Totally agree with chrissandra on everything.
My wife found not working fun for a couple of weeks before it started driving her crazy, or was I the one doing that?
We ended up getting a puppy since she was home to train her all day. So all in all now we have a well trained 9 month old lab that we both adore so it wasn't all bad.
The biggest issue is that she was unable to travel back to Canada while we waited forever for her greencard.
Her father passed away from covid right before moving to the US and we we're worried about the same happening to her mother during this time.
The CR1 is by far the best the way to go. We only went with the K1 because at the time it was faster and gave us a 3 month living together trial run before anything was super final, but we regretted that immediately after she got here.
We also did all the paperwork ourselves and while it can be overwhelming sometimes it saved us a ton of money.
