K1 or CR1
-
Thank you for sharing. Both your perspectives has really helped in making a decision. As you said, while it is annoying the CR1 does seem like a far better option.
-
Honestly, thank you so much for taking your time and explaining the reality of actually being under this process. You put so many things in perspective that I never really thought of and it has helped both my partner and I in making the right decision for us. Your words went a long way.

Our lawyer actually told us and that it would be a shorter wait than the CR-1. Also like I mentioned in my previous reply I thought each State had a specific processing center, but someone corrected me on that.
-
Thank you for clarifying that!

Thank you for clarifying that, I was told NYC based applications would go to Vermont, but based on your clarification it sounds like its more so randomized/unknown. Right, the battle is either we want to do ~two years apart (CR1) or ~one year apart (K1) and then the remaining process for K1 I’d be there with my partner.

Thank you! I was more so trying to explain that I don’t need to depend on vacation time to visit my partner while waiting for a K1 or CR1 to process. And hoping to WFH while I’m on a short visit. So the benefit was that I could visit quiet frequently. Hope that made sense

Thank you so much for your help. I’ve been looking at some timelines, but I’ve been focusing on both the petitioner and beneficiary location. Assuming New York is the Vermont location and Toronto is Montreal. I’ll look more into my consulate timeline

Thank you! I’ve read the crazycat comparison of the CR1 and K1 :). Are you aware of the current processing time for someone whole live in NYC and Toronto?

Hi there, I am new here so apologies if this is the wrong forum to post this question. However, I am turning to the community to help us decide on the best options for our situation, considering there’s a lot of different information out there, and I am slowly losing my mind. I am a Canadian citizen based in Toronto, and my partner is a USC based in New York. As everyone here, we want to close the long distance gap asap, and are exploring the two options - K1 or CR1. I understand the benefits of CR1, however, we want to go with the process that would get me there the fastest. If we were to go through the K1 we’re financially capable of surviving for 12-15 months without a work authorization (given it takes that long for me to get one). We also want to start a family and would not want to do that with the distance. So there is a lot to consider. Additionally, I work from home full-time so I can travel and work from anywhere. Giving our circumstance, would the K1 or CR1 be there better and fastest option? Or are the timelines the same for both process? Thank you so in advance for all your inputs! Cheers!
