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!-

6 RepliesHi there,
My husband and I received notice of action 2 a week ago.
However, it looks pretty different from what the people usually get.From my understanding, I thought after receiving NOA2, NVC will be mailing you or emailing you about next step.
Our application stated that I (beneficiary) need to submit either I-485 or I-824. I have attached our notice we received. Can someone please help me what I should do next?

My brother in law is FB4. At Visa Journey their Jan 2022 column reads 2007-03-22. Does that mean in January of 2022 these visas being processed were from 2007 year applications?

2 RepliesHi all,
My petition expires at the end of the month but there are currently no slots for me to schedule my interview at the embassy. I keep checking regularly though. How is the petition validated when after it expires? Does the embassy renew it automatically, do they need to be contacted or do I need to bring a letter?
Has anybody been in a similar situation where they have had their visa interview after their petition has expired and if so how long after the expiry date was it? I am anxious and worried about it as there was a delay in receiving my police certificate.
Hope you can help!

3 RepliesHello,
My fianc and I are getting close to scheduling an interview at the Helsinki embassy. He is nervous for the interview, he's afraid if he takes a moment to think about a question they will see that as suspicious. He has a language processing disorder and sometimes takes a moment to think/ tell his answer. I told him the questions should be easy enough, as they are all about ourselves, family and our relationship, but he's also afraid they will throw a question he wont know the answer for.
Is the interview relatively easy? I have confidence he can do it, but he seems nervous that he will fail.
We also have a co-sponsor since I am a student graduating soon, hopefully that's ok for Helsinki.

14 RepliesBeneficiary spent exactly 181.4 days down to the hour according to flight records in another country, which included the month of February. Who here thinks this is 6 months, legally? Clearly, half of 365 days is 182.5. But 30 days x 6 month is 180. It matters as to necessity of getting police certificate.
