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!-

Recent Immigration DiscussionsStarted new job after DQ at NVC, should I do new I-864 5:47 am today

2 RepliesHello, i'm wondering if someone can provide me some insight in to this. My wife's has already been DQ'd since 2022, and her interview will be coming up soon. I recently got a new job (literally with in the past month). The income from my last job was already well over the poverty guidelines so I had no issues with I-864 approval, and my new job that I got pays even more, will I need to file a new form I-864? I worked my previous job for 5 years, so all my tax transcripts I have submitted show that previous job. I also filed my taxes for this year before I left my last job so even the latest tax returns/W2 for this year shows that job, and I also have the tax transcript for this year as well with that job being listed on there. Does anyone think this will be an issue if my most current transcripts/W2 show the job that I just left? Should i provide proof of my new Job with a new I-864? I am not unemployed and there was no gap in my employment at all, so thats where the confusion is coming from, I feel like uploading another I-864 is just gonna cause more confusion. But I wanted some advice/input from everyone. Thank you!

I received the above message after I submitted my documents to nvc. I am living out of USA since 2012 up to now. But I have a house mortgaged in USA and currently one of my friend is living there and he is co-sponsoring my wife. I am planning to go with my family and start living there. So how should I reply to above message ?
Apply US citizenship. filing N400. Divorced and required to show financial support to my family 2:28 am today

1 RepliesI am applying US citizenship. filing N400.
here is my background info:
I came to US in 1992 with family. After i finished college and worked for a while, I left US and went back to Hong Kong in 2002.
I kept coming back to US every 5~6 months to keep my green card.
I came to US to settle down in 2019. I am still holding a green card. I have been working as software engineer till now.
I bought a house in California in 2021.
I married in Hong kong in 2012. have 2 kids. 10 and 7 years old.
Then i came to US in 5/2019, and my sister has been supporting my wife and kids financially since I left Hong Kong
I always go back to see them 3 times a year.
I am eligible to apply for citizenship.
but I divorced in Hong Kong and got a court order in 3/2024.
When I filed N400, it requires me to show court order and show that i am financially supporting my ex-wife and kids. I haven't sent them any money. So i will start wire-transferring $5000 every 2 months, starting form June 1, 2024.
I will file N400 again in Feb 2025. this way i will have some transaction record to show USCIS.
my court order only announced we are divorced, but it doesn't the detail of alimony. We didn't include this when we filed divorce because we trust each other. And my sister is willing to help.
my question is:
1) do you think the transactions record from 6/1/2024 till 2/2/2025 enough to show that i am supporting my family. There will be 6 transactions (6/1, 8/1, 10/1, 12/1, 2/1/2025)
2) my court order only announced that we are divorced, but didn't include detail of alimony. so is it ok if I show this transactions record?
Thanks
