Green Card Lottery and other US Visas

Hello! Long time lurker and only recently actually joined this page. So many of you have such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all of these complex immigration programs and how to deal with very specific cases. My question is regarding how I could get my foot into an immigration career. Maybe helping or advising individuals on how to obtain certain visas/work permits. Maybe through organizations/governments/etc. I feel as though I have a DECENT but not AMAZING basis of knowledge on visa policies in different countries but only on a VERY superficial level. I would love to volunteer or just be around people who know about any process that involves human migration and the assistance that goes into it. I admit I am very naive. I would just love to get the opportunity to learn more about the immigration process. For context. I am currently DC/MARYLAND/VIRGINIA area right now. What would be some good starting points? I would even accept unpaid/volunteer work. I appreciate your ti...

Hello, I am a Canadian citizen getting married in September in the US to my American fiancé. I don’t have much family but I would love to bring my aunt who lives in Kuwait to the US to attend my wedding. Does anyone know if this is possible and how so? I would really appreciate any help! Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/kneeshigh [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/met5e5/how_to_bring_my_aunt_from_middle_east_for_my/

Hello, so i will be filing the I-130 form soon for my wife but because i live and work abroad i don't make enough money to reach the financial requirement. I will be asking my sister to file as a joint sponsor. I notice that I-130 is available to file online but I-864 is not. When would my sister file this form and how can she make sure it's attached to my petition submitted by /u/Roll7220 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/metppx/when_do_i_file_i864/

I'm a USC born and raised in New Zealand. My wife's I-130 application has just switched to "actively reviewing" so I'm expecting NOA2 any day now and as such, trying to get everything organized to make NVC as smooth as possible. I'm still living in New Zealand until I finish my college degree in November. My wife is also in college and we'll both finish at the same time. I'll move immediately after finishing my degree and hopefully (with a joint sponsor) my wife will be able to move shortly after me. As soon as the case moves to NVC I will pay the fees for AOS and IV and complete DS-260. I wouldn't complete I-864 until I arrange a Joint Sponsor, but when I do, will this be enough to prove intent to establish domicile? I registered to vote as soon as I was eligible and have voted in every federal and state election that I've been able to. I have a permanent mailing address I use in the U.S. which is where I will initially reside when I live...

Hoping to transfer from UK office to US office, please can somebody layout the steps and timelines of applying for a green card/citizenship from this? Do I also have to stay with the same company throughout this whole process? Can I also have a sibling sponsor visa application run concurrently with the work Visa?

Hi All, I hadn't submitted my i-693 along with my original packet of forms (1-130 & 1-485). Our case was approved recently and we are now waiting for an interview to be scheduled (not sure what that gap is!). However, since i hadn't completed my medical exam originally and when we got an update that our case was ready to be scheduled, I went ahead and got my i-693 completed. Not knowing when the actual interview might be, should I be mailing my i-693 to USCIS in the interim? If so, where should I mail? I'm concerned that if my interview gets scheduled later in the year, my i-693 might expire then. Thank you for any guidance you can provide in advance! submitted by /u/RishuNushi [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/meftou/can_i_submit_i693_while_waiting_for_gc_interview/
