Thank you so much! And there is no 90 day rule for getting married in this case right? (when I plan to go back to my country)

Whenever I came to the US, I have always been asked what the purpose of my visit is. So basically if I am being asked that question at the border, and I tell them that "I wanna visit my boyfriend" (only visit), but I also marry during my visit, and start the CR1 process after I return to my country, it all will cause an issue for the marriage visa process or at the border again when I want to visit on a tourist visa again while my CR1 is pending?

Okay so if I am asked what is the purpose of my visit, what should I tell them? (in case I want to get married and come back to my country and start the CR1/IR1 process?

No I don't mean bringing a wedding dress, but I mean getting a marriage certificate when I say get married. But if I enter the US with the intention of getting married there and then returning to my country, what should I tell the CBP?

Also, is it allowed to get married in the US on a tourist visa, and then come back to Armenia and start the process of CR-1/IR-1? Wouldn't it be an issue?

Armenia.

Do you know if it takes that long is bacause of the backlog from covid, or regardless?

Do you know how long it takes to get CR-1/IR-1 these days?

Thank you so much guys!

Hello! Does anyone know: 1. How the consulate determines which visa you need CR-1 or IR-1? I know the conditions for each, but I wonder how they decide which visa to grant? Do they count the time from your official marriage until the day when you enter the US, or until your interview date at the consulate? For example, it might be that it's still 1 year and 9 months have passed since my marriage, but because after the interview you get 6 months period of time during which you can go to the US, within those 6 months my marriage will reach 2 years already. So in that case what visa will I be granted - CR-1 or IR-1? 2. Am I allowed to travel on my B2/B1 visa to see my husband while my spouse visa (either CR-1 or IR-1) is pending? What shall I tell at the border when I enter the US? thank you so much!!!
