I should clarify---the paperwork is basically the same for the CR-1, but she would be I believe in F2A, until (or unless) you became a citizen---you would then upgrade your petition to CR-1.

@Going through the CR-1 visa is the one that I can file as a GC holder right ? And then we wait out that waiting period of 12 months to 4 years. I think this is the most reasonable.  I think I will wait a bit to see what's happening to my GC, and we will go this path. That way I can go home a couple times and she can come out a couple times and we'll be fine. I will definitelly go to a lawyer as well to have a plan that I follow. I think you helped me the most tho, I like the cold thruth, but I cannot accept a NO as an answer. There is always a way.-this is what my grandpa used to say and I will follow it. Now that you gave me all the paths, this is all that I needed. You're the best, thanks!

No.  You are an LPR.  You would file for a spouse in the F2a family preference category. 

 

Your case is not unique.  It's a common everyday F2a spousal case.

LPR's can file for Spouses.

As for the not registering for selective service, its really difficult to prove you had no knowldge.  The information is on the USCIS website.  You're given a welcome letter at interview.  Just because you didnt do the paperwork yourself doesn't mean you should be ignorant of the process.  

 

Your best bet is the F2A.  Get married, file the I-130 and just visit when you can.

Believe us, if there were some magical "other" solution, we'd tell you.  You do have a few factors against you---being truthful about them is not being necessarily "negative".  The advice you got in this thread was something you might want to reread to get the full-rounded view.

 

Here are your options, in a nutshell:

 

You get married and move to her country.  No dealing with USCIS this way.  

You get married and the two of you move to a third country.  No dealing with USCIS this way.

You wait out the time until the appropriate age to apply for Naturalization, where the Selective Service issue won't be a factor.  Once you are a citizen, you file either the K1 fiancee visa and she enters the US to marry and live with you, or you marry (whether in the US or elsewhere) and file the CR-1 visa while she remains in her home country, where she can attempt to visit you during the process.

 

 

You are quoting me as saying something I did not say.

Ah--- I see....I obviously meant the OP in saying that earlier in this thread, quoted from a quoted post section---sorry.

I thought you were referring to the post I wrote above, since that was the one you just quoted.
