Mariammaria posted a topic in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports,
Please be nice, I know I made a mistake... But got my K1 approved and arrived in the US June 25, 2024 and applied for AOS February 25, 2025 -- then left the US (abandoned my AOS). Will I be banned for re-entry to the US -- even under a spouse visa?-

N400: Admitted to Weed during Green Card (was it a crime I was not arrested for?)
Left Over posted a topic in US Citizenship General Discussion,
To start, marijuana is illegal in my country of origin. When I was applying for my green card I admitted to trying marijuana when I was in my 20's (I'm 49 now). I got my green card and have lived in the US for 5 years. I'm in the process of applying for citizenship. What answer should I give to the question: "Have you EVER committed, agreed to commit, asked someone else to commit, helped commit, or tried to commit a crime or offense for which you were NOT arrested? Yes or No" given that I admitted to past marijuana use during the GC process?-

Firstly, I want to get some things clear because I know everyone will say this otherwise:

Fiance or Marriage Visa in 2025 ? Pros and cons?
KandB posted a topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration,
I'm 23F 🇨🇿, my partner is 29M 🇺🇲
We want to get our visa going sometime this year and want to be together as soon as possible but we are still unsure which visa would serve us better. I'd like to get married in my home country but on the other side i wouldn't mind getting married paperwise in the US and waiting for my work permit and etc if it would allow us to be together faster and then save up for and have our dream wedding in my home country.
What do you think ? All of this is so overwhelming and confusing and we just want to do the right thing.
I asked the same question on reddit, so many people recommended me to go with fiance visa, two suggested marriage visa. I need more input and advice from experienced people. Thank you
Ps: is it possible to have dual citizenship so i don't lose one from my home country? How does that work ?- 31 replies

4 RepliesI need help for my sister. Any advice on what to do are very welcome.
I have sister who came this year fianc visa. Sad to know that they after they got married she found out that her husband cheating on her. They always argue coz of the 3rd party. She has 1 kid with her two weeks ago she found out that she s pregnant. She wanted to go home coz her husband also never treat her like she s a wife. He barely buy her like personal items and when my sister bought lotion it s a big deal to her husband coz it worth of $5. We all know everything is expensive. I feel sorry for her. I send her lots of personal items also my niece.
her husband telling her he will get the child after she delivered the child and he never file the 2 years green card coz according to him she s staying at home only . she don t need a green card. He tried to scared my sister for telling her also if she go home he will never support the child. I was pissed and finally reach out my sister husband telling him he cannot traitening my sister coz I know laws here in the U.S . He never filled income tax for 2024 . Coz he will owe lots of money to the IRS . He is self employed and from last yr income he will pay about $30k and he keep telling he will never file taxes anymore . Which the W2 is the most important to file green card. Since my sister arrived this year of January she still not a permanent resident and I have a friend who also advised me if he never filed the green card at all my sister can seek like Catholic charities organization.
is anybody experienced like my sister ?
I seek immigration lawyer they only told me she can go if she want to go home or stay married and divorced later. But the problem he will never process the paperwork. And I couldn t do anything for her coz she came here as a fiance visa.
any advice on what to do for my sister?
I appreciate to those who willingly give me advice.
