[M+S 0]

Hello

Thank you all for replying my post i never expected to get any reply ...

Well I live in Cairo ..

I also have another question for you whatis teh difference between IR-1 and CR-1

and did we do the right thing to apply for I-130 and then I129F????

My husband Mark always looks and thinks that everything will go easy but I have been there in the Embassy of Cairo for and interview for a visitor visa and of course ..the interview was horrible and my visa was denied ...which is horrible why I can't visist my husband in the Christmas???

Now i wish if Mark wasn't an American!!!

Thank you

An IR 1 is for people who have been married more than 2 years and this you will receive a 10 year green card. As for the CR 1 it is a conditional green card and is for people who have been married less than two years. My husband falls under this category. He will receive a green card that is good for 2 years but before that two years is up we have to file a petition to remove the conditions on the CR 1. Hope that answers your questions.

I am assuming you filed for the CR1 and the K3 visa, the I 130 is for an immigrant visa, whereas the K3 is a nonimmigrant visa and once you get in the USA you adjust your status here. Most people file both, but lately the CR1 have been quicker getting to the embassies than the K3s. Well that's what happen to ours.

The only thing about filing both is you lose the money for the k3 petition if your CR1 gets to the embassy first because the CR1 cancels out the K3 if it gets to the embassy first. I hope i explained that well..

By the way you have some very nice wedding pictures!
