When a United States citizen marries a non-citizen, the non-citizen can apply for either a K3 or CR1 visa. While the U.S. government approves most applications for these types of visas, it is important for spouses to understand the application process in its entirety. A simple mistake on a marriage visa application can lead to serious delays. The Law Office of Joel J. Turney, LLC specializes in marriage visa law. Our attorneys use years of relevant immigration law experience when handling each marriage application and can help you file appropriate paperwork in the United States.
The Difference Between K3 and CR1 Visas
Many marriage visa applicants do not understand K3 and CR1 visas. While both visas provide residency options for a non-citizen spouse of a U.S. citizen, applicants with K3 visas still need to file for Permanent Resident Status. Spouses who apply for CR1 visas automatically apply for permanent residency status and avoid the associated filing fee, which is currently $1,070. We highly recommend the CR1 marriage visa over the K3 visa, but our attorneys have significant experience with both of these options. We will work with you throughout the process for either visa and help you and your spouse make appropriate application decisions. Both the K3 and CR1 visas are designed specifically for spouses. Fiances are legally distinct and must apply for a K1 visa. See our fiance visa website for more information about K1 visas.
