US Immigration from Vietnam

Hi everyone,

I know it is totally ok to file AOS after I-94 is expired. Recently, there were people who were arrested at their green card interview. I heard K1 visa holder among them. We filed the I-485 two weeks after I-94 expired. We are worried. I also heard people were detained while waiting for their green card interview. This is really frightening for people who come to this country with a k1 visa!

Hi All

I want to revisit a VJ topic "Vietnam Exit Visa - Child Born in VN w/USC" from the year 2015. My wife is thinking about having a baby in Vietnam. In my opinion I feel she is complicating the birth of an U.S. newborn in terms of visa and registering the birth. She wants to have the baby near her family in Vietnam since my side of the family in the U.S. won't be very reliable when comes to helping with the newborn when needed which I totally understand.

Based on this post in 2015, the recommended approach is Vietnamese citizenship and passport to exit then CBRA to enter U.S. with US Passport. Another option is a exit stamp with a US a passport. Since 2015, I am sure new Vietnamese immigration laws are in effect and old one got phased out so if this approach or new approach is still recommended for a newborn.

If anyone could share their recent experiences with the process of registering a newborn and exiting Vietnam and entering U.S. of an USC that would be great.

My fianc e has K-1 Visa already and she s about to fly over here in the upcoming week.

We are trying to expedite the process of getting a marriage cert using Utah online marriage due the fact we are on a time crunch (I m going to deploy real soon) and we already did a really big wedding ceremony (not on paperwork).

I m just wondering is that going to mess up our paperwork or anything by doing this route instead just do an official normal ceremony where I station at?

Hi everyone,

I and my fianc e got married within 90 days after she arrived in the US. We are not able to submit AOS package within 90 days of her i-94. We watched videos on Youtube about the AOS package with expired K1 visa. We are aware that we have to put out of status in question 14 part 1 page 3 and answer yes in question 76 part 9 page 21. Additionally, we have to clarify that she overstayed between date and date in part 14. Is that all that we have to do or we have to submit I-130 with our AOS package? Thank you so much!

Hi everyone,

I and my wife are filling out our I-485 application. We are not sure if we have a priority date in our I797C. Our I797C only has the received date. I do not see anywhere it says priority date. Is our priority date the received date? Should we put the received date in the priority date box in our I-485? Thank you so much.
