I want to work in the US but I am uncertain on what I need to do. I'm looking to get information from someone who is a Canadian that went through this process.

Hi everyone,

We are in the very early stages of planning for the K1. We were initially thinking of going the consular processing route but due to a change in circumstances, we're now planning to follow the K1 -> AoS route.

Can we marry in US Virgin Islands? I know that K1 is a single entry visa. If we fly directly from the mainland there should be no immigration. But what about the return? I am not familiar with the immigration procedures in USVI. Is travel to USVI similar to Hawai`i, where there's no immigration if coming from the mainland?

I am the USC (naturalized), my fiancee will be the beneficiary. I have to confess that I am not looking forward to dealing with USCIS again heh.

Thanks!

Hello!

Would be perfect to hear the experience from people who were at the Swedish U.S. embassy!

When you finished DS-160, did they immediately offered you to schedule the visa interview? Like did they send you a link in email or?
Or did you need to go through a specific webpage to book?

Or you just finished DS-160 and waited until embassy mails or emails you with the instructions?

I just have heard that people can immediately book an interview after paying for the DS-160, so I wouldn t want to waste my time just waiting until the embassy contacts me if I know there is a way to book for the interview faster! I don t know - I m confused!

Hello!

My mother-in-law and I are trying to go through the I-134 questions.

We are a little bit confused and wanted to know what did you guys wrote/did.

Do we understand right that the sponsor is the petitioner and the joint sponsor is my mother-in-law?

So as I understand, they both will need to fill I-134.

So at the question 18 - does my fianc need to check no ? As he doesn t have enough of income. And on my mother-in-law s form, it would be yes ?

When do I mention that I have a joint sponsor? When I will fill the DS-160? Or at the visa interview?

At the question 12 - Beneficiary s Anticipated Period of stay in The U.S.

Do we just write the approximate date that we think I ll be there with my visa? Even if I wouldn t be there from that date (we aren t psychics, haha), it wouldn t be a big of a deal right? It s just weird they are asking for a specific date. I hope it would be okay if the months maybe would be the same.

And of course we would check no end date

About question 17.

My mother-in-law is wondering, where she can get a proof, like a document that she doesn t have any mortgages or anything?

What did you mention on the question 17? Does she need to mention car, houses, accounts?

If you have any tips or experience about joint sponsors, I would really appreciate! Maybe there are little things that we don t know.

Thank You in advance!

I am writing this query in behalf of my aunt who petitioned her married son last 2016 and now a divorce.

Her question is, how can she change the status of the petition from F3(married son/daughter of USC) to F1(unmarried son/daughter of USC)?

Her case is pending at USCIS California Service Center. She mailed her son dvorcee decree, receipt number, and explaining letter 3 times over pass 2 yrs, but still waiting a response from USCIS?

Are there anyway can she do to speed up the case?

Thank you
