No. That was not my intent. My intent was to have her come and stay with me for the duration of the travel visa.

Tourist visa for a CR1 fiance

Yeah. That's what I thought. Thank you.

Hey everyone: My wife and I got married at the beginning of 2024 and since then we applied for an immigrant spouse visa for her (CR1 case.) From what I see the processing times for her country (from start to finish) range around 3 years. Thus I was wondering if it is possible (or should I say, advisable) to have her apply for a tourist visa to come see me in the US while we're waiting for a spouse visa?
-
Oh it makes sense. But why was there a backlog in the first place?

Why does the US embassy in Narobi have such a long backlog of processing spouse visas?

We got married in Feb of 2024 and applied for a spouse visa for my wife- CR1 case. She is a Kenyan citizen. She checked and it looks like the current processing time of her visa in the US embassy in Nairobi is around 3 years. Which is way longer than most other countries (even the neighboring ones). Does anyone know - why does it take so long in Nairobi?

Good to know. As for the officiant then it was all done by the UT country people. Very easy.

Oh, good to know. Thanks.

Hi everyone: I'm applying for the marriage visa for my spouse (form I-130) while living with her in Nairobi, Kenya. I saw somewhere during the application that I will be required to pass biometric screening (fingerprints and such.) But I'm not in the US, even though I used my billing address in the US. (I'm using a virtual mailbox service for that.) So I'm wondering if I can pass biometrics in the US embassy? Has anyone tried it? And if so, where do I request it? Thanks!

Thank you all for your help! We got married at the Utah County website via their online Zoom ceremony yesterday. I can't believe how quickly it happened. Those guys are very efficient. The ceremony itself took about 10 min via Zoom and it cost $71 for the marriage license, and $36 for the Zoom ceremony itself. All from the same website. What's also funny is that there are third-party services, like Courtly that charge over $500 for the same thing. So now we're working on applying for I-130.

Thanks, guys. I couldn't reply earlier because evidently there's a limit to the number of replies that I can make per day. Anyway, we scheduled an online virtual (Zoom) ceremony via the UT website that someone linked above. We shall see how it goes. Thanks again for suggesting it! One thing is not clear to me though. I requested and paid for the marriage license (via utahcounty.gov website) and also set up & scheduled an appointment for the virtual/Zoom ceremony, also through them. But then I read somewhere that we also need someone to officiate this virtual marriage. So do we need to find someone to do that, or what?

@powerpuffwow, that's great. Thanks for that suggestion. That sounds like a winner to me! I've been reading their website, and the scheduling page mentions this: Do you know, what license are they referring to?
-
Oh wow, is that for real? So you go on a Zoom call with them and then they give you a marriage certificate for $35. And it's legal and accepted by the USCIS. I couldn't find it in their FAQ page if someone has to be a resident of the Utah to use that online marriage.

But I'm not a resident of UT. Would that matter? How does that online marriage even work?
