Visa Interview Advice

Hello everyone. I could use some advise and a sounding board for a few concerns I have for my fianc and I K1 visa application.

Short backstory and feel free to ask me to expand on anything that more detail helps:

Backstory

We met online on international cupid back in 2017. We were online friends for about a year until we realized we were only talking to each other and we were seeming and acting like couple. We continued to talk and began making plans to meet after I finished my college degree. Then Covid-19 hit. I am from the US and she, while Filipina, lives in Japan. We stayed together through the Covid mess. Once Japan opened its borders, I visited her four times since May 2023.

Troubles

My fianc got in trouble in 2014ish when she visited her now ex husband on a tourist visa to Japan. The ex wound up in the hospital (heart attack resulting in surgery) and she overstayed her visa to be with him and wound up being picked up by Japanese immigration. She was never deported and wound up marrying her ex husband and was allowed to stay in country on a special visa for three years. However when it came time to renew her visa in 2018 (she had already separated from her husband by the time we met online) she was told she would need to self deport her self for a year and then she could reapply. She did that and has been an upstanding resident in Japan ever since. She got her divorced done a year ago (aug 2023) and we got engaged Jan 2024 right before we filed the 129F.

On the K1 visa application she answered yes to "Have you EVER been arrested, detained, or cited by the police or any other law enforcement officer?" question.

The concern is what kind of bearing will that have on the decision process? She does have her previous passport which shows the voluntary deportation and her current passport does show lawful readmittance to Japan.

She is so worried that will cause problems. If anyone has thoughts or advice, I would be very thankful for it.

She has a K1 visa interview scheduled for early Oct at the US Embassy in Tokyo and I have made plans to be there with her if allowed to wait in the embassy while she attends the appointment.

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Hello, I am a J1 visa holder who needs a waiver for the adjustment of status. However, it is only my 2nd year as an exchange visitor here in the US. Does anyone know here if I can already apply for the No Objection Statement (NOS)? Is there anybody here who can help me? Thank you in advance.

Waiver for J1 visa holder

Hello, I am J1 visa holder with my J2s (daughter 19, son 10, husband).

I was approved po for EB-2 NIW before our first year anniversary here in the US. This is my 2nd year as a teacher.

Since I have a green card approval, I am interested to adjust our family status. However, I need to comply my 2-year home residency or get a waiver for me to adjust our status.

Since this is only my 2nd year, I don't think that it's appropriate to apply for a waiver at this time for me to adjust our status. May I know your thoughts on this?

My daughter will turn 20 this year and 21 in year 2025.

Does anybody here can give me guidelines on how my daughter can adjust her status before she reach 21?

Thank you I advance for your advices.

N600 or n400

Hello,

Seeking advice on which I should be submitting the n400 or n600. My mom and dad are both U.S. citizens by naturalization. My mom became a U.S. citizen in 1986. I was 13 at that time and I've had my permanent residence ( green card ) since I was 3 years old since 1976. My parents never applied for my U.S. citizenship leaving me to do it myself. My question is do I file for n600 or n400 for naturalization since I'm way past 18 years old?

ROC with an adult child (Came in with K1 and K2 visas)

ROC with adult child question.

I am applying for an ROC this September.

I am confuse cause someone on VJ said that the adult child should apply for a separate ROC.

My child came here with me when she was 19 years old on a K1 and K2 visa. I applied for AOS and I included her in my petition. Our GC got approved and we have the same 2 year GC expiration. From what I understand is even if the child is not a minor anymore, as long as the child arrived with the parent and the parent included the child on the AOS petition, got the GC at the same time, the parent can include the adult child in the ROC petition.

Is there someone with the same situation here who recently filed for an ROC? Thanks.
