Thanks for your opinions! I am thinking the CR-1 route will be better then, and certainly more cost effective.

My fiance is living in the US right now, and we have looked into the affidavit of support requirements and those are all fine.

Thank you so much though, it honestly helps hearing from other people who have done this instead of just reading about fees and processes.

Hi everyone!

I've been reading through everyone's stories and all of the tips and guides on this website and they have been extremely helpful. I'm still at a bit of a loss at how my fiance and I should proceed though.

I am a Canadian citizen and my fiance is American. We plan on marrying and moving to the US. I'm wondering what option will be best for us. We particularly want things to go as quick as possible (of course!)

I'm thinking the K1 way is best. It seems they are being processed relatively quickly and I would be able to go to the US, marry, and then stay there.

I am just wondering if we should just go ahead and get married, and then file for the CR-1 instead. It seems to be a better and more straightforward visa, and I wouldn't have to worry about the Employment Authorization application. This looks like it would take longer though.

Essentially, I am mostly curious how long each method takes, and how much each method costs. Also, if there is a way that is recommended and more likely to be approved.

Thank you! Look forward to hearing from you all. Let me know if you need more information on our case!
