    In some cases a K-1 is forced to get a medical a second time once in the USA. 
     

    With CR-1 it is one and done. 
     

    K-1 is just a much more complicated and expensive process. I am mystified as to why people are drawn to K-1.  Unless the alien fiancé(e) has older kids K-1 is the worst of all choices.  

    I think the data previous 2019 is what driving a lot of people to go for K1, but it is true most of the cases are taking the same time as CR1

    They look at info from 2018 and determine it’s “faster.”   It’s the rush to be together without regard to the logistics of AOS, etc.  

    Yes that has been our main motive, to be together, That drove us to think about K1 visa.

    When you marry online and are in separate locations during the marriage service you have to meet in person before filing I-130. 
     

    While the legal requirement for I-129F, for K-1, some COs will want to see evidence of multiple meetings. 
     

    https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator
     

    $535 for I-129F

     

    $535 for I-130

     

    Even  I-130  was more, if money is that tight for you now, I-129F will put more financial stress on you because your new spouse won’t be able to work for 1-2 years after entering the USA. 
     

    It will also add to emotional stress.  
     

    Also since it appears you no longer have your naturalization certificate, there is a higher chance a CO won’t ask for it at CR-1 interview versus an ISO at an I-485 interview. Replacing a naturalization certificate is expensive, $555. Since money is tight.  

     

     

     

    Good advise Mike, It takes the same amount of time and the same price, For the CR-1 does the spouse has to vaccinate anyways?

    It will take the same amount of time and the visa, when used, makes the beneficiary an LPR immediately. Versus waiting another 1-2 years for a green  card. And then after that 4 more years for a 10 year gc. 
     

    Instead  marry now (online), then after you meet in person, start the CR-1 process.  

    We already met i think i dont have the money for the CR-1 process right now. But you are right.

    For I-129F, yes. 
     

    For K-1 or I-485, generally no, but this will vary by CO and ISO.  
     

    I suggest after you file I-129F, you get a U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, CRBA, or certificate of citizenship 

     

    Why aren’t you going for CR-1 / IR-1?

     

    I was afraid it was going to take too long if i went through the CR-1. We thought about it.

    Have anyone filled the I-129 F form by themselves

    Why ? They dont care if you had them through your msrraige, other relationship, adoption , .. they just want to know 

    Okay,  Perfect I was concern about it, Becuase I heard Trump was going crazy at that time. I made a mistake because sometimes Things get rough in marriages. I am glad everybody sorounding me is good and I have not caused Harm to anyone amid my mistakes.

    Many have.  Self filing K1 people is probably the largest group here on VJ, or perhaps second largest behind IR1/CR1.

     

    Follow the K1 visa guide here on VJ.

    During my marriage we separated at some point, I made a mistake and had an affair that ended with a child outside marriage. The child was born 4 months after I got my citizenship. Two years in a half later we divorced. I am not in the birth certificate and But I have rested now many years later Now I am trying for a new opportunity in life. I was wondering if that is ground for Denaturalization.
