USC Marriage Japanese - CR-1 Visa

[Charles & Ai 0]

Hello everyone here at Visa Journey. So far I have just done a lot of reading and a couple of questions to people in a similar situation. I figured I would ask my own question on the forum to see what people suggest.

From all of the reading I have done I have com to the conclusion of going for a CR-1 Visa after being married in December but I figured I would ask everyone here their opinion.

Question is:

Should I pursue a K3 or CR-1 Visa?

Plans:

I am a USC planning to have a marriage in Japan in December 2007. She is a Japanese native. She lived in the USA for a couple years as a student. She received a DWI (Like a DUI but not as bad). I will start a professional Job in January and do not mind living apart for sometime while I save money so when she comes to the states we have a place to live and a car for her (all of her needs can be met when she finally comes here).

I am thinking to go a CR-1 instead of a K3 because if the CR-1 does take a little longer we do not mind. Also, she won't have to apply for a change of status when she comes here to the states.

Does anyone have an opinion that differs from what my plan is and if so why?

Thank-you everyone who has already been of help, I really do appreciate it!

Is there any way for me to delete this thread? I am kind of new to online message forums.

Thank-you,

Go with CR-1. It is the best. Use the James shortcuts. good luck.

Just for reinforcement, if you're leaning towards the CR1, go for it. You won't regret it.
