US Immigration from Philippines

I'm not sure I understand the CR-1 Visa. My fiance and I have decided to get married in the Philippines but I can't live there. If we do get married there (and we want to) I have to come home to the USA after the wedding and try to get her here later. Is that what the CR-1 is for? The rules seem to indicate that the Embassy interview will require proof of us living together with proof of joint rent, bills, bank accounts etc but I only visit there, I don't live there. Isn't a marriage certificate and affidavits from witnesses enough? Or, is it impossible to marry her there and get her here without living with her there for 2 years? I can't find clear explanation on how it works.

Hello,

I know the medical requirements is asking for old chest xray and immunization records.

But what if you don't have a chest xray and don't know about immunization records prior to the medical? Will st. Lukes decline appointment if I don't show these?

Hi Everyone,

My fianc & I got approved for our NOA2 on February 3rd, 2023. When we first started our relationship back in 2020 and up until now, we had made the decision that she would come over on the K1 Fianc VISA on her own for the first year to get acclimated to the US, get used to being a wife & a step mom without also having to care for her children. At the time we felt it was a good decision & she had the support of her family to care for her son. We planned to petition for him as soon as we could with the hope of bringing him over to join us within 1-2 years (depending on the length of the process). She has since had second thoughts about leaving him behind for a year & she has since started to feel that her family would not properly care for him once she leaves.

First question...is it too late to have him added to our current K1 VISA application. I am assuming that this answer is yes & if we wanted to go this route, we would likely have to start all the way over back on step 1.

Second question...what is the best way to handle this situation to try to get him to join us within a year (or however long the current process takes)? I am assuming that we would petition for him as an immediate family member as we would be married & I am more than happy to adopt him as part of the process.

Thanks!
