I’m Vietnamese and new on the board. My boyfriend and I met on a dating website. We both fell deeply in love, and we knew that we were born for each other even though we haven’t met in person yet. Currently, I’m waiting for my interview date for my B2 visa. If I get my visa and travel to America, which way is the best option for us?
A. When I get there he will propose me, and then I will return to my country and wait for him to file for a K-1 visa, which is faster.
B. When I get there we both will get married, and then I will return to my country and wait for him to file for a CR-1 visa, which is longer.
My concern is how long does Immigration process take for each one? At first, I thought both ways are not much different time in the process, but recently I have read the article on www.fianceevisaservices.com said that “Recently processing of Spousal Visas has gotten extremely slow, just like the bad old days. Revised June 2011.” I’m so confused, and as our situation I really don’t know which way is the best option? We just want to be together and forever as soon as possible since living away from each other is sad.
Any advice, recommendations or insight would be greatly appreciated.
