The guide gives a nice comparison of cost & time involved as well as marital status required for each.

CR-1 is a spousal. Read the comparison chart. It explains everything.

Thanks a lot it really helps my friend, i already told her. But she's asking me if on CR-1 do u get the 10 years GC right away or still 2 years first then 10 years after? how about on K3? it doesnt say anything about it on the link. Thanks

CR-1 is for people married less than 2 years so you get a 2 year green card.

IR-1 is for people married more than 2 years and you get a 10 year green card.

K-3 does not get a green card on entry you have to apply for it once in the USA and pay extra money.

Reading is good.
