Hi everyone,
I’m in a long distance relationship and recently we’ve talked about moving in together. We both don’t know much about visas and what the process would be.
I want to know everything.
What would be the best way to go about this?
How long does it usually take?
Anything else I should be thinking about?
Does current employment matter?
We do want to get married. What is the 90 day process like?
Any information helps
Thank you!

To go and represent our great nation abroad and come back home and give back to our community. I know this might be too much to ask from you but i would really appreciate if you guys would help me out
Unfortunately I was born in a country that rhymes with I ran.
I need to travel to Europe for a couple of weeks for work. Given the current situation, I’m worried about being questioned or given trouble when entering back into the US.
Mga kabaro magtatanong lang sana ako regarding sa pagdala ng fleshlight sa bagahe pag join sa US port. Bawal po ba magdala nun dahil mahigpit ang US ngayon o consider sya na harmless toy lang naman and allowed naman?
I’ll explain a little my situation: in 2001 when I was 11 my parents took me to the US under a tourist Visa (visa waiver program), and we ended up staying for almost 5 years. We left the country in 2006, I was 16. Last year I decided to apply for a tourist visa and it got approved on the first try.
Now I have a trip plan to Orlando for August and I’m getting a bit anxious as to what to expect when going through customs. What kind of questions do they ask?
And how likely do you think this overstay is to cause concern, even though it was fully disclosed during the visa application process?
Hi all! I go to the US very frequently on an ESTA (European passport) and I was looking to upgrade to a B1/2. Mainly so that I can stay longer. Any experience with that?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have a question about applying for a U.S. B1/B2 tourist visa.
I was married to a U.S. citizen, and we applied for a CR-1/IR-1 spousal immigrant visa in 2024. Unfortunately, our case was terminated because we couldn’t provide some of the required documents. My case never reached the interview stage at the U.S. Embassy.
If I apply for a tourist visa now, will the U.S. Embassy still have my previous spousal visa application in their records?
Also, do I realistically have any chance of getting a tourist visa to visit my husband in the U.S., or is it likely to be denied because of my previous immigrant visa application?
Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.
Hi all,
I’m currently a master’s student, and my program will finish in August. I’m planning to work on OPT for one year and hopefully start working in September. Around November, my dependents are planning to apply for an F2 visa to come and visit me here.
I wanted to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation before. Were your dependents able to get an F2 visa and come to the U.S. while you are in your OPT? What are the chances of getting an F2 visa nowadays?
I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences, any challenges you faced, or any advice you may have.
Thanks!
I filed I-129F packet, I received the I-797C receipt notice on June 17,2026, and my SRC receipt number works on the USCIS case status website. However, until now, when I try to add the case to my USCIS online account, I received the message “There was an error syncing your case”. The case has never been linked to any online account. What should I do?
I (Us citizen) have been living in EU for the past 3 months (kept residency in US), and planned a 2-weeks vacation in US this summer with my boyfriend. We will be traveling to the US together and landing in Chicago O’Hare
He has applied for ESTA a few days ago, and he disclosed me as point of contact in the US.
We are worried that when he goes through customs, they might question his intent in the US, because traveling with a USC girlfriend with US residency, despite having flight tickets and reservations.
Should we do two separate lines? Me, Global Entry, and him line with officer for ESTA travelers?
Or would it be better that I go with him? If I am allowed to go through ESTA line, yet.
Should he disclose that he’s traveling with my and specify I am his girlfriend? Or just a friend?
How likely is that they request access to social media?
What other proofs beside tickets and reservations should we carry with us? Paycheck etc.
We booked all the hotels and flight. The very last thing we want is to have his entry denied and lose all the reservations, and the excitement for our first trip in the US together.
Location: Georgia, USA. Hello everyone, I am posting anonymously to ask for urgent logistics and legal guidance for a close acquaintance.
A Honduran national currently living undocumented in the United States has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. They want to fly back to Honduras to spend their remaining time with their family. They currently hold a valid, unexpired Honduran passport.
Our primary concerns are:
**TSA/Airport Security:**Will they encounter issues using a Honduran passport to pass through TSA security for a flight departing from a major airport?
**Exit Logistics:**Does the U.S. government actively block undocumented individuals from leaving the country at the airport gate, or is the penalty strictly on the *re-entry*side? (We know leaving will trigger a multi-year ban, but they do not intend to return).
We are also worried about ICE detention.
Their flight is tomorrow. Any and all help is deeply appreciated.
I applied for an O1 visa as consular processing. It was denied with reason stated 214(b) but I am guessing it was most probably due to my arrest record. I was arrested due to an argument with a very bad roommate during my PhD years (a guy but local law still says DV). The case was dismissed (not prosecuted) by the DA. My O1 application remained stuck on 221g processing for more than 6 months and then got denied. Complete unfortunate situation for me in summary.
The company that sponsored my O1 for wants me to try for visa again.
My sister going to go for f2b visa immigrants from Jordan

