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!-

2 RepliesI applied for a CRBA last week. I got a reply from the Embassy that I need to provide proof of paternity. They said that providing medical proof would be one way to prove that.
I do not want to do a DNA test as it will take too long . The Embassy has been dragging it's feet in processing everything. They claim to be shorthanded
My question is, other than a DNA test, is there any other kind of medical proof the I am the father of the child?
I know about submitting the birth certificate, witness statements, correspondence showing me referring to my daughter.
Any ideas or any kind of information in regards to providing proof of Paternity will be greatly appreciated.

10 RepliesHi there,
My husband and I received notice of action 2 a week ago.
However, it looks pretty different from what the people usually get.From my understanding, I thought after receiving NOA2, NVC will be mailing you or emailing you about next step.
Our application stated that I (beneficiary) need to submit either I-485 or I-824. I have attached our notice we received. Can someone please help me what I should do next?

2 RepliesHi all,
My petition expires at the end of the month but there are currently no slots for me to schedule my interview at the embassy. I keep checking regularly though. How is the petition validated when after it expires? Does the embassy renew it automatically, do they need to be contacted or do I need to bring a letter?
Has anybody been in a similar situation where they have had their visa interview after their petition has expired and if so how long after the expiry date was it? I am anxious and worried about it as there was a delay in receiving my police certificate.
Hope you can help!
