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!-

Recent Immigration Discussions5 years of trip info...when applying under 3 year rule 1:54 am today

1 RepliesHello! My first post in a looooong time.
I'm applying online for citizenship under the 3 year rule (lawful resident for last 3 years and married and living with US citizen spouse for last 3 years) - and I'm confused about the 'time outside the US' section.
It's asking me to provide information on 'trips' I've taken outside the US in the last 5 years - however, I've only lived in the US for just over 4 years. So, should I include the year prior to me moving here...even though that wasn't a trip, it was me living in my home country? Or should I just start the trip history from the date I moved here?
Hoping someone who's already done this can advise!
Thanks

1 RepliesCan anyone help me out? I was going to wait on the K1 visa application but now I am considering just getting married in the Philippines. I am in Manila. I did not bring my birth certificate on this trip. I only have my passport and drivers license and ACR card. What are the logistics and timelines and options if I want to get married on this trip while I am here?
I have been researching this on my own but am just getting more and more confused. Sincere thanks in advance.

2 RepliesHi All,
I submitted my N-400 back in December, my family wants to go on a vacation outside the country in the next couple months. Is there any problem with travel outside the country while waiting for a N-400 application to be processed? I just don't want to do anything that could jeopardize the process.
Thank you!

2 RepliesHi All,
I submitted my N-400 application last December and am still waiting for an update, my case is currently being reviewed according to the status in my USCIS account. My question is, is there any issues with also submitting my application for GC renewal while my N-400 is in progress. I just want to be safe and have a back up plan, as I know the approval of citizenship isn't guaranteed.
Thank you!
