Which Is Better? Fiance(e) Visa or Spousal Visa...

[morocmama 0]

Hello,

I hope somebody can help me. A friend of mine married her husband from Egypt. They married there, but it took about 15 months and 3 trips to get him here. That was back in 2002/2003. However, upon his arrival he was here maybe 6 months before receiving his greencard. I remember her saying they wanted to make sure the relationship was a bonafide relationship since that was short after 09/11/01. And given the fact he was from Egypt.

However, I see many people who are on this forum and people I know who are talking about saving money for the K-1 Visa. And i'm slightly confused. Doesn't the Embassy check financial records from the IRS for the pass 3 years? If you are saving, will that be enough to petition your loved one to come here or would you need a affidavit of support?

Which would be a better route together. On some websites I read about people's cases being delayed, or denied. I'm somewhat worried which would be a best way to go. Marry in Morocco, or petition him on a fiancee visa and marry him here.

I'm so confused. Which is the most effective way of getting your loved one here?

Thanks Alot.

If they are marry then can't go thru K1. K1 is for single people.

Tell to your friend go for a CR-1, spouse visa. Read the guides here and you will be able to understand the differences.

CR-1 is best. Look up the advantages and you'll see why.

CR-1 is best.

Except for time. We decided that K-1 was better.

I suggest you go for fiance visa but you should know that once he is here you have to marry within 90 days!

I chose the K1 visa (Fiance) because it's faster.
