I get everyone’s concerns but this really also depends on the state and consulate he goes to it’s not about the money it’s about me and him and the choice to take the k1 route because I’d like him to be here faster than waiting a year + on a cr1 it’s just my preference and it’s a choice I’m making so that I don’t have to be without my fiancé I’d like my family to be part of our our engagement ceremony’s as I’m Native American,and culture needs to be respected so that’s why I’m not going to just marry on a cr1 because it’s cheaper.id rather spend 3000$ on all this than suffer a whole year to not see him and unfortunately his work doesn’t permit him to be out the country as often as normal,we’ve tried to get him here in a B2 tourist and got denied 🙅♀️ unfortunately not easy but easy for me to see him every 4 months as I can afford it so yeah love wins at the end
