CR-1 and Business Travel to the US

[jsgirlie 0]

Hello VJ'rs,

My husband and I married in the US on January 1, 2010. I am a US citizen, and he is a German citizen currently living and working in Japan. He is back in Japan until we can sort out the Visa process. I noted that the CR1 Visa may have restrictions on entry into the US once we have applied. He is a director of international business for a japanese company, and as such, will need to travel freely between the US and Japan on business over the course of the next year. Should we be concerned that he will be denied entry when visiting the US on behalf of his current employer while our application is pending?

I really appreciate any help you all could give us! I've searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer to this question. We would prefer to go the CR1 route vs. the K3 if at all possible.

Thanks!

He should be fine, as he is from a low fraud area and presumably has travelled to the USA many times without overstaying his visa already, so he has a good history. What he should do is whenever he travels to the USA, bring proof that he must return home (Japan or Germany, doesn't matter), such as a letter from his employer stating when he is expected back, lease/ rental agreement on his flat, foreign bank accounts etc.

mustafa1232 - Wrong, the visa they would apply for is the CR-1, they have not been married for 2 years already, which is the reason people get an IR-1 for.

They are not doing DCF,so the application would not be made at the embassy in Japan, but with the USCIS in the States.

Please read through the OP´s post thoroughly before posting, as incorrect posts can be misleading.

To the OP :

Just have him bring evidence that he would be leaving the US before his autorized stay is expired, as Penguin_ie listed and he should be OK!

hi yohino yes you right iam sorry for wrong post that time iam reply 3 members at a time this done by mistake The forms are the same. The difference is, if one has been married for less than 2 years at the time of getting immigrant visa (CR-1) and entering the US with immigrant visa, a conditional green card will be issued. That person would have to remove conditions after 2 years of GC issuance. Person married for Difference between IR-1 and CR-1 is following.

- IR-1 will receive 10 year validity versus CR-1 will receive 2 year validity.

- IR-1 may need to renew their Permanent Resident Card (also known as Green Card) when 10 year validity (expiry) day comes, but even if you don't renew it, or you miss it, you don't loose Legal Permanent Resident Status. You just have a couple of restrictions such as Country In/Out (Foreign country travel), Naturalization... You can renew it whenever it is convenient for you even AFTER expiry date.

- CR-1 needs to file I-751 to remove the condition for your Green Card for 2 year validity, and need to PROVE your marriage is indeed maintained with same person for those 2 years. There are some exceptions, but you have to file I-751 to remove the condition. You can file I-751 from 90 days prior to expiry date to expiry date, and if you miss it, you will loose your legal permanent resident status.

more 2 years, is awarded IR-1 immigrant visa.
