Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently a German resident and just married my German husband a few weeks ago.

Yesterday I mailed the CR-1 visa application to the consulate in Frankfurt. I'm starting to worry about the next steps and here's why: In 2 weeks I'm moving back to the US to go to grad school. So I won't be a German resident anymore.

Will this affect my application if my residence status has changed?

Please help! I can't find any answers online..

Hello! I need some help!

Here's the situation:

I'm an American citizen and I've been dating my German boyfriend for almost 3 years. I met him while I was on vacation in Germany and ended up staying and finding work. I've recently been accepted into grad school back in the US and we are planning to move there together. We are trying to decide if we should get married here so he could apply for a K3/CR1 visa or if we should wait and get married in the US. We'd both prefer to get married in the US but he is really worried about being unemployed from the time we get married until the time he gets his green card.

A few years ago I went through the whole K1 visa process with my ex fiance so I'm kinda familiar with this stuff

I've been searching so long on the internet for answers and still have some unanswered questions:

Which process is faster? and I still don't understand the difference between K3 and CR1? Would I have to apply for both or only choose one?

For the K3 interview, do I have to be present as well? I know for the K1 visa I don't have to be

How long does it take between getting married in the US until green card? I've read anywhere from 2-6 months?

Regarding the Affadavit of support and meeting the 125% above poverty level income..I will be a student living off loans (I plan on getting a part time job). Do the loans count as income?

Thank you !!!
