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!-

Recent Immigration DiscussionsI-485 approved while abroad with AP. Will this complicate passport/N600 process? 1:16 pm today

1 RepliesGoodDay. Hopefully, someone knows and can help me on this matter.
I'm a US citizen and my son (a minor 15y) got I-485 approved and we are still abroad. We have been using his Advanced Parol without a problem a couple of times to visit family and manage paperwork abroad since my father-in-law passed away.
I have read that he can use the AP or the GC if we can get it delivered on time to re-enter the US, but that's not my concern.
When we started the I485 process the preparer we hired stated, that once he was approved, we needed to file for the passport/N600 and not use the GC to travel abroad. Would this complicate the process for his passport/N600 or why would he mention this? We will have to re-enter with the new info on hand (GC if it gets delivered before his return), and apparently, it depends on the officer on how he registers his entrance, as AP or GC.

1 RepliesMy daughter current visa category is F2B. I became a us citizen about 5 years ago. They did not automatically convert her to F1. Right now F2B priority date is current and she has an interview scheduled. Do I need to do anything ? If they put her back in f1 her priority date is not current. I would like to keep her as F2B since she already has interview scheduled , do I still need to submit a letter to opt out of converting ? Please let me know. Thanks
