Hi, i know it will be a while till i get my visa done but we have a question. Does petitioner need to be in US at the moment of entering of beneficiary on IR-1/CR-1 Spose Visa ?

I could not find it anywhere on travelstate.gov but our friend was informed about it at the interview....

My husband will be at that time working on cruise ship, route will be Alaska so he will have US ports but will it count as him being in US?

Thanks.

The petitioner needs to be residing inside the US. If they are out of the country with work, but do live inside the US (pay taxes, have a residence etc), that should be fine.
