Is it still worth it to send in your I765 work authorization form with your I485 form? And the EAD would only be valid until the I485 is approved? The new fees are pretty high and I don t believe my fianc is going to be working anytime soon so thinking about spreading out the fees. She will be going to school in the meantime.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi All,

New here, and I know this has likely been asked before, but can someone help with a quick query, please? Coz I have tried looking for clarification online and all I've found has been vague or extremely unhelpful.

So, I have been approved for my K1 visa, and gotten all my paperwork, etc. but it doesn't specify what (if anything) I need to present at the airport I'll be flying out from (in this case, Heathrow). All I received was the ruddy great envelope that you're not supposed to open and my passport. No physical visa anything to say that I'm traveling on a K1.

I've read on a couple of other threads here that you don't need an ESTA if you're already traveling on a K1, but like... do I need to present anything else at Heathrow? Or do I just wave the envelope and my passport at them. I'm just concerned about getting there and having to deal with any undue aggro when I get to the airport. If it makes any difference, I'll be flying with British Airways, and port of entry will be Austin, Texas.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

So, I am the US citizen and my girlfriend is the foreigner. She is from the Philippines but is currently residing and working in Saudi Arabia. I just got back from visiting her for the first time in Saudi Arabia and now we are planning on me visiting her and her family in the Philippines early next year.

After that, we will be working on her coming here. She has already tried to visit here, but her b2 visa was denied. We were not given a reason. She pretty much waited in line at the US embassy in SA and when she got to the front the visa officer denied her right away. We believe it was due to her applying in a country other than her home country. She had also at the time only been in SA for 6 months.

Should we try for a b2 visa, again? Or go straight to k-1? We are both also concerned about the part of the k-1 where we have to agree to marry while she is here. Obviously this is the end goal, but, we have only met each other in person once for a week at this point.

I'm new to all of this and any advice or tips would help a lot. Forms and applications are confusing and mixing it with relationships makes things even more complicated.

Thank you!

I petitioned a GC for my adult daughter around 3 years ago but I have since become a US citizen September of last year. Do you think I should start another new petition for her now that I ve been naturalized or do I go on with the current one?

Hello there,

my fianc and I recently submitted our form I-129f on April 5th however our form got rejected due to a problem with the preparers signature page. As we had filled out this form ourselves with no outside help, we put N/A in the signature boxes that didn t apply to us. Was this the right thing to do? They also left a very orange Missing page sheet in front of the signature boxes page at the end of the form as we have no missing pages I am assuming they had a problem with us putting N/A in the signature boxes that didn t apply to us. Can anyone please confirm?

the only other thing we can think of is we used a parents check, would they have seen this and assumed a parent or legal guardian filled out the form rather than ourselves?

many thanks for taking the time to read this post,

I look forward to working this out,
