With the K-1 Visa I feel like you are letting the U.S. government decide for you if you can marry the foreign person. I find that way to much power being given to the government and it is intrusive.
My husband petition me back 2015 with a CR1 spousal visa ,and it took 8 mos with the whole process. It was crazy and overwhelming but thank god I was able to come to the US . We’re happily married for 6years and been together for 7years ! I wish everyone that’s doing the process a success in petitioning there partner and success in there marriage as well ! Godbless everyone
Thanks for this. My fiancé is a Japanese citizen, but had work and education visas in the past here in the USA. She’s fluent in English too. We are deliberating which option is best. Japan is rough with travel access right now due to Covid
I’m in the same situation but with my boyfriend. He plans to propose (very soon) but we are not sure as to where to go because he is under a J1 visas that is till next year
Same situation with me. She is from Japan here teaching Japanese in schools, fluent in English. The whole process is very confusing and it worries me. Trying to figure it out.
I'm not sure about this, but I have been told a fiancee visa you can not fly back to your country until you receive your green card, where as a spousal visa she can fly home if needed because she will get the green card earlier,,,,,,,,,,,
Can you Travel to USA while in The proces of obtaining visa on other types of visa like esta or tourist visas? I understand That k-1 visa does not allow you to leave US untill you obtain green card?
Same we did CR1 visa takes littlebit longer but is worth it just like me im getting get annulment before ican married mygod lots of struggles but god is good ds may 9 im flying to US🙏🙏🙏💯💯

Check this out. I knew this guy who met a Filipino girl working in Thailand online. He went to Thailand a couple of times and stayed several weeks. He married the girl in Thailand and applied for a spousal visa for her at the US Embassy. In the meantime, he returned alone to the US. Unfortunately, he became ill with a form of leukemia and died here in America. The visa was still being processed at the time of his death. She still wants to come to America and his family wants her to live with them, but it seems that once the Embassy learned of his death, they seemed to have stopped the visa process. Interesting situation..

it must be a valid, legal marriage recognized by the law wherever it was performed. it doesn't have to be in the usa or the partner's home country. anywhere at all. no polygamy whatsoever, however. my partner & i are also evaluating this option. it's a shame, this group makes decent videos but replies with the same thing for any question in the comments -.- wishing you & your love the best!
Is there a form i can submit for my fiancee if i live with her in another county. I am thinking of getting a work permit and waiting with her in her county as we wait for our visa
I 100% agree with that. CR1 - your spouse will have a their green card when the arrive and can find work. With th fiance visa, you will have to wait until 6 months after marriage before you can apply for change of status for your spouse. Time frame is about the same.
good depends on your status and income and. From day one of paperwork submitted today with tax returns etc, it's taken us SO FAR a year and a half. We are now waiting the next few weeks for them to the paperwork to the embassy, and once there, applying for it to be expedited. We're still not done. We're nearly there. But also possibly months away. Covid doesnt help
I was wondering if there is a minimum amount of time that I would’ve had to spend with my fiancé before applying? I’m traveling in the end of December to Nicaragua to see her. Also what is needed to include her son to bring him along as well?

Since the covid is going on do a person still have to be in the relationship 2years and meet in person a few times to get k-1 visa for the immigrate to get married
why apply for nonimmigrant visa for your spouse if it takes pretty much just as long as it'd take to obtain immigrant visa? only to have to wait for another year to get your green card?
Hi My wife from US! She applied for me at least 9 - 10 months. There is no any response from ambacy till now! Bro can you please tell me how much time it take??? I dont received any approval letter yet!

She has a second interview on January 24. We have all the information and we have more than enough proof. The thing is she is very shy and she freezes and cant explain all her answers correctly.

I'm gonna start with my proccess. I have one question about the children. My baby is still on my belly but will be born by november 26th. I'm wondering if my baby would need to be include in my petition because we are gonna get his CRBA as soon as he is gonna be born and thefefore obtain his US passport, under this case i don't think he will need to be include on the aplication? am i rigth? Also, my petitioner (the us citizen)has 4 incidents on his criminal background, all of them low level offenses, do you think that this will be a problem?
So, if “we” get married and apply for a CR1 visa. Could we live in her country as we wait? And then, once we get the visa and move to the States. Will she ever have problems going back to see her family?
Hello! I'm a US citizen living im Turkey for almost 2 yrs now. I got married in Turkey 3 yrs ago.

I just want my husband to meet my father who is 81 yrs old and can't travel. Are we filling out the wrong visa application?

