CR1 question

[ffp 2]

Hello

I have a friend who planning to go oversea and get married there instead of doing K1. It look like CR1 visa now get approved faster.

The only thing he is worried about how strict is the rules and what proof they need. He plan to go there for 2 1/2 weeks and get married there and later apply for visa on his return. They did not live together in apartment nor have bank accounts together. Does he need re-visit her after he get married or just open bank account together or something similar to it.

I told him K1 is easier but more expensive and possibly slow...

Note: It will be his first visit though...

the 1-129f k-1 is faster, it cost more money you will need to adjust status, ---if you get married there you can file the 1-130 cr-1 visa it will take a little longer mybe 8 to 10 months estimatewith that when you arrive in the us you can get your social security card to work, you will get your permanent resident card two years then remove conditions,

They understand that when a spouse lives abroad, you won;t have much bonafides such as joint bills, accounts etc. But you need other proof, as mentioned above- showing you communicate, maybe put her on his life insurance, next-of-kin at work, and yes, the more visits the better.
