OP, are you the girl or the Irish guy this time? In each different thread you post, you what to know about either a K-1, VWP or CR1. Either you know you want to come to the states to marry or you marry in Ireland. It seems suspicious and as though you are just finding ways to get to the US and stay here. What are you both really after?

Good work, Mina.

I wonder sometimes if there aren't people testing the waters here purely to see if we are willing to give out questionable advice.

But that would be paranoid, wouldn't it.

Just following my hunch.

When two things don't add up, there is always something wrong in the equation. There are far too many GENUINE people who work hard to bring their significant other, family member, relative, or spouse to be with them and fail. It irks me when people want to cheat their way through the system and after being caught, make everyone else suffer for their wrongdoings.

IVE ASKED... WHat forms do we file for the cr-1 route??????? thats my question!!!! OMG

The guides are complete, and tell you exactly which forms you need to file, depending on whether you are already married or not, and whether or not both partners are inside or outside of the US. You need to spend a significant amount of time reading the guides and forms. This process is extremely onerous and time consuming. Make sure you read through everything with a fine tooth comb, and check and double check everything.

SO MANY THREADS...... I think she is looking for the answer she wants to hear that works the best for her... If she read the guidelines, things would become a bit clearer.

Oh it's clear I'm sure. Just not what the person wants. But we can't always get what we want.

Its more complicated than just which forms to fill out because of you age. Hire a lawyer! If you can not afford one, you can not afford to get married.

[Cathi 5,630]

Lol, If i didnt have an attitude i wouldnt be human, also im 17 but matured well for my age. my hubby is more of the immature one lol,

Just looking for info here.. Not jokes, but i cant seem to get it, so thank you anyways.

why are you calling him your hubby if you are not married?

[Cathi 5,630]

IVE ASKED... WHat forms do we file for the cr-1 route??????? thats my question!!!! OMG

No, your question was. I want to know "anything and everything"

if you want help you seriously need to drop the attitude. I don;t care if you think it's cool to be a wiseazz, but people are not going to be willing to help you until you smarten up and try acting like the so called adult you claim to be. Whether you like it or not, 17 is NOT an adult....I don't care how mature you claim to be. If you want answers read the guides, and study them

tell me anything and everything they know about the CR-1 Visa

Just some observations about the CR-1/K1 process.

The visa process can be seen as sort of a trial by fire.

Consider this.

If you are impatient… you should reconsider.

If you are easily upset or angered… you should reconsider.

If you have money problems… you should reconsider.

If you have difficulties understanding legal documents… you should reconsider.

Be aware of this.

Expect the process to take a long time.

Expect to be tested mentally and emotionally.

Expect to pay repeated fees, travel expenses, as well as being able to support both yourself and the beneficiary for a long time even after they are here.

Expect to be judged and scrutinized based on how you look on paper and in person.

The view of USCIS and the embassy.

You are guilty of visa fraud. You must now PROVE that you are not guilty and your relationship is real. If it’s real then you will wait as long as USCIS deems reasonable.

You are guilty, belligerence or arrogance will not be tolerated, and your feelings are a moot subject and do not matter.

You are responsible for ALL financial matters related to yourself and your beneficiary from now until the end of time. Your ability to support your family WITHOUT the assistance of the beneficiary MUST be proven. You will not be allowed create a potential burden for taxpayers by bringing a person into the county.

Your age even at 18 will be viewed with suspicion. Your financial ability will be viewed with suspicion. The validity of your relationship will be viewed with suspicion. Your maturity will be viewed with suspicion.

After all that… The entire process can come down to the OPINION of one person, who you may or may not be allowed to speak with for only a few minutes. Without the time or ability to plead your case.

This is not a light decision. It will affect the rest of your life. It is expensive, time consuming, and painful. It is intended to be difficult. We choose this path because we have no other choice. We choose this trial of fire rather than losing a part of our soul. Even a man who displays absolute bravado will quietly admit that asking him to live without his wife/spouse/fiancée/asawa is like asking him to live without air.

Quoting for Truth.

The last line is my husband. Immigration is a definite test of a relationship.

BTW you can make your own account. You do not need to post on your girlfriend's but I don't think it's against the TOS to do so.

Being worried about someone being subjected to a predator doesn't mean anyone ASSUMED you were one, just that the thought crossed through someone's mind and they voiced their concern. Good to know you're not.

All of the information is freely available via a regular desktop screen. (Which actually is available on mobile phones and tablets, if you use the "full version" at the bottom of the page.) Feel free to read the wiki's as well, there is a great deal of good information there.

One thing for the two of you to consider is how to prove you have a bona fide marriage, if you choose the CR1 route.

If you're in Northern Ireland, you will be processed in London, not in Dublin. I know partisan politics and everything (my Strabane husband and I are sick to death of it all), but your Ireland flag is way misleading, auld boy.
