*Recorded before the May 27, 2026, USCIS Adjustment of Status Policy Memo Update. From fiancé visa to U.S. citizenship immigration attorney John Khosravi breaks down the entire marriage-based green card journey in one video. Using real receipt notices from recently filed cases, he walks you through every stage: the I-129F fiancé visa and I-130 marriage petition, National Visa Center processing, embassy interviews, adjustment of status, biometrics, the conditional green card, I-751 removal of conditions, and finally the N-400 naturalization application. He also covers current complications including the 39-country travel pause, administrative processing delays, and political factors affecting timelines as of May 2026.
