SPOUSE VISA
If you are a U.S Citizen and are married to or planning to marry a foreign national, there are two types of visas available to spouses of U.S. Citizens.1) CR1 Visa (or Conditional Resident Visa) for foreign spouses of US Citizens whose marriage is less than two years old.
2) Immigrant Visa (IV) for alien spouses of US Citizens whose marriage is at least two years old.
Many are aware of the K3 visa that enables alien spouses of US Citizens to enter the U.S. while they wait to apply for lawful permanent residence status. The K3 visa application may be filed at anytime after you file your CR1/IV application. However, if the CR1/IV application is approved before or at the same time as the K3 visa application, the K3 process will be closed by USCIS & your spouse will only be eligible for the CR1/IV. Alien spouses of US Citizens entering the US on a CR1 Visa or immigrant Visa receive their Greencard in the mail upon entering the US. No additional work or cost involved. However, if your spouse enters the US on a K3, after their arrival in the US, they must file an application for Adjustment of Status. In other words, they must file a greencard application after arrival in the US inorder to receive thier greencard.
