US Immigration from Finland

Hi,

apologies if this is a repeated question, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting info.

Do I need to bring my husband's (petitioner) divorce decree to the interview? If so, does it need to be an original or would a photocopy be enough (i.e. the same one we submitted online to USCIS and NVC - I would just print it out)?

Then again, it says under "U.S embassy Helsinki, Finland" that only if I, the applicant, was previously married, a divorce decree should be brought to the interview.

Five months ago my fianc and I filed for a K-1 visa me being the beneficiery. I have been discussing about the unpredictable processing times and prolonged EAD process with my boss and today she had a call with a lawyer and some people from our US parent company and they were laying out the option of applying for a L-1B visa for me.

If I would qualify and decided to let the company apply for me, what would happen to my K-1 visa application? I was told that L-1 processing time is around 8-12 weeks, which sounds unbelievable as I am prepared to wait another 5 months for my K-1 visa to get to a point where I could move to US. The L-1 visa would seem to remove all the worries of having to wait for the EAD and not knowing when I am able to get back to work. Yet I am scared that if I withdraw my K-1 application for this and for some reason my L-1 application is denied I would have to start this process all over again.

Can I leave my K-1 as it is and withdraw it if I receive my L-1? The lawyer should be looking into this but I thought I d ask here while I wait him to get back to us.

Hi everyone,

I have a PR card and I understand that I can stay abroad for a maximum of 6 months without the absence affecting naturalization timeline.

I left the US late August last year and so I should travel back in late February the latest. While the primary reason for returning back home was a health concern, the terrible COVID-19 situation in the US also affected my decision. However, my intention was always to come back within 6 months as my health improves. Now, the COVID-19 situation isn't any better and it's making me question what I should do. Then the coup attempt happened and I wonder if I should be worried about the potential for civil war.

Am I insane if I return to the US at this point? Should I willingly postpone my naturalization?

I have a job offer waiting for me but I haven't signed anything, yet. They would like me to start as soon as possible.

Hi! Just wondering if anyone has had this happen before - had my interview exactly a week ago. CO gave verbal approval and said to wait a week for an email from the embassy with instructions to retrieve my passport.
So far the CEAC status has been ready even after the interview and I ve had two date changes but the status has stayed the same (no issued status unfortunately). Today however, I keep getting an error message could not find application .
Should I be worried? I ve checked multiple times and the case number is definitely correctly entered. Should I call the embassy or just be patient?

This might be a silly question to ask but do you guys know if the NVC acknowledges that they have received an expedite request? And furthermore, do they always approve or deny it? I haven t heard anything about the expedite: no approval nor denial or any kind of receipt . I m just wondering if there s any way to know if they have gotten it.

I d appreciate any insight! And thanks to all the kind and knowledgeable people who answer questions here. You guys make it a lot easier on us!
