US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all,

My petition expires at the end of the month but there are currently no slots for me to schedule my interview at the embassy. I keep checking regularly though. How is the petition validated when after it expires? Does the embassy renew it automatically, do they need to be contacted or do I need to bring a letter?

Has anybody been in a similar situation where they have had their visa interview after their petition has expired and if so how long after the expiry date was it? I am anxious and worried about it as there was a delay in receiving my police certificate.

Hope you can help!

Hi Everyone,

I submitted my i751 application with divorce waiver about 2.5 years ago as I was divorced at the time.
I am getting re-married (to a different person) and would like to change my last name.

How do I do this?

Has this affected anyone in the past?
Thanks!

Morning! I don t know where to start this post as I can t find a Travel area. Sorry for that.

so, here I am, we arrived yesterday at Heathrow airport and stayed overnight at our hotel.

At the correct time I attempted to check in with Iceland air. First leg of the trip, to Iceland, fine. Second part of the trip they won t allow me to check in.

the message the app gives is about seeking permission to enter the USA first.

i went to a chat with an officer of Iceland air and she was very unhelpful, only say I can today go check in at the desk.

which means I will be one of the last ones to check in, in a possibly overbooked flight, and won t be able to order a meal either in advance.

I don t think they will ask for an ESTA visa just to travel?

we are going at 10 am for check in and flight is at 12:50.

wish me luck!

I just received notification six days before my ceremony that it has been cancelled. The letter says "at your request", which I certainly did not request. I was literally six days away from all of this being over and now I'm back in the queue with no idea of when it is going to be rescheduled too. I had family members reschedule trips at no small cost to be able to attend. This is unbelievably unprofessional and beyond a joke.

When I called to ask what was going on (saying Infopass was the only way to speak to a human) they told me they can cancel due to a "backlog" or officer case load. It's literally like they don't care about immigrants (who are about to be US citizens) at all.

Hi all,

Me again! Hoping someone can clarify a point for me again as I'm unable to locate anything online myself: my husband and I are now legally married, and are going to be getting our marriage license recorded with the county clerk later this week. What is the timeframe for us to apply for change of status for me before I'm forced to otherwise leave the US again? Is it still within the 90 day period the K1 visa covers, or?

If you could cite your sources, too, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
