US Immigration from United Arab Emirates

I'm already in the US now, on K1 to AOS process. Just noticed my completed DS 3025 copy I received has a "case or alien number" section where the panel physician has wrote my ds160 confirmation number instead of the WAC or my A number.

Would this be a problem? The form has my passport number, name, DOB and all. But would the USCIS officer be able to locate my medical without the WAC or A number typed on my DS 3025? I wonder if this technicality is going to give me an RFE for another medical? Damn hope not!

It's Dec 31st 2024. Few more hours to the New Year's. I'm sitting on a comfy couch, reading an interesting book, in a warm cozy living room while my beautiful hubby (I can officially call him that now!) is munching his dinner in the dining room.

And I can't help but think how this year started. On January 1st 2024, we both were miserable. Exhausted after a year and a half apart. 15 months to get our NoA 2 for our I-129f petition. Mr. Fiance at the time had to board his flight back to US. I had balled my eyes out earlier at the holiday family get together, only making it harder for him to leave. He still prefers to not recollect that horrible day.

And now we're back together, forever we say, and never again apart, we say. I'm a happily married Mrs now. I'm proud of us! For making it through this heart aching journey while our friends and family got married so easily around us.

We still got more of this... THIS! To do. We got the next AOS journey ahead. But it doesn't bother us anymore. We'll take it one step at a time. We're together. Life is sweet again. We'll be opening some happy drinks and welcoming the New Year tonight.

Wish you all a happy new year of marital bliss. We all have truly earned it!

My husband was LPA on F2A category when he applied for my GC and I received GC of 10 years. I have already completed almost 5years and have applied for my N400. My application is in processing. But, now I realise, was it a mistake that I was given a 10year GC instead of 2year?

Did anyone has same case around would like to know and was there any issues..

Hello members,

I received an automated email from the embassy prior to our immigration interview in a few days stating that my police clearance certificates have expired among other document required. I currently live in the UAE and have previously lived in India and Bahrain. The immigration website also mentions that a new police certificate is required if all of the following conditions are met:

1. I am more than 16 years old;
2. The police certificate was obtained more than two years ago;
3. I still live in the country that issued the certificate.

Since I currently reside in the UAE, I can provide a new police certificate from here. However, do I also need to obtain new certificates from India and Bahrain, even though I no longer live in those countries and have only visited and stayed briefly ( less than a month) after obtaining my original certificates? How would this impact my visa process timeline if new certificates are required?

Hi every one

I got my permanent residence card (green card) in 2012 and got married in my country in 2013. Due to the fact that I was not be in the US for six months every year for the next 10 years, I could not apply for citizenship, so I renewed my green card in 2022. It is worth to mention that once in 2015, I applied for a marriage visa (i-130) for my wife and stepdaughter but I could not be in US for that period of time, so although the marriage visa application was approved, it was invalidated over time. Now that after 12 years I want to apply for a marriage visa for my wife and stepdaughter to live with me in the US, but I found out that one of the conditions for applying for a marriage visa is that "spouses must not be outside the US for more than 2 years but I have been outside the US for more than two years, so I cannot apply for an alien marriage visa.

If I understood correctly, please guide me how to bring my wife and adopted daughter to US?
