  1. Couples that follow the tradition of one breadwinner, one homemaker don't necessarily need work authorization (if the USC is the breadwinner). Yes, I know that's very last century, but it's what the K-1 is designed for, and that's reflected in other ways too (such as needing evidence of approval of families). In such a situation the faster arrival in the US means less time supporting separate households and less travel, which can make the K-1 more cost-effective in total despite the higher fees. (That does assume that K-1 is faster processing than CR-1, which is not guaranteed and varies with agency priorities, but for traditionalists, having that processing overlap with the engagement period also is a benefit)
  2. You need to understand that this is completely wrong. Immigration is under jurisdiction of the federal government, and marijuana is banned under federal law. It doesn't matter if state and local officials turn a blind eye to it. Coming from a high risk country, the two of you need to avoid any possible problem. He needs to stop using, urgently, and stay clean after his arrival in the USA. Even residue of marijuana smoke on his clothes or luggage could cause scrutiny that you really don't want.
  3. Have you checked what the minimum enrollment at your university is for full-time status? It may feel wasteful if tuition is the same for 12 credits or 18, to take only 12, but you may find it practical to maintain enrollment while working.
  4. Yes February 2025 filing here, not a peep from USCIS yet. But I see that December filers are getting NOA2 now. If you create your timeline, VJ will predict when your NOA2 comes.
  5. The one time inside the US you must assert your single status is when applying for the marriage license, and most places they'll just take your (written and signed) attestation. But if you already have such a document, bringing it when applying for the marriage license is certainly a good idea.
