  • If you married before the child turned 18, then unmarried foreign spouse's children under the age of 21 may be eligible for CR-2 or IR-2 visas. You must file a separate I-130 petition for each child.

    • The filing fee for the I-129F petition is $535. After the petition is approved, there are additional expenses to consider:

    • Medical examination at a USCIS-approved clinic - the cost depends on the medical facility and the country where the examination is conducted.

    • Government fee at the NVC stage: $445.

    • Expenses for travel to attend the interview.

    • Government fee for the Green Card: $220.
      You can find more detailed information in the article on the cost of the CR-1 visa.

  • The spouse visa (CR-1/IR-1) involves waiting for processing outside of the country. For spouses who are waiting for their CR-1/IR-1 visa to be processed, there is a special type of visa known as a K-3 visa.

    However, if you already have a tourist visa, you can visit the USA within the allowed period of stay on your tourist visa.

    If you don't have a tourist visa, you can apply for a B2 visitor visa, but in 90% of cases, individuals who are in the process of waiting for an immigration visa are denied tourist visas because they have immigration intentions.

  • You can get married in any country. If the marriage is not conducted in the United States, you will need to translate the marriage certificate into English.

    You can also get married online through Utah. After getting married (if you were not physically together at the time of marriage), you will need to meet in person, and then you will be eligible to file the I-130 petition.

  • Many people choose between the K-1 fiancé visa and the CR-1 spouse visa. Each visa has its advantages and disadvantages. You can learn more in our article "K-1 Fiancé Visa or CR-1 Spouse Visa - Which One to Choose?"

  • Petitions for CR-1/IR-1 visas for spouses of U.S. citizens are processed in a queue. However, there is a possibility to expedite the petition by filing Form I-129F. You can read more about it in the article "K3 as a way to expedite the spouse visa petition." Additionally, if you have extraordinary circumstances, you have the right to apply for an expedite. USCIS will review the application and make a decision.

Schedule a consultation, and we will provide detailed information about the timelines, costs, and all the stages of the process.
