Do you currently live in Canada or the US?

Where did you get that definition?

Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

***Moved to Which Visa Do I Need?***

Read my edited post above.

Why do you suspect there would be an interrogation? That was already done at the consulate...LOL I have heard of only one K-1 visa holder being denied entry. When asked by CBP, "Are you going to marry within 90 days/", the visa holder said "Maybe. maybe not". Rumor is that he was swiftly placed on the next flight out.

Another vote for 5 year rule if qualified.

Do you have a US passport?

I'm not sure the scammer (my personal suspicion) has ever been there, either.

Agree. After clicking the "submit" button, I even panicked. I thought "Wait...This can't be THIS easy!"....LOL. It was.....

After seeing the actual FB page post/ FB comments and after rethinking this, this has all the earmarks of a romance scam. I'm not sure the "boyfriend" actually traveled to the US. The word "catfish" come to mind. I've seen a lot of videos similar to this.

Not an issue. Good luck on the DCF.

That is not going to be a pleasant interview. I tend to agree with the others here. Wait and apply under the 5 year rule.

Your parents are each a separate case. I would add the marriage certificate. Since they are at different processing centers, do this: 1. Hold the first case to be approved at NVC by not paying fees and submitting document. 2. When BOTH cases are at NVC, pay the fees and submit documents for both cases. 3. Contact NVC and the consulate to request they be interviewed together. Good luck.

Wife applied online (5 year rule). It was a piece of cake. Immediately received receipt notice and biometrics re-use notice. Filing N-400 to day of Naturalization oath was less than 6 months total.
