I'm not sure I understand the CR-1 Visa. My fiance and I have decided to get married in the Philippines but I can't live there. If we do get married there (and we want to) I have to come home to the USA after the wedding and try to get her here later. Is that what the CR-1 is for? The rules seem to indicate that the Embassy interview will require proof of us living together with proof of joint rent, bills, bank accounts etc but I only visit there, I don't live there. Isn't a marriage certificate and affidavits from witnesses enough? Or, is it impossible to marry her there and get her here without living with her there for 2 years? I can't find clear explanation on how it works.
