Cr-1 visa

[Scaret_e 14]

Good morning everyone 

 

Im going to do a cr-1 visa. 

Has anyone did it on your own?

or has anyone paid a Service to do it for them 

such as rapid-visa, immigration lawyer, etc??

I and many others did it on our own. The process itself isnt complicated. Its just a long waiting time and you need to make sure to collect enough supporting evidence. Read the Immigration guides on this websites and inform yourself well. If there are any questions open just shoot a post and many people will help you here

We did our K-1 with RapidVisa and we were denied.  We are doing the CR-1 on our own.  Those services sound good but once you go through it you realize that you are doing it all (filling forms, putting together paperwork, etc...) and they charge you for that.  They aren't magic and once you relax and see it isn't as daunting as it feels you can easily do it yourself with the help from Hank's site and the people here.

 

Are you already married?

Unless there is a reason or a red flag in your petition, I highly recommend doing this without and agency or lawyer.  From what I have seen here, very few lawyers know much about this process and in almost all cases have slowed things down.  They will receive NOA1 and NOA2.  Then it is up to them when they forward those to you.  It just adds a middleman and unless they are truly responsive they will slow the process down.

I been looking and videos and learning how to do the i-130 process and so on. I got to this part when notified about noa1 and noa2 after that you get nvc welcome letter. On step 4 collect financial document. 

 

Which is affidavit of support 

 

What form do I fill out? So clueless on this

All you need to do is read through the drop-down chart in STEP 4, Support Forms, fairly self-explanatory .   (IF ... THEN)

Filing I-130 for only your spouse (no one else), all your income is based entirely on your salary or pension as shown in your W2     =  I-864EZ

 

If . .... Then
