We just got engaged not too long ago. I am a US Citizen (born and raised), and my fiancee is from Japan. We have been gathering information for a while now, but like everything else, when it comes to dealing with the government nothing is simple.

We are trying to decide on which path would be easiest: K-1 or IR-1 / CR-1.

We would like to hold the ceremony in Japan so her family and friends can attend. Her parents are older and can not travel very well. My family is a little younger more able to travel the long distance.

Based on this it would seem that the IR-1 / CR-1 route would be more straight forward, but we are reluctant to stay apart any longer than we have to. Plus it will be hard to provide proof of a valid marriage so soon after getting married. We will not have the chance to co-mingle property and finances until she is living here. Is the marriage certificate, third party affidavit, and photos enough proof?

One more thing that is bothering me. On both the I-130 and I-129F forms, the address lines for both parties are formatted only for American style addresses. Japanese addresses have a completely different format. How should I deal with this issue?

Thanks,
