    PSA: If entering the USA 2 years after marriage, kindly remind the immigration officer of this

    PSA: If entering the USA 2 years after marriage, kindly remind the immigration officer of this

    spicynujac posted a topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures,

    When we last entered the US, our immigration officer said "Oh, hmm I wonder if I could go ahead and change you an IR-1."  The agent right next to him said "Yes, you can do that" and he acted surprised. His comments made it pretty clear he was going to erroneously issue us a CR-1 and he seemed to not even know he could change the visa status until his coworker advised him (THANK GOODNESS she overheard!).  I don't know how onerous the process is to correct such an oversight but I'm glad we didn't have to find out!
     
    Just wanted to pass this along in the hopes it saves someone from any problems with the wrong stamp being placed in the passport, as I've read about here before....  I would kindly remind the officer "We married >2 years ago.  We can enter with an IR-1 visa now right?"

    Hello, so my wife came in k-1 visa to USA and we got married and all. We filled for work permit and green card together but while doing that my lawyer filed for I-130 no idea why. Will that application make my process for work permit and green card slow? If so how do I withdrawal that application? My lawyer isn’t helpful at all. I need some help…

     Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?

    Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?

    PeachyTocker posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,

    My gf and I live in Thailand but spend 2-4months in the US per year. Once/if we have children age 5+, the time split would become vice versa. We have no plans to live full-time in the United States in the next 5 years, but I visit my family and friends 2-3x per year for 2-3 weeks at a time. I would love it if she can join me for those trips and experience that part of my life. What options do we have -- US visa wise, maybe a tourist or fiance visa later? Other?

    Abandoned AOS and now regret it

    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?

    US Citizen with Foreign Fiancé: When and How to Get Married?

    gandalf1989 posted a topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures,

    I'm currently living and working in the United States. My fiancé currently lives in Japan. We have been dating for about 6 months, and we have met in person several times, but we are not yet married.
    My fiancé will be visiting me in the United States on a tourist visa some time in March or April and staying for about 3 months. I want to file for a fiance/spouse visa asap -- what's next?

    I see the recent announcement thread that I751 can be submitted online, and other than that, two threads of complaints/problems. Anyone have a successful experience submitting it online?

    was anybody out here able to print that aramex confirmation page on ustraveldocs?

    we can edit how we wanna pick it up, but up on confirming our selection, the page loads back to the visa home page with the new updated selection, but no aramex confirmation page no matter what pick up option we change it too.

    i did read numerous comments on other groups saying that aramex confirmation page dont print no more, i guess it just be in the system but not an actual paper, i guess they are trying to go green...hahahaha

    Translations of System Printouts - Abbreviations, codes etc

    Hi

    I am working on a translation of the National Registry of Addresses to prove we have lived together for X years.

    The document is a print out from a system and contains some abbreviations and codes. Such as

    "Dnr" - Stands for "diarienummer" which means case number

    "Type: FB" - Whatever the type "FB" means is anyone's guess, it is seemingly just a code for the address entry in the system

    "Adm. change from" - Adm likely means Administrative, but who knows?

    What is the standard for dealing with peripheral abbreviations and codes that is not reliably translatable?

    Kind regards,

    Slempi

    Hello, there s a small typo on my filed i130 form. Under Other Address and Contact Info for the Beneficiary, 13f is filled out but the address is the same as item 11. Is a correction needed to explain that 13f should be blank or can we leave it as is? If a correction is needed, what would be the best way?

    Thanks in advance!

      @aracia70, I saw your message on the thread I started about Ciudad Juarez. I've added your case to my tracker. I usually post an update once a month if anyone I am tracking received their interview assignment.

      Hello @Cesarr. I hope you are doing well. I wanted to check with you to ask if you've received any news from the NVC? Some people with DQ dates in October have started to receive appointments. Did you receive a message?
