We applied for social security under k-1. It's been 3 weeks. Has anyone had a problem getting it? It seems to me this is taking to long. POE was May 23, 2018

Hello folks,

is there any chance to start applying in advance? Obviously that the oath event will happen earlier than I-129F review process...
Why I think so - when you apply for citizenship based on 5 years Green Card, you can start applying after 4,75 years of residence. That...

Hello

I travelled to the US on a F-1 visa to complete a graduate and to try to live with my boyfriend of 4 years. He now proposed and I will complete the graduate in a little less than a year. I noticed the K-1 process is about 8 months and that the longest part is to get the full approval...

My fiance entered the US 09/19/17 on a K-1 visa. We married on 10/20/17. ( within the 90 days required) I was low on funds and just today was ready to pay the 1,200 to file the I-485. I think I made a huge mistake!! It states that I was to file within 90 days of the marriage. Will they accept my...

I have already submitted a full package for I-129f for my Thai fiance and waiting approval to get K-1. We are going to get married in Thailand legally in 2 weeks, long before I expect K-1 approval. Do I need to change and submit the forms for k-3 or could I just continue with K-1 since we have 3 months...

Good afternoon!

My husband is from Iraq (Kurdistan region) and came to the US on the K-1 visa in March 2016. We were married that April and submitted all our paperwork on June 4, 2016 via our lawyer. Our field office is San Antonio which seems to have faster processing times than Houston....

I am getting married on August and plan to bring my spouse afterwards. On my research, I figured that we have two options. Option 1 to bring her on K1 Visa and marry here. Or option 2, marry in India and file I-130 and apply for K3 Visa. Please let me know which would be the fastest of the two to bring...
