Congratulations!  And very well done on your choice of field for education and work.  We desperately need good people in law enforcement.  My husband was in business banking in NZ for 30 years before coming to the US, and it had always been a goal of him to work in law enforcement.  He's now on his 3rd promotion/2nd agency locally.  Best wishes for your future.

Thank you so so much and big congratulations to you and your husband 

Hey Guys,

Wanna say a big thank you to y'all for seeing me through my journey, from my proxy marriage till visa in hand. 

September 19, I'll be one year in the United States. 

I also got accepted to study Criminal Justice With a concentration in Homeland Security/Counterterrorism.... 

Thank you so much VisaJourney for never getting tired of answering questions ☺️

Utah marriage is very recognized. I did it and I’m in the states. 

I got married through Utah zoom marriage and I already have my Immigrant Visa in hand. As long as you consummated, the marriage is legal for immigration purprses. You'll be fine 

I'm in Nigeria btw

it just means no one has updated the system and they will when the visa is printed 

it will then say "issued"

Oh okay, just weird that my case was updated again today and still "Ready". 

It should be "Issued" soon hopefully

Hi Everyone, 

I just had my interview at Lagos, July 27, 2022. I was approved and given the pamphlet and my visa pick-up sheet. My case still shows "Ready". It updated again today still "Ready"

I don't know what that means. 

Lies from the pit of hell. No fees whatsoever!

Sir, you got the cr1 visa already. I will make it to USA with or without her concern. When you reach here change the address on USCIS website and put an address where your greencard will be mailed to. Atleast that's what I will do if I am in this situation.

Thankfully they settled, he wouldn't need to change anything. Love conquers all!

I have no idea, I will ask my wife if she did pay while doing the USCIS filing initially because she said she ticked for the GC to be mailed as soon as I arrived the US.

What your wife ticked is the SSN card not the green card. If you haven't paid for your green card, it won't be mailed out.

What specific services/guides can people recommend for getting married online?

 

My girlfriend (UK) and I (Texas) have looked at our options and decided that we want to get married and file for a Spousal Visa.
Looking it up online I see a few different websites but want to know if anyone on these forums can vouch for their validity / say which online services or guide they used for their confirmed immigration case.
Has anyone used MarryFromHome? I apologize if this goes against some advertising or promoting policy that I am unaware of.

We are going to meet up together in some third country for our honeymoon as soon as we can after our marriage to file as soon as possible, which would just mean we need our marriage certificate correct?
Since we are going to meet up so soon after getting married, would it be better to / could we even get married via zoom whilst we were both outside the US on our honeymoon?

Online marriage seems fine (Utah or zoom or however it is done) as long as you meet up afterwards which are going to, but the process and legality is a tad intimidating and would appreciate if there was someone that could help push us in the right direction.

Best you use Utah marriage county. 

You won't be able to file until after consummation.
