I NEED HELP PLEASE

[Zats&Bryan 30]

Paying a lawyer does have minor advantages. I guess it also depends on how good your research for a good one is, and if you want to pay the extra fees. You can do it yourself too, here there is a very extensive guide you can consult at anytime, and if you apply yourself you can move a little faster by avoiding RFE's. But even paying a lawyer will not guarantee you will have your visa in 6 months or less, no matter what they say.(I've seen some cases, but they're not that common and it also depends on which country the beneficiary is from) If you decide to look for one to hire be careful if they promise you less than a year of waiting time, most of them use this as a bait.

How about this we thought when we file the paperwork we thought we have to file and pay for everything one time. We never know some other information we was not sure who to talk with or anything in fact he never know we have to do all this until I told him about it.

We have some people that never heard of filing paperwork to become a us citizens.

That is why its good to ask questions.

Thank you for sharing I appreciate it

No you cannot do that. It takes that long because a lot of people are waiting for visas.

Ok I understand thank you!

[nyokie 572]

1. all forms are same. designation differs based on length of marriage, computed either from day 1 to interview day, or day 1 till port of entry day.

2. Please realize, you just got an account on a 'do-it-yourself' web portal focusing on immigration into the u.s.a. We've an extensive Guides Section here, vetted and current. Mostly, lawyers are highly-paid form-fillers, unless you have something exceptionally untoward that requires a lawyer writing up particular addendums to your casefile, citing INA, 9FAM and caselaw specifying WHY the I-130 must be approved, WHY the CR-1 must be granted.

HTH !

ok. length of marriage not matter when chasing a K-3.

I understand thank you for explaining everything I appreciate it.

[nyokie 572]

what you've just described in an adjustment of status from a Tourist Visa, a B1/B2.

If one holds a K-3, it is a multiple entry visa, can leave usa same day, return often, for up to 2 years.

if one holds a CR-1, the visa foil morphs into a temporary green card at the port of entry, a clerk puts a stamp there, now is a temporary green card for 1 year usage, and can turn around same day, leave usa.

so, I ask you, whoever told you stuff, prior? You should get a 2 meter-length stick of heavy bamboo, beat those persons until bloodspray occurs. They've given you really bad advice.

When you say the visa B1 and B2 I was not meaning that one. But I know what you talking.

That where I gone wrong by talking about a visa, I should have said us citizens, i was told when you apply for that they also give a visa while the paperwork is being process. Am I right?

[indiana_sweetie 120]

The CR-1 visa is permission to enter the USA. At entry you get a stamp in your passport to become a permanent resident. You must wait 3 (marriage based) or 5 years before you can apply for citizenship. A permanent resident is not a citizen. Don't make that mistake.

Ok that explained.this is why we don't know what in the world we doing, this is why I am asking so many questions,to be sure what is best for us. I cant apply for CR1 because we are less than 2 years of married. July 20 will make us a year.

Bless you for trying to understand but you're still confused. You need to file for a CR-1 that's the only one you can file for. Don't try to understand what a K-3 or what an IR-1 is. Just know and explain to the husband you must file for a CR-1 and it can take about a year until you get your visa.

Try visacoach.com or hire attorney to do whole process. CR1 is for spouse who are married less than 2 years and IR1 is if you married more than 2 years. If you have CR1, then you get 3 year greencard subject to conditional removal. Sorry for being rude earlier but if your husband could have file a year ago, he could have enjoy being with newborn and spend quality time.

This timeNo got it and I understsnd how it work. I have to file CR1 because we have been married less than 2 years. I totally agree I about k3 and IR don't need to know what they are. Important part is to file the CR1.

Thank you!
