Of course, thank you for feedback. The discourse was regarding recognition in both countries of a legal wedding. As many users have informed me, the US will recognized my wedding here which is great.

As I mentioned in my post, a lawyer told me that.

Thank you for the response Mike. Yes, I am male. We are thinking of getting married at the US embassy so that it would be recognized in both countries and on file (a Peruvian lawyer recommended that we do that). Otherwise we can get married at the local municipality in the city we live in here. Should I apply for the I-130 immediately after getting married or after living in Peru for the two to three years I mentioned? She supports me financially yes, but that is only until I graduate from my university.

Through marriage. After two years of legal residence in the country I should be eligible for citizenship here. Thanks for the feedback!

I am engaged to my fiancee. I have been living here in Peru with her for a total combined time of about one year. I am in Peru as a tourist on a tourist visa which means every 3 months or so I have to leave and stay in the US for a month. We want to get married because we are in love and being able to fix the visa issues would make life so much easier. I am asking about which visa to apply for as I am unfamiliar with the process and feel like I need some advice. Once married, we plan on living in Peru for 2-3 years so that I can get the citizenship here and become Peruvian but after that we would like to go to America one day. I have some concerns as their is a largish age gap (16 years). I am 25 years old and she is 41. She works as a doctor in hospital and I am studying an online bachelor's degree program for an American university. Truthfully she maintains me with her salary. We had gotten pregnant but unfortunately we had a miscarriage. Will the age gap be seen as an issue? Which visa (CR1 or K1) should I plan for? Thanks in advance!
