Not what she is referring to. Getting married in Cuba to file a CR-1 is a really convoluted process as they aren’t party to The Hague Apostille treaty, basically so they can charge foreigners a ton of money to get their documents legalized. There are no guides here for that.

Possibly they could marry in a 3rd country, presuming they can find somewhere that's not too difficult and/or expensive to meet in and marry? It's certainly legal to do that, at any rate.

@DaveAndAnastasia we did consider that but first in Cuba it’s. It easy to leave that country we thought of him going to Mexico with a work permit then marry him there but my attorney did not recommend that since immigration might question why first K1 in Cuba and now in another country. We don’t want to risk it any more so I will go marry him in Cuba but their paperwork they require is not easy as documents need to be certified by Texas then authenticated by Washington and they have to translated in Spanish then all that has to be sent to the consulate of Cuba in Washington to have a special seal. Once I have that then I. An go marry him.

I am a CR1 with a spouse in Cuba. It's not convoluted, but it is precise. If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I'll help any way I can.

It does not make any difference to USCIS.  Marry wherever you want preferably in a Hague Convention country.   We met in Philippines, married in Hong Kong  and emigrated from Mexico.

You need to make sure you deal with whatever the issue was in getting a K1.
