I had a question regarding my wifes entry here in the U.S. She will be entering on a CR-1, other than applying for her SSN (would have to look back at my records to see if we checked the box for that) and waiting for her "greencard" to arrive is there anything we need to be aware of or need to prepare for within say the first 90 days of her being here? I understand that she will be a Conditional Resident for the next two years, but is there anything immediate that we should be cognizant of or can prepare for? FYI: We will be entering the country on Oct. 24th

Isn't that the truth!!! Anyways I thought as much I just wanted to be completely sure.... I was a little bit torn whether to try the CR-1 route by itself or go the K-3/CR-1 "maybe" route. Im thankful now that we decided on the CR-1. I think it was the right decision for us and if anything may have only delayed our being together by a month, and thats a big maybe. As Mononoke28 stated: CR1 visas rock! And so does VJ, the help and direction we recieved here when we needed it was more than helpful and probably even saved us some money. Thanks for the replies!

Since you were smart enough to go with the CR instead of the K3 you guys can kick back and start collecting evidence to remove conditions. 21 months goes FAST.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!
