Beginner's Questions

#1. Let's say my soon to be husband was in a relationship a couple of years ago and they applied for a visa, but then they broke up later. Will this affect our plants for the CR1?

#2.There was a year in between our relationship where we had a rough time, and we didn't talk... Will this affect us? If we have two years before and several months afterward with proof of a relationship?

Please, any help, answers, and encouragement are welcome!!!

#1 - Your soon to be husband applied for visa? What kind of visa it was? Did he get the CR status?

need more info to give some potential answers. Ultimately CO is decision maker.

#2 - If you guys have been in healthy for a good amount time, and have enough evidences, then things should be fine.

I'm not sure of all the details but they applied for the K1 Visa. I know his ex sent off the paperwork, but they broke things off soon after that. My worry is that it will cause a red flag because they had tried to apply for it before. We're applying for the CR1 in February, after our wedding. Hope this helps, and thank you for helping me understand!!

Oh, should I include the evidence of a relationship from before the year we took off (weren't talking) as well?

My fiance' was in a relationship a little over two years ago and they filed for a K1 Visa. They broke up shortly afterward and we've been together ever since.

My question is, if it's been over two years since it was filed, will it cause problems for us when we file the CR1 in February of next year?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't want anything to come between us being together.

Thank you!!

I see! As long as his ex didnt get in states, then that is all right. Of course, it can be a little red flag, but no need to get too much worried about that at all. Everything should be fine then.

Get alot of evidences, you can explain your case honestly, like you guys met in 2010, then didnt talk for 1 year for whatever reason, but it still indicates about the timeframe when you guy first met.

It will not cause any problem for you in regards to you filing a petition on his behalf. However your spouse to-be should be prepared to answer any questions about the prior relationship should a CO decide to ask about it.

That would be my answer but I would add that since the immigrant is coming from the UK, the prior filing will likely result in much less difficulty than if they were coming from a high fraud region.

Thank you so much for your answers!! This is a big help and a big relief for us.

My next question is this:

Can anyone give me a "dumbed down" understanding of the financial needs for the CR1? Not the fees, but the "Sponsor/Co Sponsor, Income Tax Returns, etc" side of things?

Thank you!!!

Download the I-864, instructions for it and the I-864p.

The dumbed down version is the US Citizen needs evidence of a job with enough gross earnings to meet the 125% poverty level for their household size including the immigrant.
