Hi,

When my wife gets her CR-1 visa and finally steps foot in usa, will she be a Legal Permanent Resident?

If so, does that mean she can become a USA citizen in 3 years?

Thanks Mike

When she receives her CR-1, she's already a PR. There's no need to adjust status. She can work immediately upon arrival. If your relationship was within two years, you need to file form I-751 to remove conditions.

Thanks for your help!

Actually, I'm tryng to find out if she can in fact become a US citizen in 3 yrs. as opposed to 5 yrs with other visas(k-1 etc)

The reason I'm asking is we got a 221g at her interview and the CO wants us to get a co-sponsor.

And before I start asking someone, I want to be able to tell them the risk involved and the length of time they will be commiting too.

So I guess the queston now is.....Can she become a US citizen in 3 years instead of 5?

I answered you here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59844

Yes, via marriage, she will be eligible to apply (if all other conditions are met) after 3 years as a PR (which she becomes at entry).

This is the way my husband did it, partly for the reason you cite.

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....
