    Choosing between the K1 Fiancee Visa or the CR1 Spouse visa is a difficult choice for most couples. Here the VisaCoach explains the process, in detail, along with answers to the following questions: Which visa, K1 visa or CR1 visa, is easiest? Which visa, K1 Fiance Visa or CR1 Spouse Visa, is best? Which visa, K1 visa or CR1 visa, is fastest? Which visa, K1 Fiance Visa or CR1 Spouse Visa permits foreign partner to work sooner?
    To bring your foreign partner, fiancee or spouse to the USA you need to navigate a complicated and difficult immigration system to obtain permission to enter and remain in the USA. Here we describe the process for the two immigration paths that are available to you, either marry, then apply for a CR1 spouse visa for your new spouse, or propose marriage, get engaged to marry,then apply for a K1 Fiancee visa for your new fiancee.
    How to bring your Fiance or Spouse to the USA on a CR1 spouse visa, or K1 fiancee visa.
    Both processes are roughly the same. We prepare an application, it is submitted in the USA to the United States citizenship and Immigration service (USCIS),
    And then once USCIS has completed its review, the case goes to the US State department’s
    National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire.
    And finally NVC couriers the case overseas to the appropriate US Embassy for the
    in-person interview and approval of the Fiance visa or spouse visa.
    Then your partner use the K1 visa or CR1 visa to travel to and enter the USA
    My philosophy, and I religiously follow with every case, work on, is that success, final outcome, final approval, depends 99% on the quality of the initial application that together we prepare and submit. The quality of the work we accomplish at the start, at the "front" of this process, determines the ultimate outcome. Quality goes in, and a positive result comes out.
    K1 Fiance Visa applications go to Dallas Texas, CR1 Spouse visa applications to Dallas, Chicago or Phoenix..
    After initial sorting then the applications are assigned and forwarded to one of six USCIS service centers that are scattered throughout the USA.
    At the USCIS service center your case is reviewed and processed.
    And the review includes an FBI background check.
    When USCIS is satisfied with your application, they "approve", at least their part, then
    hands your case over to NVC, based in New Hampshire.
    NVC holds Fiancee K1 visa applications only briefly. They briefly touch the application just enough to confirm which consulate is the correct one to process the case, and if the consulate is current on their workload, immediately ships the case to the consulate using diplomatic courier.
    While NVC only briefly touches a K1 Fiance Visa Case, for a CR1 spouse visa application NVC really gets involved. NVC asks the spouse visa sponsor to pay an affidavit of support and the consulate interview fee, and requires copies of all civil documents, police clearances and the US sponsor’s financial evidence.
    NVC reviews all of your materials, and once satisfied that all is correct ,
    contacts the overseas consulate, and books the next available interview date.
    So at this time, both the Fiance Visa and Spouse Visa cases have arrived at the destination consulate.
    As mentioned already, if your case is for a Cr1 spouse visa, the consulate interview has already been scheduled and the interview fees paid.
    But for a K1 Fiance visa, it is up to you and your fiance to pay the interview fees and book the interview
    directly yourselves.
    But before the Interview your partner must go to a medical clinic appointed by the consulate
    to undergo a thorough medical exam.
    During the interview, the consular officer must be CONVINCED your relationship is bona fide
    and not a sham contrived for immigration purposes.
    Sorry, to say this, but US immigration has had a long and troubled history with fiance and spouse type visas
    Their experience has not been a good one.
    Even proof of being lawfully married is not enough.
    Basically the officer must rely on the couple’s sworn statements that their relationship is a real one, not a sham in order to issue the K1 Fiancee visa or the CR1 spouse visa.

    Hello how are does it cost to get a spouse visa and is a spouse visa better than a fiance visa

    • @Visacoach
      @Visacoach  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The present spouse visa support fee is $995 for the USCIS stage, followed by $495 for the State Department Stage. For details send your request to info@visacoach.com and ask for "Spouse Visa 101". When comparing Spouse visa versus Fiancee visa which is "better" is a personal choice based on situation and individual preferences.

    Hi coach. I am a us citizen looking to petition my partner. I lived with him overseas for 7 years. We have a 2 year old together and I recently moved back to the states with my child. Our main priority is getting reunited the sooner. I have another kid so that means we would be a household of 4. My income a year is 30,700. Do you think we have a chance still??

      All bona fide couples should be able to get their applications granted. If your income is insuffiecient then you find a co-sponsor, or get a raise.

      There is an immediate suspicion that the consular officer will have that something is off. To be successfull the application needs to demonstrate to the officer that such suspicions are unfounded. That is what the VisaCoach front loaded petition strives to achieve.

      Yes there could be a problem when there is a significant age difference. For best communications I suggest you speak directly with the consultant or attorney working on your case. He understands your situation and can take the time to explain it for your understanding.

      In 2023 most cases of either have been taking around 18 months. We hope it might improve for 2024, but is too soon to accurately forcast.
