Hi everyone,

We recently transferred our K-1 visa case to Juarez. We have not received any notification regarding this yet, but we did receive an email confirming the transfer.We recently received legal advice regarding our DS-160 application process. The website states that once we submit the application, we will be asked to schedule an interview and pay the fees on the ustravelsocs website. This process follows the completion of the ds160 form and receipt of confirmation.My fianc is concerned about the interview process. They are hesitant due to having seen different methods used in other cases. We want to ensure we are following the correct procedures. Should we contact the embassy to inquire about their preferred interview process? Or are we being given correct info by our attorney?

Hello,

I (US Citizen) recently got married to my spouse (Canadian citizen) and want to apply for him to immigrate using the I-130 visa. My concern is that getting the marriage certificate can take 8-12 weeks on top of the wait times for the I-130. Can we submit the application with the record of solemnization we received from the officiant on the wedding day to start the application and then add the marriage certificate once we get it? Has anyone done that pathway before and did it backfire?

filling my I-130 currently, but struggling with one of the question "if the beneficiary's native written language does not use Roman letters, type or print his or her name and foreign address in their native written language.

The beneficiary is Canadian, but was born in China. Lived in Canada for more than 10 years.

She doesn't have dual citizenship, since China doesn't allow dual citizenship.

Of course, Chinese doesn't use Roman letters.

Should we fill in her name in Chinese characters and the Canadian address in English(it doesn't seem possible to translate an English address into Chinese)?

Thank you for any ideas!

Hello everyone, please has anyone travelled using Vawa advance parole recently and what your experience, please share. I have a pending vawa, 1-485 in abeyance.

Hi there, I am a U.S. citizen living abroad in the U.K. with my British husband.

We have filed his I-485 today. However, we already know that he will need to file an I-601, as he is opposed to all vaccines due to his religious beliefs.

Should we file his I-601 right now as well? Is there any benefit to this, since we already know he would be refusing vaccinations at the medical appointment for his green card?

Also, is it seriously a 28 month wait time for I-601 approval? I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around that.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice. We are going the DIY route on this one.
