Abandoned AOS and now regret it
Mariammaria posted a topic in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Please be nice, I know I made a mistake... But got my K1 approved and arrived in the US June 25, 2024 and applied for AOS February 25, 2025 -- then left the US (abandoned my AOS). Will I be banned for re-entry to the US -- even under a spouse visa?-

gandalf1989 posted a topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures,
I'm currently living and working in the United States. My fiancé currently lives in Japan. We have been dating for about 6 months, and we have met in person several times, but we are not yet married.
My fiancé will be visiting me in the United States on a tourist visa some time in March or April and staying for about 3 months. I want to file for a fiance/spouse visa asap -- what's next?-

N400: Admitted to Weed during Green Card (was it a crime I was not arrested for?)
Left Over posted a topic in US Citizenship General Discussion,
To start, marijuana is illegal in my country of origin. When I was applying for my green card I admitted to trying marijuana when I was in my 20's (I'm 49 now). I got my green card and have lived in the US for 5 years. I'm in the process of applying for citizenship. What answer should I give to the question: "Have you EVER committed, agreed to commit, asked someone else to commit, helped commit, or tried to commit a crime or offense for which you were NOT arrested? Yes or No" given that I admitted to past marijuana use during the GC process?-

Fiancée threatened with deportation by customs agent after arriving at airport for false accusations. How concerned should we be?
deletedUser21321 posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Firstly, I want to get some things clear because I know everyone will say this otherwise:
We are seeing an immigration attorney for consultation soon. We've already printed out several documents to prove that my fiancée is not coming here with the intent to live here for the future until they get the K-1 Visa... Now, Heres the actual story...-

Fiance or Marriage Visa in 2025 ? Pros and cons?
KandB posted a topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration,
I'm 23F 🇨🇿, my partner is 29M 🇺🇲
We want to get our visa going sometime this year and want to be together as soon as possible but we are still unsure which visa would serve us better. I'd like to get married in my home country but on the other side i wouldn't mind getting married paperwise in the US and waiting for my work permit and etc if it would allow us to be together faster and then save up for and have our dream wedding in my home country.
What do you think ? All of this is so overwhelming and confusing and we just want to do the right thing.
I asked the same question on reddit, so many people recommended me to go with fiance visa, two suggested marriage visa. I need more input and advice from experienced people. Thank you
Ps: is it possible to have dual citizenship so i don't lose one from my home country? How does that work ?-

Stuck in AP - No Slip - Passport Kept 12:40 pm today

1 RepliesHi!
We are doing DCF through Frankfurt due to my (American citizen) job.
My husband had his interview a few weeks ago and the officer verbally told him he would be approved, but we were missing one document. He was given instructions to send an email with the document and the visa would be issued. He went home and emailed the document through the instructions in Visa Navigator and it's now been a few weeks with no response. In CEAC it says the case hasn't been touched since his interview date. They still have his passport.
Anyone been through something similar? We are starting to get nervous, as the automatic emails say they won't process any emails, however we weren't given any paper slip or any other instructions other than "email it to me today and you'll be good to go"...

Medical Validity 8:22 am today

2 RepliesI might be psyching myself out here but would rather not leave any stone unturned:
The date of the medical my husband had overseas before arriving here is exactly one year and one day before his AOS interview. ..that doesn't matter, right? For some reason I have the notion in my head that the medical is only valid for a year. Am I mistaken, or should we be looking for a civil surgeon right now...

Hello everyone I really need help right now my case is in US consulate Montreal but was placed on administrative processing but I’m back in my home country Nigeria and I’ve been having difficulty communicating with them in regards to the transfer of my case· 0 replies
if anyone knows their mobile number and email address for Immigrant cases please let me know
thank you for your assistance in advance.
and another thing it’s been about two years since I went for my last interview and was refused based on the fact that I had outgrown my category and was told to wait
while transferring to another consulate do I need to also contact and NVC and notify them about it and does it affect my case in anyway.

Hey! I tried to go back to the thread where we were chatting about the increased timeline, but can’t seem to find it.· 1 reply
anyway I wanted to spread some hope your way. I’m apart of several k1 visa groups, some of which are on Facebook and ppl have been talking about the increased timeline there too.
one person shared this and 🤞🏽they are right. Just wanted to share with you because I know we were both feeling a bit hopeless.

The Philippines is a horrible third world communist S**T Hole. IMy heart is breaking because I do not believe I will ever see my wife and stepchild again. I will have to divorce her if she cannot come to the Uniyed States. If I had known how bad rge CFO was I would have never even bothered with a Filipino. It is jysrt so rediculously unfair that the Philippines thinks it owns its citizenss and can essentilly imprison them because they are not allowed to leave. I cannot have a wife I can only see a couple of weeks a year. I should have stayed away from the Philippines.· 0 replies
