If you are already married you can not do the K-1 route it has to be the CR-1 route unless i misunderstood your post and if so i apologize.

Thank you 😊

 

"As long as you have evidence of meeting once in person at least WITHIN two years before of filing the I-129F petition for a K-1"

[afrocraft 313]

High-fraud, low-fraud, whatever... K-1 rests on credibility. The question is: Is it more likely than not that this 2-month relationship is legit, and will end in a durable marriage? If you have the acting skills of Meryl Streep, perhaps you might convince a hopeless romantic of a consulate officer that this fiery, can't-live-without-you love is real.

 

Or just keep it real, get married first and apply for CR1 instead.

 

Good luck!

have you considered a CR1 visa? Not much longer and added benefits that you can travel and work upon arrival in the US, somewhat cheaper as well 

It’s still very much a new relationship to be thinking CR1. I think the extra time post living together on K1 is a wise choice by Lnvall. They qualify for it....

 

we shouldn’t be pushing CR1’s for the purpose of money saving or employment.... particularly if and when the time comes they are asked why they got married at her interview.... I’d much prefer her to be able to have hand on heart and honestly say for love... and not have the thought for cost savings in the back of her head

Hank is correct with his comment about relationship evidence. 

 

Both of you need to become more acquainted with the VJ step-by-step K1 Visa guide: https://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide/  . It details all of the finer points of the K1 visa process. 

 

Though Hungary, is not known as a high-fraud country. The more personal visits that the two of your can accomplish will be good evidence to the embassy/consulate officials and, of course, being together is a bonus all by itself.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Come on. OP's looking to apply for K1 after a 2 month relationship. I don't doubt their sincerity, but who'd take them seriously? They can wait till the relationship matures further, and apply for K1 then, or if they're sure it's for life, they can get married now in Hungary or a third country and go the CR1.

4 month, and i dont have to act...

[<3T&M<3 217]

My now-husband and I knew we wanted to get married only months after beginning to speak. I met him four months after "meeting" in facebook and he officially proposed. We filed I-129 exactly four months after we started chatting.

We were approved, no problems. He is from Turkey.

 

Some of us just know

Good luck!

Actually, I think they said they met and talked online, but are using 2 months as official timeframe since face to face meeting... 

 

what amazes me about your your comment is, if you don’t think they’d be taken seriously for a k1, why it is you think they’d be taken seriously for a CR1? Let’s face it, who gets married just 2 months after meeting someone? You don’t think that would raise alarm bells? K1 is smarter move, at least she’ll find out what he’s like to live with before she gets married 😂

It's not the "knowing" that I doubt. I sense OP's feelings are legit. It's the ability to prove what you know in your heart is real.

 

Please clarify your timelines: Chat for 4 months, meet once, then apply?

You raise a fair point. Consider 2 applicants:

 

A meets potential US spouse for 2 months. They say they want to get married. They apply for K1.

B meets potential US spouse for 2 months. They say they want to get married. They plan a wedding together. Not just a civil one; the whole works: Wire transfers to fund the wedding. Both families/friends attend this international festivity of love. Cultural Hungarian attire. There's pics of B's parents in tears, giving up their sweet daughter to the love of her life. And honeymoon pics and bookings. They apply for CR1.

 

Is it even close?

No... we chat since june 10, we met first like 2-3 weeks after the first chat, and then we met in every weekend or more then once a week until this point, bc he left to another country to work. We went to holidays together too.
