Ir1 visa application. Married since 2016. Interview scheduled for Nov 25.

through the document collating as part of the AOS we recognised that my wife (sponsor) has been (always has pre and post marriage) filing as single tax payer we now know she should have been filing MFS. She is well above min poverty wage.

Since recognising this we have submitted form 1040-x to amend status to MFS for the past 3 years (22, 23 and 24) Amended tax returns will not be published for 16 weeks so we only have the forms we submitted and screen shots of the amendment status from her IRS portal.

what should we do in this situation? Ie should we upload to NVC or just take docs with me to interview? Is it likely to be an issue or given the action we have taken is it likely to be of concern to CO?

appreciate any advice in advance.

I am waiting for my approval. Has anyone else filed both? And if someone recently approved because of k3? You can share your experiences. Thanks

My mother is 83 years old and currently in the U.S. on a visitor visa. I recently came across a post on Instagram by an immigration lawyer claiming that if the parent of a U.S. citizen is already in the U.S. legally, it's possible to apply for a green card through adjustment of status after 90 days of entry. Can anyone confirm if this information is accurate? Please share if anyone has a documentation for the process.

Thank you.

Hi

I know that this is a long shot.

Does anyone have a contact at the U.S. Embassy to Bangkok?

We've spent the last week emailing and calling the visa "helpline".

They don't appear to understand our case.

I'm stuck in a loop and all I need to do is book an appointment.

We've never been given our DS-260 number and the system won't let us move forward.

Thanks

Hi all,

U.S. citizen petitioner here. Spouse is a Turkish national. I-130 was filed online in December 2024. No approval of anything yet, no NVC case, no DS-260, and obviously no interview. Just the initial receipt notice. I'm considering withdrawing because we ended up moving to New Zealand together instead, and plan to live here for the foreseeable future.

Will withdrawing now affect future US visa applications? Also, is it considered a " visa refusal" for immigration purposes?

If anyone has firsthand experience with withdrawing before USCIS approval, would love to hear what your confirmation looked like and whether it affected later filings.

Thank you in advance!
