US Immigration from United Kingdom

CR1 marriage based visa to USC. I am currently at the stage where I have my medical and interview date in February 2026.

I was born in Nigeria and came to the UK when I was 3yrs old. I have been living in the UK ever since and also have UK citizenship and British passport which I have used with an ESTA to travel to the states to visit my Husband a few times a year since mid 2022. We also applied for the marriage based green card via my British Passport.

With this new Travel ban Nigeria has been put on the partial ban list.

Would being born there and having dual UK and Nigerian citizenship stop them from issuing my visa? Me and my Husband are extremely worried

From what I can see it says Dual citizens where one of the citizenship is not on the ban list are fine to enter USA as long as you travel with the passport from unbanned country. But what about being issued a green card? Does being a UK citizen and having British passport save me?

Hello forum friends,

Anyone able to figure out what is happening here:

So I filled my I-485, my I-765 and my I-131 all together.

I have receipts for my I-485 and I-765 but my I -131 came back today rejected.

It has been rejected because the payment amount does not match the required amount

I did not include any payment due to the USCIS website stating Do not pay the immigration parole fee when you submit Form I -131 to USCIS. Beginning on Oct 16 2025, if you are in the United States and we determine that we can approve your request for parole or

re parole and that it requires payment of the immigration parole fee, we will notify you that you must pay this fee before we can approve the request.

So I m confused however my I-485 is being processed, I m thinking is it worth spending $1000 for the parole fee or should I just wait till my green card is approved? ( which hopefully it will be)

Anyone any experience of this to advise me further?

thank you
Lesley

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?

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!
