IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	confused	Hi, I'm a newbie! Great website folks! But I'm confused because the CR-1 Guide links to an I-130 guide. (?) For someone just coming on to this website ...What is the CR-1 process? My wife and I got married 2 weeks ago here in California. She is here on a tourist visa. First, she goes back to Mexico and from there applies at a US Consulate for a CR-1 visa? While that is going on I send in our I-130 to USCIS? Then USCIS forwards our I-130 petition to someone (US Dept. of State?) and after 6 months or so she will be able to enter the US legally and stay in the US while we continue with the process? She needs to leave now, before we file the I-130? Thanks in advance!	jeffishere	Male	Mexico	2011-07-19 16:38:00