Hello, I have one question,if I enter the US with CR1 visa but from my entry date if I have been married for 2 years or more will i get the 10 year GC instead of 2 years GC?Will CBP will change from CR1 to IR1?
What happens if my girlfriend doesn't have enough income for the k1? I have being reading some comments were they say you can be denied even with a co-sponsor (in my case will be my mother in law), but looks like that dosen't happens with the cr1 because the co-sponsor is important? is like that?
do you know if while a K1 visa is processing if an EU citizen can still enter the US with an ESTA? Or is entry not permitted during the time of processing? Thank you for any guidance you may be able to provide!
US citizens are naturally residents, and can petition. Non-citizens who do have residency CANNOT petition for their foreign fiancé. The lawyer in the video explains this many times.
Question? I filed for a K-1 form 129. It was received, but within 30 days we withdrew it. It was never processed. Does that still count as 1 filing for a 2 year period? And I have to wait?
My american fiance is planning to go for online wedding instead of K1 visa, so while waiting for this travel ban be gone, we could file a CR1, is this online marriage a legit? Thanks for the response?
Hi, very useful! Am I understanding correctly that if the US citizen lives abroad together with their spouse, the US citizen has to move back to the US in order to have a US domicile and be able to sponsor the CR1 for the foreign spouse? This would imply that during the whole CR1 process, the couple will have to live in different countries even tho they are married unless they file for a K3 which could take longer than the CR1, correct? Thank you
I'm not an expert, but I believe that is indeed correct. Even after you marry overseas, you have to be once again separated UNTIL approved. THEN, he/she can move to the US. Frickin' insane, eh?
@@SuperVladamere I'm now actually thinking of seeing whether my soon-to-be wife will just come and live in the US for 180 days after we marry (as a visitor), then after she returns overseas, where I might then stay with her there for some time, then I return to the US. Then, she once again visits the US for 6 mos. on a tourist visa, and so on and so on until the visa is approved. I REFUSE to wait any more time than necessary to be apart from my new wife due to the ridiculous red tape and outrageously lengthy time it takes for her to finally be permanently in the US. We'll do what it takes to remain together for as long as possible while waiting to be approved.
I had 2 approved F129 before for K1 more than ten years ago, and one K3 in 2017. Is it possible for me to do the waiver? What's the chance of being approved? Or I can't sponsor K1 again at all this time? Please help answer my question I appreciate it!

You gonna have to go to the licensing office once you arrive in America to register and while waiting for at least 30 days you are allowed to drive but must carry the document as proof that you applied the US driver's license
You mentioned that the couples should get married within 90 days. My question is, will it be 90 days after the issuance of visa or after the other landed the US? Thanks in advance for the response/s.

You need to met in person for things to be concrete for you to get approval without problems. Just wait. USCIS is probably slow as as a snail right now anyway.
i am from the UK and my fiancée is from USA . If we opt for the spouse visa, am i able to travel back and forth to visit my fiancée in the USA while the visa is processing?
@@ndchannel6704 so if i am a usa citizen and my spouse is from Tijuana Mexico a border city she cannot cross back and forth for both k1 and cr1 process? Thanks in advance :)
@@raulmellado3029 unless she has a visiting visa at hand if not ..she won't be allowed to travel back and forth , cause it will be assumed she's going to stay for good ..they will deny he /she the visa.
Yes absolutely, you can just as long you can provide solid 11% evidence that you have strict reasons to returning to the UK such as having assets, job, etc. But you have to make sure you give them enough proof you are indeed only visiting the US and need to go back to the UK. You're lucky too that you're from the UK where it's easier entering the US compared to many other countries which deny many tourist visa applicants.

If the US citizen is able to travel and marry overseas the CR1/IR1 is the best option imho.

They received my packet on November 2, 2020, for my k1 visa they still have cashed the cashier's check and I have not received notice of the i797 receipt. I call them and the automated system does not let me talk to an agent. What should I do?
Hi, I have a question, I havent work before in the us, Is that true that I have to show the income tax of the 3 last years when applying, that disappoint me a lot because It would take much time

What about the US consulate in Casablanca for k1 an appointment that then canceled the interview
Casablanca is tricky and a CR1 is usually the better option for this Consulate.
What if my foreign fiance is pregnant with my child? Should we do a K1 visa or should I get married before I leave to the states?

Yes I need ur help
I’m confused. So if you’ve been married before and now divorced, you can’t bring your fiancé to the US with K1 visa ? I’m lost.

I’m confused I’m Egyptian and my spouse is American what is best ?
Hello, question can I apply for a tourist visa while I have an on going CR1?
I dont think so..
It's criminal how long these take today!
what age is eligible of couples to get spouse visa from usa to india???
Hello, I have one question,if I enter the US with CR1 visa but from my entry date if I have been married for 2 years or more will i get the 10 year GC instead of 2 years GC?Will CBP will change from CR1 to IR1?
What happens if my girlfriend doesn't have enough income for the k1? I have being reading some comments were they say you can be denied even with a co-sponsor (in my case will be my mother in law), but looks like that dosen't happens with the cr1 because the co-sponsor is important? is like that?
Y Uscis take so long to approve case from March till now can’t get no results
do you know if while a K1 visa is processing if an EU citizen can still enter the US with an ESTA? Or is entry not permitted during the time of processing? Thank you for any guidance you may be able to provide!
I would presume yes I have an ESTA and it would just prove your commitment to your fiance going in and out of USA..

