Hello,

I'm going to apply to extend my permanent residency with the I-90 within 6 months of it expiring. The only reason for me applying is due to the expiry. Do I need to supply any other supporting documents other than a copy of the permanent resident card, two photos, proof of address, filing fee, and proof of identity? I read somewhere that I have to supply "documents to prove I'm still a permanent resident". Does this apply and what sort of documentation would this be?

Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone. I m a Brazilian married to a U.S. citizen for 10 years, and we both currently live in Brazil. We re planning to apply for the IR1 visa since we intend to move to the U.S. in early 2027. I m an army officer, and she s a dentist. My current income is above the poverty guideline, but hers is not. We plan to move when she s possibly accepted into a U.S. university to validate her dental degree. I d like to avoid relying on a joint sponsor what are my options?

P.S.

1. We have real estate and financial assets that together amount to roughly three times the poverty guideline.

2. When we move, she will receive a student loan that covers both tuition and living expenses for a couple, with a total amount exceeding 125% of the poverty line. Can this amount be considered?

I want to work in the US but I am uncertain on what I need to do. I'm looking to get information from someone who is a Canadian that went through this process.

Hi everyone,

We are in the very early stages of planning for the K1. We were initially thinking of going the consular processing route but due to a change in circumstances, we're now planning to follow the K1 -> AoS route.

Can we marry in US Virgin Islands? I know that K1 is a single entry visa. If we fly directly from the mainland there should be no immigration. But what about the return? I am not familiar with the immigration procedures in USVI. Is travel to USVI similar to Hawai`i, where there's no immigration if coming from the mainland?

I am the USC (naturalized), my fiancee will be the beneficiary. I have to confess that I am not looking forward to dealing with USCIS again heh.

Thanks!

Hello!

Would be perfect to hear the experience from people who were at the Swedish U.S. embassy!

When you finished DS-160, did they immediately offered you to schedule the visa interview? Like did they send you a link in email or?
Or did you need to go through a specific webpage to book?

Or you just finished DS-160 and waited until embassy mails or emails you with the instructions?

I just have heard that people can immediately book an interview after paying for the DS-160, so I wouldn t want to waste my time just waiting until the embassy contacts me if I know there is a way to book for the interview faster! I don t know - I m confused!
