    Abandoned AOS and now regret it
    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?

    US Citizen with Foreign Fiancé: When and How to Get Married?
    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?)
    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?
    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?
    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 ?

    I-864 Joint Sponsor Question
    11:36 pm yesterday

    Hi All, I recently received an RFE for my Form I-864 from my joint sponsor. There were some issues with pay stubs, etc., so I decided to find a different joint sponsor to avoid a denial in my application.

    Here are the main points:

    - My wife (US citizen) does not meet the financial requirements, so we needed a joint sponsor

    - Her brother (LPR), who lives in a different state, is going to be our new joint sponsor.

    I was filling in the I-864 form, and it was quite straightforward for me until I realised his tax returns had "Married taxpayer filing jointly". His spouse does not work

    My question is, now that I know he is filing jointly, does this mean that his spouse has to provide a Form I-864a? Or can I submit just his I-864 alone, as he meets the requirements and has no additional income from his spouse?

    Ds-160 Form help

    I just need clarification for the DS-160 form please. Please see below: I was told that B1/ B2 are given as 1 but if I just need to visit the US to see relatives and have no business to attend to, should I just choose B2? We plan to stay at my brother-in-law's house? Is he considered a "Relative" or should I choose "Others"? I am adding my kids as companions and I am a bit confused where it says "Relationship with the person". Should it be "Parent" or "Son/Daughter?

    Hi Guys,

    my citizenship interview is in a few weeks. I had a traffic ticket and I forgot to mention that in question 15a or 15b questions and so I checked No. Should I tell the officer at the beginning of the interview or wait for them to ask that question, please advise.

      Pls I need advice 
       
      my partner is currently out of job , although he is working on getting something sooner 
       
      Can he file for K1 while he is out of job , we already prepared all out documents.
      Can we still send our file to the postal office even when he hasn’t gotten a job yet ?
      or it’s advisable to wait still when he has a job before we can summit the Form I-129F
       
      pls I need advice on this 
      thanks

      Hello! For an update, my husband flew back to Baghdad and shipped (DHL) to a friend in Ankara that has a translation business. He hand delivered Ali's passport to the embassy. Once it was ready for pick up, Omer retrieved my husband's passport with visa stamp inside and mailed it to my husband. I wish you the best of luck!
