US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi! My fiance is about to travel to the US with his visa and file his AOS after marriage. Is it necessary to complete Form G-325R (Biometric Information) when he enters the US through the POE with his visa? Law words hurt my brain, but from what we've read, it doesn't seem necessary as the I-94 he will receive upon entry would be classified as a "registration", and he was fingerprinted in his home country, but I want to be sure I'm understanding it correctly. If he does have to complete the form, we want to make sure we do that.

Please feel free to move this topic if it's in the wrong section, I wasn't quiiite sure where to put it.

Thank you in advance!!

Hello visa journey people

This coming Friday 25th April will be 6 weeks since our petition was approved and we received our I -797.

I've been following other people timelines to work out our timings as Ive sold my home and I plan on leaving my job once I have the money from the sale. All of this is really quite stressful on its own.

Even up until last week the NVC said they had not received our petition, and that it can take 2 to 6 weeks.

What is your experience of this?

Also from receiving your NVC case number how long until you could book your medical and interview?

I'm starting to get a bit nervous now.

Thank you visa journey community

Hi all,

Found out today that my biometrics have been scheduled for 9th May, so much sooner than I had expected!

The letter says as follows:

My UK passport has my maiden name, so I am assuming it would be a good idea to take our marriage certificate. Would that be enough?

If not, I could also get a credit card statement printed showing me as an authorised user with my married name. Unfortunately I'm yet to schedule an appointment with SSA to get my SSN name updated, otherwise would take that, and I don't think just over 2 weeks would be enough time to send off for and receive an updated SS card.

Thanks

Hi VJers,

I'm interested in hearing from those who have immigrated from the UK to the US and took student debt with them (specifically Student Finance England debt) and how to approached it.

Before moving, my repayments were taken straight from my pay at my last employer. My last pay was in January and since moving to the US in mid-January, I have no income, my husband (USC) is the current sole earner.

I'm aware that I should be updating my personal details with them, so that they can chase and rinse me for repayments keep their records up to date, but would like to hear about other's accounts before I move forward with it.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I m currently looking for some advice on navigating the U.S. visa process, and I d really appreciate any insights from those with experience.

My girlfriend and I have both dreamed of moving to LA for a long time, and we re finally looking into making it happen. Here s the situation: she s a U.S. citizen but has been living in the UK for several years/was born here. While marriage is definitely one potential route, we re not quite ready for that step yet and personally, I d prefer to explore moving via employment sponsorship (H-1B or similar) if possible.

I have a BA in Marketing and have several years of professional experience in the field (social media, brand, content, etc.), but I honestly have no idea where to even start looking for U.S.-based roles that might consider sponsoring international candidates.

If anyone has advice on where to look for these kinds of roles, or has been through something similar, I d be super grateful for any pointers!

Thanks so much in advance
