especially not after this.

yes, i meant i-130. sorry. and yes, we’re aware of the lengthy timeframe. i guess my question is the exact same but replace cr1 with i-130. he was here originally on his b2 visa to visit for my birthday and one thing led to another. lawyer said we need to wait three months before filing? which i haven’t necessarily heard of.

Long story short, married spontaneously while he was on his trip in the US to see me, now he’s my husband and is here and we planned to adjust status. We spoke to a lawyer to get rid of some doubt who said we had to wait three months after we marry to submit the CR1 + AOS paperwork. I thought it was immediately after receiving the marriage certificate one could send in the forms? Does anyone have any experience with this?

i wouldn’t think so either, especially since it was entered in good faith. it just didn’t work out. thank you for your response.

thank you and that’s no problem! i submitted my official divorce decree along with the K1 and can easily get more copies from my cities courthouse for a small fee. so, if we do marry, file the cr1 while he’s still here? or do i go for aos directly? and forgive me if this is a dumb question but.. how does one cancel the current active petition?

Good evening VJers, I've used this site tons but never decided to actually make an account and post until now. Anyway, I am looking for some insight since any information outside of this site is questionable. Fiancee and I sent in our K1 December 2021. We are a few months shy of getting our NOA2, I'm aware. I am the petitioner. Little backstory: We met in the early summer of last year while out dancing, he was here visiting his family and at a point throughout the night he approached me, we hit it off, exchanged information and since then we have talked every. single. day. We've also visited tons over the months, over 4 times and right now he is here for a month due to some concerts we decided we wanted to go see together as well as traveling to bordering cities and get to know new places together, like we've always wanted. On that note, we're tired of the goodbyes, they're much too painful and I know the majority of you understand that.. and the time for him to go back is coming up. My question here is, would it be somehow illegal or, for lack of a better term, stupid to just go for it and marry and do his AOS while the K1 is active? Do I have to fill some form to cancel it if we do that and get started on everything need to adjust? We're aware of the long months ahead without work or travel if we choose this route and it's not an issue. I guess my only other concern is that back in 2017 I did a CR1 visa for my then husband, as a way of us finally being able to be together. It was approved and all but once we were actually together the marriage fell through leading to divorce (which was finalized in 2020). Whereas my current fiancee and I have spent a good amount of time with one another, our families even speak to each other and get along. My family is just as much in love with him as his is with me.. not that it matters much, but just thought I'd throw that in there. Everything with ex-husband was resolved easily, nothing was messy and we split recognizing we weren't meant to be. Would the fact that I did that be means for an issue going down this route?
