Hi everyone! Is there someone here, particularly from the Philippines, who filed a K-1 Visa from another country (e.g., OFW, immigrants from other countries), I'd like to ask if you still attended the CFO seminar conducted in the Philippines.

I heard that if you have resided abroad for several years, you're exempt and no longer required to attend the seminar.

Any experiences? Please share po. Thank you!

I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed elsewhere on the forum, I'm new here and my fianc and I are about to begin the K! process. My 11 year old is set to come with us but i do have joint custody of her with care and control to me. Even with that I believe I need to get a notarized letter from her father stating that he gives permission and has no objections to her moving to the US with me. Has any one else here had to go through this step/process? I have been trying to see if there are any templates or guidelines for said letter but I can't seem to find any.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone,

My wife (US citizen) and I (J1 visa without 2 year requirement) have moved from the UK in April of this year. We initially moved to the US because of job opportunities which was meant to be for 2 years and then go back to Europe after that. Now we are thinking of staying in the US.

From our understanding, we would be eligible for adjustment of status. I wanted to ask when to apply for AOS, and how to justify the AOS while on a J1 visa.

We are wondering if we should get a lawyer to help with this. We previously did a spousal visa for my wife in the UK without any issues. That involved showing evidence of relationship (5 years of joint lease and joint bank accounts in the UK, pictures together, paying council tax together). Our only concern is that we do not have much history in the US. We have a joint bank account, we have a joint lease, and we are the beneficiaries of our life insurance policies. Would the evidence from the UK still count, or is it US specific only.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

One of my friend petitioned her parents to come to US through IR5 visa. She is filling paperwork at NVC step and there is required to upload petitioner marriage certificate. My friend was married but got divorced. She is not sure how to handle this section.

I was thinking to tell her to choose not available and explained the reason.

Please help and advise. Thank you

Hey guys I'm the petitioner and I sent my i129f November of last year and a few days ago I received a notice for me to do biometrics (fingerprints). How long after doing your fingerprints did you get a response?
