751 for my husband...we are sitting together and answering the questions, but I am the one writing them down, simply because my handwriting is more legible than his is lol. He can understand and speak English fluently, so that is not an issue at all. But parts 7 and 10 both ask if the petitioner has requested the services of someone other than an attorney. There is also a section where it asks for the name of the preparer, if other than the petititoner. Am I considered a preparer? I read somewhere that if you are filing jointly with your spouse, you can disregard that section. But I just want to double check that we have filled this section out correctly. Thank you all for your help!
