Hey everyone, so I should explain my situation to all of you. I'm a brazilian moving to canada for college in september this year and I started dating my US citizen boyfriend in October 2024 (3 months ago). We recently got to be physically together for the first time ever in Seattle from December 26 2024 to Jan 16 2025 and coming back from the trip has felt absolutely miserable. We've decided to look into marriage and a CR-1 visa. But our concern is the government finding it suspicious. They plan on coming to Brazil around June and we also plan on having me fly over to the US again in July so we can get married in Seattle and apply for the CR-1 right away but we're concerned over not having "enough proof" for them besides photos and texts of us being together. Should I be concerned?

I see. We started dating long distance in October last year and finally met in person in late december to january. If we get married all we have to do to prove it's a normal and committed marriage is visit each other then? Because they plan on coming to Brazil soon as well and since I'll be going to Canada we can visit each other a lot more often. So does that mean we should only apply after visiting a certain amount of time or does that not matter?

CR-1 is definitely the way to go then. What is the interview like? Will they find it strange if we start applying RIGHT after marriage?

Hello everyone, I'm a Brazilian who's dating an US citizen and I just got back to Brazil from a 3-week long trip together. The distance is killing the both of us and we're considering having me fly back there in june/july this year so we can get married and apply for a CR-1 right after. I'm thinking about lawyering up but the immigration process is really confusing, especially between the CR-1 and the K-1. Since we're about to get married I believe we'd have to apply for the CR-1, correct? From my understanding, once my CR-1 is approved, I get a temporary green card that lets me live and work in the US for 2 years which can then be turned into a 10-year green card, yeah? I'm also going to Canada for college in september this year so I believe that should clear any suspicion with it being a fraud marriage? I'm not sure. I'd really appreciate some advice.
