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 (K-1s are soon to be extremely expensive)
  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. 
   

 

Thank you for this, it really helps alot, I will discuss it with my fiancé again we’re still in the beginning stages of everything. 

I appreciate the suggestion, due to our current situation k1 is the best option for us right now. We’re not planning on filing very soon, we’re still looking into other options and doing our own research to make sure we don’t waste time. 

My fiancé and I met almost 3 and a half years ago, both of us were going to school when we met. My fiancé finished getting his degree/certification about a year a half later, I still had about another year and a half left before i could get my degree. During the first couple years of LDR we really took the time to get to know one another and give each other the space we needed so we can finish our education, we’re both happy that we really took the time to get into a stable place, we physically met twice last year after I graduated. My suggestion… don’t rush.

Doesn't sound like a big issue to me.  But you must be truthful.

Okay thank you so much, that really helps a lot! (I was really worried about it 😅) I just wanted to make sure since like you said you have to be truthful.

He was arrested.....The answer is "Yes".  

Should it be something to worry about though? He never received any fines, paperwork or physical paper citations, I’m sure he was cited or something but nothing really happened after. 

My fiancé and I are planning on filing for a fiancé visa soon. My fiancé is Moroccan I’m the US citizen fiancé, but one of the things we’re unsure about is whether to put yes or no on the I-129f form, part 3, 4.a. My Moroccan fiancé during the pandemic was caught without a mask, he was arrested (they put handcuffs on him and took him to the police station) he says they took his information and his fingerprints, but he was never cited or anything, the police say they took him in because he wasn’t following the city ordinance to wear a mask. But lots of people were taken in for not wearing a mask, according to my fiancé. Should we still disclose it? And will this be a reason for rejection if we do disclose it?

I'd like to also note that he has to get background checks whenever he gets a new job which he’s done on more than 1 occasion and his employers don’t say anything and his background check doesn’t show anything.
