1 and CR 1 visas-immigrant visas for spouses of American citizens;

2. Submit one application form I- 130 and one application form G-325A, with an application fee of US$ 420, two visa photos of both parties, your birth notarization, marriage notarization, previous divorce notarization, if you have a marriage history, a copy of your husband's passport, birth paper (naturalization paper) and proof materials of marriage relationship, such as taking photos, chatting and correspondence records. 130 and 325A must be original, others can be copied.

3. It takes about 2-3 months to submit an application in China and about 12- 15 months to apply abroad; To submit an application in China, your husband must have lived in China for 6 months and have a residence permit before he can apply. Those who do not meet the requirements can only apply in the United States.

4. In China, the applicant submits the application in person to the Beijing or Guangzhou embassy to which the residence permit belongs; Then wait for P2 and P3 to fill in the form and submit unpaid notarization and economic guarantee materials, and then wait for P4 to make an appointment for face-to-face signing; In foreign countries, send the application materials and checks to the immigration office, then wait for P2, and then wait for the payment notice of P2.5, and fill in DS-26 1. At this time, you can choose to apply for electronic payment, which is several months faster than the traditional payment notice, and then wait for the payment notice from 230 yuan. After you have the electronic application GZO number, fill in DS-260 and send the financial guarantee materials (I-). Then wait for P4 to sign the letter; Traditionally, you don't have to wait for the GZO number. After the two fees are shown as paid, print the cover page and mail it to NVC together with the materials, and then wait for the notice of wide distribution and face signing.

5. It will be faster for American citizens to get K 1 fiancee visa. It will take about 4-6 months now, and the materials submitted are similar to CR 1, that is, I- 130 is changed to I- 129F, and I-864 in the economic guarantee materials is changed to I- 134. 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 for 90 days and then applies for a green card, he must return to China. Compared with 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 now, so you can get a green card directly when you enter the country, and the pass rate is a little higher than K 1. For those who don't know their fiance very well, it is recommended to do K 1, and then decide whether to get married after the actual situation and running-in. Otherwise, CR 1 will have to wait for a long time, and it will be difficult to divorce if there are changes in the middle.
