I am a US citizen in California and my fiance is an Indian citizen in India.
I had applied for my fiance's k1 visa and it is not yet approved from USCIS. After I submitted my application for her K1 visa, they replied with a comment that I need to submit more documents.
My plan was to apply for her fiance visa(K1), get married in India, bring her on fiance visa to US and marry here as well within 90 days. But people suggested me not to bring her on K1 visa after getting married in India.
Now, I am planning to cancel K1 visa and getting married in India and then apply for K3/CR1 visa.
Please help me understand the implications, if any, in cancelling K1 visa and then applying for another visa for her.
Also, which visa should I apply for her, K3 or CR1.
Any help will be highly appreciated as I can not really afford a lawyer.
