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!-

1 RepliesI understand that when conditional permanent residents who have expired green cards with extension letters try to use global entry, kiosks won't accept their green cards and they'll be sent to an officer to show their card + letter.
Has anyone here updated their permanent resident card expiration date on their TTP profile for Global Entry to the extension letter expiration date prior to traveling? If so, what was your experience when traveling and using kiosks?

2 RepliesOur case was approved April 17th and after keeping up with the NVC processing times, I wrote in last week to request my case number. I received an email back with an attachment stating the NVC will now forward the petition to the Consulate in San Jos CR and that they will contact us when they are ready to process our petition. They also included the case number.
A few days later I checked the ceac website and it shows our status is READY "Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment."
How we will be notified of the interview appointment? Anyone know an estimate of our timeline here until the appointment? When I go to our visa portal it says no app. has been scheduled. should I write into the nvcinquiries?
