Quick Question

[Tayla 0]

Has anyone ever filed the CR-1 after one visit to the person they are with?

For instance if two people has been talking for several years, but hadn't had the courage to meet each other, and then did, decided their feelings were real, got married, and filed.. Would that work? Would the fact that they'd only met once work against them?

Would it be better to file later and see each other more than once, or would it be okay to file now.

We're in love. We have been for four years. Our fears have kept things from being physical, until now. Our relationship is solid and we'd have no trouble proving evidence for our relationship, other than us not having met in person but one time.

Please help!! Thank you!!

Just have everything in order! If your not married yet then you should have like e-mails, photos that you met this person, mail written over the past few years etc.

It has been done before, but this is just my opinion if you have waited four years I think that you should visit a few more times, depending on what country your beneficiary is from to reduce the risk of being flagged as a fraud marriage. As a cr1, they have the potential to ask for pictures, phone logs, receipts etc....ask questions such as have you met his family and vice versa. How can you do so having only met physically once. If your relationship has lasted four years, then I say invest another few months in visiting your spouse, so that you don't encounter barriers when it comes to interview time.

He doesn't keep in touch at all with his family. Completely estranged. He is coming in February to meet my family, we'll be married, etc. We have tons of emails, letter, Chats, Call Logs, etc. Would it be okay just having the visits on my side, and not his, due to that?

You will be dealing with a low fraud consulate, so you will probably be ok. On the other hand, because visiting the UK / US is so easy, they may find the single visit odd, especially as someone petitioned for a K1 for him previously. I'd make sure there is at least one more visit after the marriage one.

Make few visit and spend alot of quality time with each other. While your application is under process, then also make visit to each other, and spend more quality time so that will be a plus point at the time of interview.

Update: We both agreed that we'd wait to marry until a second visit. Things on this visit went AMAZING. I'm so happy that our love carried over perfectly to a physical relationship. We took tons of pictures, and both my parents love him. I'm so happy and I can't wait for four months to pass until he's back here again and we get married. <3
