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!-

In wishing you good luck in your process i would really appriciate your insights and personal experience in what i am about to share.
I was previously married and divorced in Canada.Returned to my homecountry (Albania) here i figure out as single because the marriage never took place in Albania.
I have my marriage and divorce certifictes from Canada and my birth certificate from Albania (single)
Will this affect my pettition for the K1 Vissa on the interview date?
Is there anyone with the same experience?

3 RepliesMy wife is currently a US green card holder. We just moved and she filed her change of address online, as per USCIS requirements to notify them within 10 days of moving. However, the online change of address form requests a receipt number for a case. Her case is closed, because she was issues her green card. However, the form indicates that applications associated with a closed case may be declined. She submitted the form with the receipt number for her closed case. Is this going to be a problem? Should she resubmit the form selecting the option that she doesn t have a receipt number?

6 RepliesHi there, Im currently living in Iran with my wife and children. Myself and the children are us citizens. We filed for the i130 and was approved and sent to nvc a couple days ago. Currently waiting for the welcome letter.
As for the i864, I have filed taxes for the past 10 years. but for 2023 income was around 8k, 2022 around 10k and 2021 around 15k. The income was based on stock sales and bank interests.
In savings I currently have around 300k liquid in cash. Would this be enough ? My father is willing to be a joint sponsor for us but he as well has no income but has a property worth around 2million which is paid off and 100k in cash. would having him as a joint sponsor help at all ?
Also I had a job interview over skype and have a letter from the company which I would like to work that I have been hired and can start working from the day which I arrive with a 70k salary per year.
Another question I have for the annual income part in the form, which I believe is an estimate of my income for 2024 , can I put like 35k ? ( assuming I will get my visa in a month , that would be half of the 70k which I have been promised by the company? )
so stressed out from this
