    Have you considered a CR-1 instead of a K-1?

    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 5-6 months)    
    Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 5-6 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.

     

    CR-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. 

    My Final Analysis:  If you can marry your fiance in his/her country or outside the US, CR-1 is a much, much better option

    Thank you,Missleman!  I really appreciate your fast and helpful information.

     

    We've heard of this,and its definitely an option. I just want us to reunite as soon and as easily as possible(Which we all have the same hope,right?)
