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!-

Process for bringing my wifes parents to the US 11:44 am today

2 RepliesMy wife just filed her N400 and we are looking ahead to possibly bringing her parents to the US after she becomes a citizen. I have a few questions about this.
First of all she will be eligible to petition for them after she becomes a citizen correct?
It is my understanding my wife would file an I-130 for them. Is the process similar to applying for a spousal visa?
It appears as far as documents go they would need birth certificates and a marriage certificate (along with my wifes birth certificate and naturalization certificate)? Is anything else needed? We would like to have her parents start gathering the needed documents now.
Are the processing times for this type of visa similar to a spousal visa or does it take longer?
My wife has a 17 year old brother. It is my understanding that after her parents become permanent residents they can petition for him. Is this correct? Would he have to be under 21 at the time they petition for him?
We would like to petition for my wifes parents as soon as she becomes a citizen so were trying to get all of our ducks in a row right now.

4 RepliesHi, so I've seen around the forums that if you're going to your medical and you have self harm scars, you need a note from your doctor in advance stating that they feel you're not a threat to yourself or others. However, my doctor insists that legally she can't write this because she's not an expert in mental health, is this right? I've seen lots of other accounts of people getting this easily from their GP (UK based). Any advice on what I can give to her to reassure that it would be okay?
