IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Early March filer still not approved	Yes I wonder what happened to positivity, she never really updated what happened at the local service center. I guess they summoned her to come personally, correct me if I am wrong.	trinket	Female	India	2008-08-30 11:13:00

Lol, the CO must be a fan of Korean dramas too jokes aside, I think these questions are asked to see credibility of the beneficiary, how fast and how confidently they can answer the questions, takes a lot of time to remember lies Congratulations on your wife's positive results and welcome to new life in America	trinket	Female	India	2008-09-11 10:24:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What is the difference between the CR-1 and K visa ?	K-1 visa is fiance visa while CR-1/IR-1 visa are for married couples. And there is also K-3 visa which is for married couples too but it promises to bring the spouse sooner to USA and then once in USA the couple go throughs more paper works and does Adjustment of status. With CR-1 once the beneficiary in USA, there are no more paper works to do to gain the permission to work and all. With IR-1 beneficiary gets 10 year GC, CR-1 gives 2 years GC.	trinket	Female	India	2008-09-17 19:12:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	fair or unfair?	QUOTE I-129 Petition for A Nonimmigrant Worker P - Athletes, artists, and entertainers May 31, 2008 I don't want to sound as a deal breaker out here, but these are Nonimmigrant VISA, so naturally they are less scrutinized and have to go through minimal paper work to ENTER USA. Once in USA, they have to go through a lot more paperwork than CR-1/IR-1 visas and also more expensive in long term.	trinket	Female	India	2008-09-18 08:44:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Please help by voting.	I am not sure but can't you attend both the interviews? First K-3 and then again on 29th your CR-1, they will just cancel your approved K-3 on 29th. So if that's not a hassle may be go on 26th too. Again sorry if I am wrong, but I do think I have read this issue a while back on MENA forums where beneficiary attended both k-3 and CR-1 interview.	trinket	Female	India	2008-09-18 08:29:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	How to deal with this waiting journey?	For me Chat with him -- 3:30 am to 7 am Go to work -- 9:30 am to 6 pm During work-- I wake him up every day at 5 am his time, so we do talk for one hour before he leaves for work. Come home, eat and sleep -- 9 pm to 3:30 am And it?s almost the same routine for the past 4 years now. I do go out with friends time to time. When we met first online, I was a student, so studies kept me busy, after studies I got a job and I grabbed it. I do go out of my small little surrounding every 4-5 months, take a week?s break from net and everything, do keep in touch with him through phones, but I do enjoy my space. And for my husband, he does go out for his regular beer every Friday and he enjoys his time with his WOW games. But sure there have been sacrifices too, he didn't take a job which paid him a bit better but it had long hours, so if he would have taken that then our timing would have suffered. It?s the same for me too, I didn't take a job which allowed me to go through a lot of outdoor work, taking that job would have suffered the relationship. I guess you just have to keep your priorities right. Do think we try to be as normal as possible. But seriously you can't have a thriving marriage with this long distance and I do hope this will be the last year to go through this long distance relationship and we can start a life together without any of this distance.	trinket	Female	India	2008-09-19 21:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Not much difference between US citizen and permanent resident	QUOTE (frali @ Sep 20 2008, 01:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you checked dual-citizenship? Sadly, India doesn't allow dual citizenship. Though Indian government does allow Overseas Citizenship of India, which gives a great deal of benefits to people who were once Indian, but still its not the same as being a Citizen.	trinket	Female	India	2008-09-20 09:57:00
