Hello I was hoping to get some opinion regarding of whether to submit the K1 visa after my fiance leaves the country which will be in couple days and submit it the day he leaves or before or just wait for him to leave the country to file it to USCIS. Also, I am changing address in the next 2 weeks and did anyone had an issue of changing their address through USCIS. Do I just log in the account and change it? will it delay the process once its submitted with the old address but then changing it in the next 2 weeks. Thank you and I appreciate your insights. thanks.

What can I expect if my spouse's 1-30 CR-1 is being processed at the Vermont Service Center, my step-son's K-3 is being processed in Nebraska Service Center, and my step-daughter's K-3 is being processed in the Texas Service Center? All of the petitions are tied together with each other through petition reference, but I am curious how the USCIS processes spouses with minor children when the petitions are scattered all over the country and have similar but different processing times?

I wanted to make a quick post about my wife's experience a few weeks ago during her citizenship interview to maybe save anyone else in a similar situation some time. My wife (K1) and step daughter (K2) filed for removal of conditions back in June of 2023. She received an extension letter for her Permanent Resident card in response. We decided it was best for her to just go ahead and file her N 400 (citizenship) in April of this year and do a combo interview. Her citizenship interview was this month at the Kansas City office. She attended and answered all of the questions correctly and was recommended for approval. When she went back out to the main counter to get a swearing in ceremony date and time they asked where our daughter was. She told them our daughter was at school where she should be on a Tuesday morning at 9am. We were then informed about the Alien Registration Requirement (https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration) passed this year that requires anyone 14 years of age or older to recomplete all of their biometrics.

We offered to go get her from school and bring her back but were told we will need a new appointment and they will send a letter. This is our fault for not keeping up with the new requirements, but in my opinion there have been so many recent changes it is difficult for average people who are working and taking care of their family. We were never informed with any notices, emails, or even the appointment letter that our daughter would also need to attend the interview for biometrics. If you have any children who were part of the immigration process that are 14 years of age or will be 14 years of age as of the time of your citizenship interview, make sure you go through the G-325R Biographic Information Registration process as shown in the link I pasted above.

Relative has a reentry permit that expired ~2 years ago. Their physical green card is still valid. I am aware of the resident status impact. Relative was stuck overseas due to caring for a chronically ill relative and other family related obligations.

Some have posted that they were able to board and travel to the US. The question is, what are the chances that they would be allowed entry? I am aware that they can have an immigration judge decide what their status would be, but the issue is that entry may simply be denied? Is SB-1 a better option?
