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!-

1 RepliesHi all, I heard you need to print out your confirmation page from the DS-260 to bring to the interview. I don't have my printer setup yet, could I submit my DS-260 online and then print later? Just making sure it's available to print anytime. Thanks!
Affidavit of Support 12:05 pm today

3 RepliesMy mother's 130 recently got approved. I make enough money to sponsor my mom myself; however, my wife and I filled our 2023 taxes as married filing jointly (MFJ), and our combined incomes are way above the 2024 HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support.
1. Can I only fill out an affidavit of support (my separate income is above the poverty guidelines) even though I filed taxes jointly with my spouse?
2. If yes, how will they know what portion of the combined income is from me?
3. Can I use I-864EZ since I meet the requirements?
4. If the above three are not correct, how should I proceed.
Appreciate the help. Thank you!

3 RepliesI received the notification email from NVC that our K1 case was being sent to the Hong Kong Consulate but my first name was misspelled in the attachment. It is clearly a typo they made (Ribert instead of Robert) as my NOA1 and NOA2 had my name correct. Can this be fixed now? What do I need to do? Thanks for your help.

3 RepliesYou have "6 months" to use a K1, I have read. What is the clock start date? My fiancee's K1 shows a 25 september expiration date but an issuance date of 16 may (last week). that's only a little over 4 months. We will be able to meet that deadline easily, but we had expected an expiration date in November. Did the clock start when our petition was approved?
