Hi everyone,

I am a new member here.

I knew my fiancé through facebook and met him in person 2 times (Dec 2011 and Aug 2013)

I want to file the visa for him but I am in between K1 & CR1 visa since I heard others said that K1 visa will interview harder and most of the K1 cases were denied.

Also, my concern is since I came to the US by K1 visa before but I already divorced. I am a US citizen now.

Is it going to hard for us when filling any visa?

Thanks

You may want to check in your regional forum about which one is harder, k1 or cr1. I'm not sure but I know there are special requirements to going through the embassy there compared to other countries.