Can someone apply for CR1 visa if they’re a Newly wed ?
If you already have a B1/2 visa, will you still be able to visit your significant other if he/she files a K-1 visa for you?
Yes, many visit during the process.
With the Cr1 visa do we still need to meet in person before we can file?
How else do you get married if you're not meeting? I think being married it's what's important in spousal visa
What about ir1 visa processing time
What if the sponsor was a US citizen but NOT a resident, will he/she be eligible??
US citizens are naturally residents, and can petition.
Non-citizens who do have residency CANNOT petition for their foreign fiancé.
The lawyer in the video explains this many times.
You need to talk to a immigration lawyer about that
What if my fiance from Nigeria is pregnant with my child
Question? I filed for a K-1 form 129. It was received, but within 30 days we withdrew it. It was never processed. Does that still count as 1 filing for a 2 year period? And I have to wait?
Hey did they give any reason to why it was thrown out? 🤔
@@sorcelord65 i withdrew it voluntarily
@@dennisw5803 you literally said that 🤣. My bad I was up late at night and shouldn’t of been.
I got married In Africa I am a US citizen does this marriage count to the US process or can I just file fiance and get married here ?
Please let me know if you’ve ever received an update am in the same situation
My american fiance is planning to go for online wedding instead of K1 visa, so while waiting for this travel ban be gone, we could file a CR1, is this online marriage a legit? Thanks for the response?
What is an online wedding?
Needs to be consummated.
@@A__Mina lots of people have been getting married online. I don't know how the process is, but you and your soulmate can marry online.
I've been married online last 2020 and it won't work if you didn't meet each other in person you have to meet in person and then file petition
Hi, very useful! Am I understanding correctly that if the US citizen lives abroad together with their spouse, the US citizen has to move back to the US in order to have a US domicile and be able to sponsor the CR1 for the foreign spouse? This would imply that during the whole CR1 process, the couple will have to live in different countries even tho they are married unless they file for a K3 which could take longer than the CR1, correct? Thank you
I would like the answer to this question as well
I'm not an expert, but I believe that is indeed correct. Even after you marry overseas, you have to be once again separated UNTIL approved. THEN, he/she can move to the US. Frickin' insane, eh?
@@tribzman3977 this is what I was afraid of. Might go the K1 route.
@@SuperVladamere I'm now actually thinking of seeing whether my soon-to-be wife will just come and live in the US for 180 days after we marry (as a visitor), then after she returns overseas, where I might then stay with her there for some time, then I return to the US.
Then, she once again visits the US for 6 mos. on a tourist visa, and so on and so on until the visa is approved.
I REFUSE to wait any more time than necessary to be apart from my new wife due to the ridiculous red tape and outrageously lengthy time it takes for her to finally be permanently in the US. We'll do what it takes to remain together for as long as possible while waiting to be approved.
@@tribzman3977 Hello, I am intrigued to know how this worked out as this is my current situation. Any tips?
I had 2 approved F129 before for K1 more than ten years ago, and one K3 in 2017. Is it possible for me to do the waiver? What's the chance of being approved? Or I can't sponsor K1 again at all this time? Please help answer my question I appreciate it!
So many applications, what happened?
@@newdumb3014 I meant 2 total, not 3, one K1 one K3

@@immigrationforcouples7362 I just wanted to know what forms do I start with my fiancee is in the Philippines
If the fiancé has a driver license that’s valid In their country can’t they drive in the USA till they get their USA drivers license/green card?
You gonna have to go to the licensing office once you arrive in America to register and while waiting for at least 30 days you are allowed to drive but must carry the document as proof that you applied the US driver's license
Actually after listening to atty. I think I was wrong then
Time they can drive varies by State, California for example is only 10 days for new residents.
Good
You mentioned that the couples should get married within 90 days. My question is, will it be 90 days after the issuance of visa or after the other landed the US? Thanks in advance for the response/s.
As soon as you land, the days start counting.
@@Fraciencwa94 Thanks much!

You need to met in person for things to be concrete for you to get approval without problems. Just wait. USCIS is probably slow as as a snail right now anyway.
@@chocolatepie84 Thank you so much! We will apply for him to visit America!!
i am from the UK and my fiancée is from USA .
If we opt for the spouse visa, am i able to travel back and forth to visit my fiancée in the USA while the visa is processing?
Not at all ..it will be assumed u are going there to stay ..
@@ndchannel6704 so if i am a usa citizen and my spouse is from Tijuana Mexico a border city she cannot cross back and forth for both k1 and cr1 process? Thanks in advance :)
@@raulmellado3029 unless she has a visiting visa at hand if not ..she won't be allowed to travel back and forth , cause it will be assumed she's going to stay for good ..they will deny he /she the visa.
Bit late to this but yes, 100% you can visit while waiting
Yes absolutely, you can just as long you can provide solid 11% evidence that you have strict reasons to returning to the UK such as having assets, job, etc. But you have to make sure you give them enough proof you are indeed only visiting the US and need to go back to the UK. You're lucky too that you're from the UK where it's easier entering the US compared to many other countries which deny many tourist visa applicants.
How to file, i'm working in Cayman Islands. Is my fiancè can apply me he's from U.S
