What are the advantages and disadvantages of applying for a fiancee visa and a wife visa in the United States?

1, fiancee visa K 1 Compared with American citizen spouse immigrant visa CR 1, K 1 is faster and the total cost is higher (because you have to pay for applying for a green card). CR 1 is not as fast as K 1 yet. You can get a green card directly when you enter the country, and the pass rate is a little higher than K 1.

2. It will be faster for American citizens to get a fiancee visa of K 1. It will take about 4-6 months now. The materials submitted are almost the same as CR 1, that is, I- 130 is changed to I- 129F, and I-864 in the economic guarantee materials is changed to I- 134.

3. But K 1 must get married within 90 days after entering the United States, and then apply for a green card. If he doesn't get married within 90 days and then apply for a green card, he must return to China.

Application time: it takes about 2-3 months to submit an application in China and about 12- 15 months to apply abroad.

Extended data:

Cr 1 the spouse of an American citizen who has been married for two years, and 2 1 the unmarried children under the age of 0 are CR2.

IR 1 The spouse of an American citizen who has been married for two years, and the unmarried children under 2 1 are IR2.

American citizens living in the United States can only submit CR/IR applications at immigration service centers in their areas of residence.

CR 1/IR 1/ is an immigrant visa. You can receive a two-year conditional green card (within two years from the date of marriage to the date of entry) or a ten-year green card (more than two years from the date of marriage to the date of entry) from the immigration office at home in the United States.

American citizens can apply for a CR2/IR2 visa for your children (stepchildren of American citizens) separately at the same time, but you cannot apply for a visa under the following circumstances. After becoming an American citizen, you can only apply for a visa for your child yourself;

A. When you marry an American citizen, your child is over 18 years old.

B the child is over 2 1 year old at the time of application.

K3 is the priority category of CR 1/IR 1, and the unmarried children under 2 1 are K4.

After receiving the application of CR 1/IR 1, you can choose whether to apply for K3 at the same time.

K3 is the United States Immigration Service. Considering the long application time of CR 1/IR 1, in order to reunite the husband and wife as soon as possible, we can apply for K3 to go to the United States in advance at the same time.
