Ok. So once the Cr-1 process has been started, just continue with our travels as we have been. Thank you everyone for your help!

Thank you for your quick reply. What really has me confused is the language here on the VJ site when listing the pluses and minuses of the Cr-1.

"After entry into the US, as a Permanent Resident they may seek employment without restrictions. No Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is required."

"After entry into the US, as a Permanent Resident they will not require special permission to leave the US for travel. No Advance Parole (AP) document is required."

As I read the two above pluses, "After entry.....a Permanent Resident..." this is only once she becomes a permanent resident.

"Separation from family may be longer than if filing for a K-3 Visa (or K-1 visa for a non-married fiance). The applicant will most likely not be able to enter the US while their IR1-CR-1 Visa is being processed."

This is our fear, that she will most likely not be able to enter the US while her CR-1 Visa is being processed.

Hello everyone

My fiancé and I are looking to get married soon but are a bit confused on two things. Our original plan was to marry and apply for the K3 visa but it looks as though the K3 Visa is being phased out and replaced with the CR-1. I live here in the states and my fiancé lives in Canada. We currently visit each other every month for about a week at a time. One month I travel to Canada, the next she travels here. Can we continue to do this once we start the visa process?

It is important to us that she is able to travel back home during this process as that's where her family is and she has good opportunities to continue to earn an income there. Her financial opportunities will be rough when she first moves here.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