Hi yall! I hope yall are doing well. Thank you in advance for answering my questions.
From my understanding, the new rule that will be implemented will enforce a 4-year duration of status regardless of the program’s length or the prior I-20 expiration date. I have my I-20 valid until 2027, but I have been in my program for 4 years already.
I am planning for a trip this summer, presumably from end of July to end of August. Some say that the new rule will be in effect from September.
I submitted my application for extension to stay but that takes months before processed, so I don’t think it will be done before my trip.
Both VISA and I-20 are valid for my trip, but I just worry if the new rule will result in me not being able to return to the US. May I ask how you assess my situation? Will I be safe if I return before end of August/ 1st September, before the rule is implemented?
Thank you so much!!!

Hi everyone, I’m from Turkey (25F) and I’m planning to apply for a U.S. visa, but I’ve been denied twice before—once when I was a student, and once later on. Now, my family owns a large business, and I’m financially stable, but the last time, the officer barely looked at my documents and just denied me. I really want to make a stronger case this time. Do you have any tips on what kind of purpose I should emphasize—like a specific event or how I can prove strong ties to Turkey? I’d really appreciate any advice!
Merhaba herkese, ben Türkiye’denim (25F) ve bir ABD vizesi başvurusu yapmayı planlıyorum, ama daha önce iki kere reddedildim—bir kere öğrenci olduğum zaman, bir kere de daha sonra. Şu an ailem büyük bir şirket sahibi ve finansal olarak oldukça sağlam durumdayım, fakat geçen sefer, memur belgelerime bile bakmadan reddetti. Bu sefer gerçekten daha güçlü bir gerekçe sunmak istiyorum. Hangi tür bir amaç vurgulamam gerektiği konusunda—mesela belirli bir etkinlik, ya da Türkiye’ye güçlü bağlarımı nasıl kanıtlayabileceğim—herhangi bir tavsiyeniz varsa, çok minnettar olurum!
I am currently on a J2 visa accompanying my spouse who is a resident physician. Last year I accidentally worked for 2 months while waiting for my EAD renewal and I quit working upon realising that there is no automatic extension. So I resumed work after received my EAD. This year I got my EAD renewed and it’s valid until June 2027. Has anyone been in similar situation? Any advice would be helpful. I plan to travel to my home country for a family emergency and would need to go to the consulate to renew my visa. Later my spouse plans to adjust status and apply for green card. USCIS website states that unauthorised employment will be given under 245 (k) if the violation is <180 days and there is no misrepresentation. I’m worried about the DS 160 form as it asks if you have ever violated the terms of the visa? Has anyone been in a similar situation on a J2 visa and marked yes to that question and gotten their visa approved?
My husband and I applied for our I-485 Adjustment of Status last July under the EB-1B category through his employer. We received our EAD and Advance Parole travel documents in December 2025.
On May 21, we attended our marriage/visa interview at the San Diego Field Office. My husband’s Green Card was approved the very next day, but my derivative application is still showing as pending.
We have an urgent need to travel internationally for a couple of weeks. I would highly appreciate insight on the following scenarios:
Scenario A: Is it safe for me to travel and re-enter the U.S. using my approved Advance Parole document while my I-485 is pending, given that the primary applicant is already approved?
Scenario B: What happens if my Green Card is approved while I am outside the U.S.? Can I still use my Advance Parole document to board the flight and re-enter, or does the approval invalidate the AP?
Or any other valid scenario that I missed.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hello everyone!
I will be starting a PhD program at Texas. I plan to attend San Diego Comic-Con, which takes place few days before I am allowed to enter the USA with my student visa. I already have a valid B-2 tourist visa, and I would like to know whether the following plan would be permissible:
Enter the U.S. from Mexico using my B-2 visa to attend San Diego Comic-Con.
Depart the U.S. by land once the event ends.
Re-enter the U.S. by land later that same day using my F-1 status to travel to Texas.
As additional context, I attended San Diego Comic-Con last year as well. At that time, I entered the U.S. through another state before traveling to San Diego, so I did not cross directly into San Diego.
Has anyone had experience with a similar situation, or are there any immigration implications I should be aware of when changing from B-2 entry to F-1 entry in this way?
Thank you for any insights.
