visit the US on a B1/B2 while waiting for the CR

[mppellegrini 0]

Hi,

I have a B1/B2 visa.

My US fiance and I are currently living in Rio on a temporary residency type V (permission to work).

We are checking if he can apply DCF.

We are waiting for the consul response.

If not, we will apply for a K1 visa.

In the meanwhile, we wanted to check if I can enter the US to visit my husband while waiting for a CR visa?

Thank you.

Regards,

Mariela

Yes you can visit US using your B1/B2 visa while you are still waiting for K-1/CR-1.

From your post its not clear if you guys are planning to marry in Cairo or not. You will have to get married before you can apply for DCF or else its K-1.

K-1--- For beneficiary to first come over to US and then get married

DCF-- You marry in the residential country and apply out there, US petitioner has to live for at least 6 months in that country with any working visa or any other visa with exception of Tourist visa.

CR-1-- Again the couple is married already and Petitioner will petition the case in US and most of the processing will be done there except the VISA interview itself, which will be done at the current residential country of the Beneficiary.

As I said, you can come for a visit but be prepared to answer things at POE. Everything depends upon POE officer to let you into US or not.

Best of luck
