Hey! Yeah, we're gonna do the CR-1 route after we get married in December. Also happy to hear you were able to visit on ESTA during the process, that's a relief, hopefully the wait times will be shorter by then too And yeah, I have got a bunch of photos from my trip there earlier this year and I should have the flight tickets somewhere in my email or on my airline account, I'll make sure to make a backup though. What kinda receipts are you talking about, though? Like could it be something as silly as a restaurant receipt? Thank you and thank you in advance for any help you can give me, I'll probably be asking about every little thing once we start the process!

I know, we talked about it and it'd be sustainable, both financially and mentally, for me it's about not being able to drive around by myself and the extra costs of AOS etc. Gotcha. Thanks again for clearing this out.

Thanks, I see, is there a period of how long we have to stay together after we marry, or can it just be like a one day thing, theoretically? And yeah, I have, the biggest issue for us would probably be the costs.

Hey everyone, me (Czech) and my partner (US born citizen) were aiming to file for K-1 sometime between this June and July this year, but after reading through a number of threads here, it seems CR-1 will be the sensible choice. We will have been together for a year by the end of July/beginning of August and I already visited them earlier this year on ESTA (stayed 80 days). Reading through the forums here, I'm becoming convinced we should have just winged it and done a round trip to Vegas, lol. My partner is visiting me in December, so the next idea is to get married then, but here's the one argument for K-1 - making the wait "shorter" by about 5-6 months by filling the I-129F now instead of getting married in December and filling the I-130 afterwards . Third option is the Utah online marriage thing, I only learnt about it today - is it actually possible to apply for a CR-1 after an online marriage, considering my partner would be connecting from the US and I from Czechia? Evidence wise, my visit to the States earlier this year and my partner's visit to the Czech Republic this December sounds okay enough? Thanks in advance and I'm sorry if the same questions have been answered elsewhere already, I tried to read through a bunch, but didn't quite find the reassurance.
