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 work a part time job (which is under the poverty line) and do free lance for the rest of my work, I would like to use a family member as the sponsor.
Can I use them as the main sponsor, or do I have to file them as a "Co-Sponsor" still? Can I fill out all of Part 3 with their information? Will their W2 be Sufficient or is a statement from their employer a must?

3 RepliesHey everyone!
I am putting together my paper work for the Adjustment of status (K1 visa holder) and I haven't seen any specific form used for the BIOMETRICS APPOINTMENT or something similar. I am not sure if I need to complete a new form besides (I-485, I-864, I-765, I-131, I-693). I already read your post about forms needed.
Is there any other form specific for Biometrics? or they are just gonna let me know when I should go to my appointment?

3 RepliesHello there,
My H2B Visa Waiver application was submitted on April 26 and it was approved in the CEAC system on the next business day April 29. However since then the status hasn't been changed. I haven't been contacted for any additional information or documents, need for an interview, AP notification, etc. It's been 15 business days since then with 4-5 holidays between.
Is there somebody who has been in a similar situation and/or knows what might cause delays in similar cases and how long does the final processing takes approximately?
Thank your assistance!
