IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR-1 vs K-3 visa

Hello everyone,

This website has been a great help to me. I am a U.S. citizen and recenty married my fiancee in China. After comparing the CR-1 and K-3 options, I think the CR-1 is the best for me. My question to anyone who can help. From my reseach it appears to start the CR-1 process I need a packet with I-130 and a 325a bio from both of us. Are these the only 2 applications that are needed to start the CR-1? Will I ever need a 129-F in the future if I continue with CR-1?

Any help will be appreciated.


Yes u need these two froms I 130 and G325a (for both of u) and send with all the supporting documents , and with Cr1 process there is no need of I129F

All;

First of all i want to thank everyone on their advice. There is so much information in this forum. I had one question and i am sure it must have been answered befroe but i cant seem to find it.

I filled the I-30 on Sept 2nd 09, received letter on the 16th stating they have received it and then on the 10th of Oct received an approval. I called NVC yesterday on the number stated on the approval and the gentlemen who answered the phone took my receipt # and date of births and said if i want to add an email i gave him that. He told me it will take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks before i hear from them.

My question is i see here everyone logging into NVC website to check their case status. Can someone please give me the URL and do i have to register on their website.

Any help will be appreciated.



On the above mentioned website, I will strongly recommend that you make the payments online through that website...print the barcode sheet and post your forms to NVC. This will help you save A LOT of time and hassle and the case can go to Islamabad quickly. Please do try to pay the bills online.

Hi Everyone...its been a long wait...my I-130 was filled in march 2007 by my US husband who was a permanent resident at that time. He became a USC on dec 5th 2008 and upgraded my I-130 in jan 2009...we have not received our NOA2 and approval yet...kinda getting worried now..especially when I see people finishing their cases in less than 6months.

Our case is with VSC.Any advise or help will be greatly appreciated.This wait has been too long.

Being a citizen does not mean definately having a passport.
If you are a born citizen, you are a citizen but don't have a passport.
Thus passports are merely traveling forms of Identification and the date you took your oath is the official citizenship date.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescan my husband take his sponsorship back??
Well I notice you say the grooms family is asking for more. So what about your husband?
Does he at all support you? Maybe you out to talk things out with him?
And despite the whole marriage and dowry deal, you can always fly to US on your immigrant visa, and come back.
Once you have visited the states and seen what its like then you should decide whether you can live there, either to make your marriage work or without any family or friends!
But once you give up this opportunity it will not come again.
You can always go on a nonimmigrant visa however you won't get many benefits on a job visa as you would on immigrants so there is definately a benefit to this.
I know its hard to move to a new country without having any support there
so why not go see if its worth the headache at all or not? and surely once you get the green card your hubby can't do anything to you.

You never properly filed the petition from what I understand. Form G-325A is part of the initial application.

I am really sorry to hear that, but having a chance to appeal is definately not the end!
