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!-

2 RepliesI have an N400 citizenship interview coming up in a week under section 319B. I do not have my husband's naturalization original document because it was lost. I have every single other document and a million others proving his affiliation in the military and everything else under the sun you can imagine about our marriage, our kids, our taxes...etc.
I am still freaking out that they would want this one doc above all else. I have already applied for an N565 replacement of doc but that will take a few weeks, or months to come in.
Can anyone suggest what to do?

5 RepliesI applied for direct consular filing in Frankfurt Germany, because I work in Germany, but this was not approved. So next I applied for an I-130. At the time of application her address was in her home country. On the I-130 I selected the Frankfurt Embassy and opted for consular processing. While we have been waiting for I-130 approval, she has relocated to Germany and obtained a SOFA card and lives with me in Germany now. We'd like to do her interviews in Frankfurt, Germany since we both live there now. What would be the best moves for us as next steps? Should I update someone on her address change to Germany? Should I do this by directly emailing the Frankfurt Consulate and asking them to transfer the case to themselves or something like that?

1 RepliesHi All -
For I-129F Item 4B (Criminal History Documents) - When I go to the Clerk at the California courthouse that tried my case, do I simply ask them for a court certified copy of my arrest record and disposition? Whatever stamped document they provide is all I need to fulfill the documentation?
Then the police report that is not certified is OK too, right?
This is for a 15 year ago expunged DUI case. I have searched throughout VJ and am clarifying the documents that are needed to avoid the RFE.
Thank you!

2 RepliesOn the DS-260 form it asks for name in native language. When I try to copy/paste, it puts the name backwards due to the fact that Arabic is read right to left and the form is defaulted left to right. Should I just skip this? Is it a big deal to skip it?
