    DV Lottery of K1 Visa - Can I file for both?
    I applied for the DV lottery 2025 and hope to be selected this year. My fiancé and I discovered that there is a fiancé visa for the USA. Do you think if we apply for the K1 visa but are selected for the DV lottery that we can stop the fiancé visa process? What are the timelines and options here :)?

    Tourist visa cancelled by CBP agent.  Can we still get a CR1 or K1 Visa?
    Upon my gf's most recent arrival, her tourist visa was cancelled at the airport due to her frequent visits last year and suspicion of working here. She was denied entry and sent back same day. Is a CR1 or K1 visa process an option still? I would appreciate any advice or tips you can provide!

    How AI is revolutionizing Internet fraud and romance scams

    Seems like this could be related to international relationships and immigration.

    How AI is revolutionizing Internet fraud and romance scams

    Federal investigators warn that a new wave of romance scammers is using artificial intelligence to generate fake photos, audio, and even videos. This technological advancement makes it easier to pull off a romance scam and harder to spot one.

    Rao said, "It's chilling and it makes it hard for law enforcement to intervene."

    Prosecuting romance scammers can be challenging, in large part because many of them operate overseas. However, federal prosecutors have shown they will pursue cases aggressively when they have the opportunity. In 2021, 35 people in North Texas were indicted on federal charges related to romance scams that stole $17 million from more than 100 victims nationwide. In March, one of the women involved in the scheme received a 10-year prison sentence and was ordered to pay $2 million in restitution.

    If you have become a victim, experts say to contact your bank right away and tell them what happened. Also, report the crime to the Federal Trade Commission.

    Does everyone receive the same Immigrant Visa package upon issuance or will it vary depending upon the case? Once they issue the Immigrant Visa will I need to immediately pay for the Green Card on the website or should it be paid after arriving to the USA?

    We had our interview on 19th March 2024. The officer gave us a 221g slip and ticked on the documents she asked us to submit. She also ticked on the box which said to send passports via courier. After that our visa status showed refused. We submitted all the ticked documents on 15th April. Our case was updated on 23rd April but still showed refused. It got updated and on 25th april but still shows refused. Any idea why?

    Fiancee was born and grew up in a small town (Hau Giang) and can't find her immunization records and have not had any immunizations lately (besides Covid vaccines). Will she be required to take 10+ vaccinations before the upcoming scheduled interview date?

      Hello Leslie,
       
      I was looking at your timeline and saw you sent in form I29F after filing the i130. It seems that everything went so quick for your process. Do you think sending in the i29F is worth it and might speed up the i130? 
      What steps can you suggest ?
       
      Thank you!

      Hey Shawnk, I am in a similar situation as you with my timelines. Someone recommended the same process as you mentioned to get a dual working visa. Do you have more detail on what dual intent working visa entails? What do i need to prove to get one.
       
      Thanks!!
