Green Card Lottery and other US Visas

Hello, thanks for landing here. I am on advanced parole (adjustment of status), with a valid travel parole card. I was previously an F1 student and graduated in 2020; however my visa doesn’t expire until 2023. Normally, if I was still a student, I would be allowed into Mexico. But now that I am no longer a student, can I use this visa to go to Mexico? Keep in mind I do not have an updated F1 paper anymore. Thank you so much in advance. submitted by /u/talalam [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/rubn19/no_longer_student_no_f1_paper_with_visa_that/

My mother was born in America and lived there for 2 years before moving to Ireland. She later went back for a summer to complete her SATs when she was 18. My grandmother is also a US citizen and lived there for 10+ years. Both have US passports. I am a 24 year old Irish/British citizen. It’s my dream to move to America but I’m unsure if I can claim citizenship. I’ve been told I can by some people but I’m unsure if I can having done some research. Anyone with any advice or experience in this area would be greatly appreciated.

US Immigration I've previously travelled many times to the US via the VWP program previously. So this time at the POE, the CBP officer asked me how long I am staying for and I said "2 weeks". However, I realise now my flight is actually on the 16th day so I am actually staying for 2 weeks and 2 days technically. It was very early in the morning and I was running on 2 hours of sleep so I messed up answering this question it seems. I wasn't trying to lie or anything, I genuinely made a mistake. Would this cause future problems? I had a return flight booked of course before reaching the POE so I'm thinking maybe the CBP officer would have been able to see that I was staying for 2 weeks and 2 days so I assume if it was an issue, they would have raised it at the POE. But I don't know. submitted by /u/PEEL333 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/rtno06/will_this_be_an_issue/

After researching a bit, it seems like it's impossible to get PR ( Green Card ) as a Indian because of long H1b wait times. What do you think? Is there any other way through which I can get Green Card? Or should I look into other countries like Canada ? submitted by /u/Particular_Ad_1821 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/rtm3vh/how_difficult_is_to_get_pr_green_card_as_a_indian/

I am thinking of switching my job, mainly because of green card sponsorship. Long story short I start at my current position 2 years ago and my company is telling me they used the job description for the position above for my PERM and now I have to wait till I get a promotion so they can file the I-485 (I already have a approved I-140). My manger said he will try push for a promotion this coming review cycle in July. But not the current cycle in Feb. Even then a promotion is not guaranteed. So I have been thinking of switching to a different company that is willing to hire me and then sponsor a green card right away. I understand they will have to restart the whole process again but at least my green card will not be tied to my promotion. But there is another issue, my H1B expires in 2022 so my current employer will have to apply for a extension. Is it a good idea to switch jobs in this position? Also what are your thoughts on the whole green card situation? submitted by /u/R...

Hello, me and my fiancée recently got engaged and are wanting to start the process with the K1 visa for me to move over to the US. I know time scales can’t be exact, but we are wondering is anyone has recently been through the whole process and could give us an estimate of the full process. Any replies would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!! submitted by /u/dangerman97 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/rtkxgs/k1_visa_application_time_scale/

So I paid 190$ DS-160 fees without realizing how bad the situation is WRT getting a dropbox slot. I am on an H1b visa in America and it is valid till July of next year. I have an approved I-797 that is valid till 2024. I think my DS-160 fees are valid for an entire year. I am already in America. What happens if I stay put here in the country till 2023 when I can find a slot easily. I can renew my driver's license using my I-797 in New Jersey right? I don't think my landlord has ever checked my visa. I don't think I would be breaking any law by not getting the stamping done. With the whole Covid thing, I actually detest the whole idea of taking a 24-hour flight halfway across the world to see my parents who I see almost every day on WhatsApp anyways. Even my lawyer told me that it is not necessary for me to exit the country after the visa expires. submitted by /u/throwback656 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/rtkkc4/paid_t...
