Questions about medical w/ previous Self Harm

My husband is currently in UK, im in US.

My husband has had self harm from 2014 when he was young. He stated he was in Cahms, then to adult psychiatry team, and was discharged in 2018. He hasn't had any instances of SH since 2014/2015. They aren't deep, they're on the top of his arm. He's worried because of these, and the fact that they might take it as harmful behavior since he hasn't taken medication/therapy for it as he didn't need it.

We have a letter from his GP about it stating that he's in a much better place, full time work, and managing well. That he remains on no medications, no thoughts of SH/Suicidal ideation, and poses no risk of harm to himself or others. That relapse is unlikely.

We're planning on him getting another letter from a private Psychiatrist to be safe, and potential letters from people he knows that hes stable, etc.

Is this enough evidence? Is there anything else that he'd need?

Advice Needed

Hello guys,
Will it negatively affect my I-130 case, that I had gotten a K1 visa, got married in the US on the 4th of September, and had filed for AOS and EAD, then 2 days ago I had to fly home before receiving my GC or any AP (I know this is classed as abandonment of the I-485 and I-765 applications)?
I have not yet started the I-130 process.
My husband and I are looking into options. I did not 'want' to leave the USA, but there was a situation, and we are now back at square one.
Thank you.

hi all,

We came to the USA with a K1 visa in June 2024. Adjustment of status paperwork sent in August 2024 after wedding.

Finally in August 2025 ( a year later and right after Tump changed the law) we get asked to attend the interview for the Green card in mid September, which we do, bringing up to date proof of marriage, or living together etc

Officer talks positively about next steps and gaining citizenship. Interview all positive. Husband is a lawyer and was careful to provide every possible needed document to prove we are who we are. Officer takes them with a smile.

In September, my teen gets the USCIS email 'We have taken action on your case'

We log in and for months all we see is that they are looking at the 485 form. Until this morning.

Today we both got the USCIS email 'We have taken action on your case'

I log in as her and I get 'Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS - As of December 11, 2025, your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number XXX s still being processed'

I log in into my account and it says nothing. I cannot see my files, my progress, my history, my timeline - only the option windows for an appointment or other tasks. This has happened before and then my progress was then restored, and now missing again.

Gemini thinks 'this could indicate the officer has finished their review and the case is moving toward the final adjudication process.'

I am letting you know about this so you are aware that not all Green card interviews guarantee an immediate release of explanations, Green Cards or requests for documents.

We are dealing with the Centennial Colorado centre.

Good luck everyone!

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories

This is the NBC article but there are plenty of others.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/foreign-tourists-five-years-social-media-history-customs-border-protec-rcna248337

Please note that this will apply to entry using the VWP.

The NYT is a lot more in-depth but behind paywall. Saw discussions about it last night.

It would consist of downloading an App to your phone.

Uploading a photograph.

Filling out an extensive new type of ESTA form which would include as mandatory:

5 years of any social media accounts.

10 years of email accounts, address listings, and phone numbers.

Names and demographic information for wife, kids, parents, siblings regardless of if they are traveling with you.

Business phone numbers, addresses, and other information.

The memorandum is here https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22461.pdf

Awaiting I-130 Approval and Moved From U.K. to Australia
10:45 am December 9, 2025

Hello - This one is quite complicated so bear with me on it.

My wife (US citizen) and I (U.K. citizen) submitted an I-130 in January 2025 from the U.K. but as of December 2025 have moved to Australia as a stopgap between moving to the states. We anticipate the I-130 to be approved at some point between March and May 2025 but as we all know, nothing is certain. We both have jobs in Australia, leased accommodation and a visa that expires December 2026.

For the NVC stage, I understand that we could move this to the Sydney embassy but it may be quicker for us to get approved through London instead - I anticipate the interview could be as early as July 2025.

My mother-in-law will be a joint sponsor and my wife has maintained her tax records, bank accounts, voting and other ties to the states.

Questions:

  • Am I still able to do the NVC stage via the London embassy? I believe I am still classed as a resident in the U.K. but I do not have a U.K. address (but I do have access to my parents home).
  • If I were to travel from Australia to the UK for the NVC stage, my wife would prefer to go to the US at this point, would this be possible?
  • Has anyone done this before, where they're a temporary resident in another country and traveled back to the country of application submission?
  • The address where I applied for the I-130 is no longer where I or any family members live, do I need to inform the USCIS of this? I know I should change the address but I am reluctant to do this without the advice of this forum.

Any sort of clarity would be helpful.
