hello all! so i've just received my I-130 approval letter along with our case number and packet 3.

i filed my I-130 as a DCF as i live in india with my husband, but on the letter the embassy sent it said i was applying for a CR-1 visa.

can anyone explain what this means? from what's already posted it sounds similar to all the other marriage based visas, but hopefully quicker.

also does anyone know the correct way to arrange attachments? I have all these attachments for my I-864 and I'm not sure if there's a system they expect you to know while making them.

and last one i swear, what kind of things have people used for the "proof of the relationship" section. like i said i live with my husband in india so i don't have letters and phone bills because we've been together! any suggestions?

thank you bloggers! much love

I am also filing a CR-1 and when I saw a immigration lawyer she said this was the way to go for married people. Don't know much about the K-3 and how it is different.

As for "proof of marriage"......how long have you been married? I think showing any kind of records that have your name and address and his name and address would sho CO-HABITATION (living together). So if you have identity cards, school records, medical records that notes same addresses that would be good. Photos of your house or unit is also good.

Also consider going to your local panchayat and getting something written from them. Written in English or translated and certified of couse.

Best of luck.

and for you trivia people out there, CR stands for "conditional resident". The condition is as follows:

Immigrant receives a Green Card valid for 2 years. At the end of 2 years, you have (90 - I think) days to file for a change of status. At this time, you'll need to:

-File the appropriate form

-Verify you're still married

-Go for interview

-Get a real green card & conditions lifted

CR's are issued (see above) to all people who've been married for only a short time.

With IR visa, you get a full-out green card once you enter the USA.

The moral of my story: Stick with someone who matches your own culture.

( This coming from an Arab who married an Arab from overseas... go figure. )

Just to make it clear, the only difference between the conditional green card and the 10-year green card is that with the conditional, two-year card, you need to remove conditions after two years. You do not have any less rights or anything like that. :)
