US Immigration from England

I was recently on here about to bite the bullet for a K1 visa but during our last visit we married and are now looking to file for the CR-1.

I have been reading a lot of things about the CR1 and only just found out that you can apply online instead of mailing everything in. Has anyone got any experience with this and is it any easier this way?

I also found myself on this website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html and was reading about how there are a number of visas limited in each case. How does this affect the application if we were to apply in the near future?

Another question is, if we married in December, is it a red flag to apply for a visa so quickly? Also, we only had a small courthouse style wedding with no family or friends present, we are just desperately trying to be together and didn't want this tiny wedding to be what we visioned as the best day of our lives, if that makes sense?

Hello everyone,

Sorry if this topic has been done to death but I'm not too clued up on this stuff.

So my phone plan with Vodafone has expired and I'm needing to get a new phone. I was meant to already have emigrated to the US but i'm still here....

I was thinking of buying a phone and getting a month to month SIM through GIFFGAFF. My question is, after eventually moving to the US, is the phone I buy going to be compatible with the US sim that I will buy out there.

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance :)

Hello! My stepdaughter wants to move here with her fiance and 2 children. She is over 21 and they are unmarried. Would it be beneficial for them to remain unmarried and file F-2b, or to get married and file F-3? The concern would be how long they would be apart is we did F-2b, and then had to file to bring him over. Does anyone have any experience with this they could share please? My husband moved here 8 years ago from England but she wasn't ready yet (when it would have been much easier!).

Thank you very much!

My wife got her AOS biometrics appointment notice yesterday, and it came with a worksheet for her to fill out and bring with her to the appointment. Does she fill out the original sent to us and give it to them, or can she just make a copy in case of error and give them the filled out copy? Thanks!

Hi all, We applied for the 485/EAD/AP 5/23/20. My husband had his Biometrics Sept 1, and got his AP/EAD card 9/30 (expedited due to a family member in england passing which he went back for funeral)

Has anyone been through that same timeframe and receiving any update on the green card interview yet? That is the last piece of the puzzle! We heard some are being waived to COVID, but wasnt sure how true that was. Should we prepping stuff now for the interview, and yes, what? Some timelines said we may not hear anything until February, but thought I'd ask on here too. Again, this is for the Chicago office

Thanks all
