    DV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?
    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
    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?
    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!

    Hello VJ friends! I started my journey on here as a K-1 visa applicant in 2017. Fast forward 2024, I am now a US citizen! Thank y'all for your help. I am writing to ask about the IR2 visa category (child/children of US citizen). My son's IR2 was approved recently and I couldn't be happier. My only concern is how long does it take for the green card to be sent to our US address once he enters the US. Thanks in advance for your help!

    N-400 On 3 Year Rule - Marriage Based Question
    7:51 pm today

    Hi,

    To qualify for the N-400 marriage based application, my wife needs to meet both conditions or just one?

    - must be married for 3 years

    - must have a green card for 3 years

    If she must meet both conditions, we need wait for her green card to reach the 3rd year. In the meantime, I need to file the removal of conditions. As I understand it, it is a long wait. During that wait time, can I also file the N-400? How does that when both I-751 and N-400 applications are running concurrently? No conflicts?

    Thanks.

    Based on USCIS filing date calculator, my earliest filing date is 1/27/2025. Can I mail the package out on 1/26/2025 and they receive it by 1/27/2025? I just want to make sure that USCIS uses the received date and not the post mark date.

    Thanks.

    Hi all, my mother is the petitioner for my sister (F31 visa). She has an interview appointment soon, after 18 years. My mother at the moment is with my sister in turkey where the interview location is. Does my mother need to be physically present in United states before or during the interview? she went to visit my sister a few months ago. (My mom has US citizenship). Thank you

    485 Pending after Interview / Home Visit, What should I do

    -File i-130/485, September 2021.

    -Interview 485, September 2023

    In December 2023, I moved out after my husband's ex-wife returned with his stepson. The husband continues to be a guardian.

    In January 2024, the immigration investigator visited my place and asked why I had moved out and why I had not stayed with my husband. I explained it.

    The husband had previous marriages filing petitions for others.

    I asked the company to file an H1B this year as a backup.

    Questions- what s the next step?

    1) Write a mandamus to ask the result.

    2) If immigration denies my 485 while my H1B is there, do I need to leave the country within certain days?

    3) Shall I file divorce to live depend on H1B?

    4) For next marriage, any bad impact

      2 years late to file I-751
      I am two years late in filing my I-751 form. Here’s the situation:
      - We completely overlooked this particular form.
      - After my initial green card expired, we applied for the I-90, which has been in process for two years.
      - With the extension they provided, I was able to travel and receive my driver's license.
      - In April this year, I filed for the N-400.
      - During this entire time, I received no communication from USCIS regarding missing documentation.
      - Today, at my naturalization interview, I learned I was supposed to file the I-751.
      - After some back and forth with the officer, he still conducted my interview. He mentioned that since I am married and have children, I should not have a problem, and he asked me to submit an affidavit of explanation plus supporting documents.
      - Later today, I received a letter in my portal asking for "missing documents," specifically the I-751. They gave me four days to provide evidence of the I-751 acceptance or processing status.
      I am unsure of what to do. Please help and advise.

      Notified on the USCIS website that my I-130 was approved and sent to the NVC on 27 May 2024. I am now researching what is next. 1. Call and verify my packet was received. 2. 2-3 weeks later call to see if a case number was assigned.  3. Begin preparing all documents needes. ie: original copy of wife birth certificate, original copy of marriage certificate and proof of support I-864 and any other documents needed.

      I intend to apply for US citizenship. I'm a permanent resident here since October 2020. I visited my home country for 7 months from 29th February until September 30th, 2023 i.e. more than 7 months. I would like to know as to when am I eligible to apply? Whether I needed to prove reasons as to why I was outside the USA for more than 6 months?
