Hello, I'm a US citizen.
My girlfriend of nine years lives in Canada, and we'd like to get married. What's our best option? Chat gpt tells me that we can apply for a K1 or a CR-1 visa. If we got married tomorrow in Canada, how long would it be before she could live and work in the USA? Can she come visit me and go back and forth as she pleases until the visa is approved and she gets the green card? Is there any advantage at all for the K1 visa? Our big concern is the time she'd have to take off work if we did the K1 thing and she had to wait for a year or more to work in the USA.
