Not really. While future potential opportunities are good; if you go the K-1 route you can't work for 4-5 months after arrival into the US and receive a work permit.

 

CR-1, even upon entry you need to physically get your green card in hand.

 

Again though "future" work isn't really considered. Only work considered and all is about the petitioner and their finances and ability to support you. 

Not necessarily.. The CR-1 visa, when endorsed at POE, serves as a defacto green card for up to one year, the visa-holder is allowed to legally work on that endorsed visa while awaiting the physical green card. CR1 is indeed preferable over a k1. 

 

Of course they'll also need a social security number.

Hi, my husband and I have a similar age difference, I am 37 and he is 23. His visa just got approved. We married in Morocco and applied for the CR1 visa. When I submitted the application I told the story of how we met and all of my trips to Morocco including pictures, flight information,  and WhatsApp chat transcripts as proof of our relationship. This whole process has taken about 1 year. I visited him 5 times, most trips were around 10 days, with the longest being 20 days.

K-1

    More expensive than CR-1

    Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)

    Spouse can not leave the US until she receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-4 months)

    Spouse can not work until she receives EAD (approx 3-4 months)

    some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period .

    Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.  Typically a year or more after filing for Adjustment of Status.

CR-1

    Less expensive than K-1

    No AOS required.

    Spouse can immediately travel outside the US

    Spouse can start work if desired

    Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card withing 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US

    Spouse  has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. 

 

All-in-all, the CR-1 is superior to the K-1 imo. 

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

- Some old child of the 50's & 60's on his laptop 

 

Senior Master Sergeant, US Air Force- Retired (after 20+ years)- Missile Systems Maintenance & Titan 2 ICBM Launch Crew Duty (200+ Alert tours)

Registered Nurse- Retired- I practiced in the areas of Labor & Delivery, Home Health, Adolescent Psych, & Adult Psych.

IT Professional- Retired- Web Site Design, Hardware Maintenance, Compound Pharmacy Software Trainer, On-site go live support, Database Manager, App Designer.

______________________________________

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
