According to incomplete statistics, nearly 20 million people travel to the United States every year. They work, study, and meet new friends on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Some of them will meet their favorite partner in a foreign country and finally enter the palace of marriage.
But if the other half is a US citizen, what changes will our identity change after marriage?
Generally speaking, as long as the spouse is a formal US citizen, we can get immigration permissions to get the visa issued by the US government CR1. If you have a child under 18 years old, the child can apply for CR2. It is particularly important to note that CR visa can only be provided to couples who have been married for less than two years. If it exceeds two years, the IR visa will be issued.
Then how should I apply for CR visa ? The American Visa Home, which has 15 years of visa experience, has compiled the following content for you.
First of all, the following conditions must be met:
1. The marriage is true and valid: both parties are voluntary and legal to form a family. If there is divorce or widowhood, you can present a certificate.
2. Marriage really exists: If the relationship between the two parties has broken down when applying, if they have separated but have not filed for divorce, they can still apply.
3. Marriage is not for immigration: the questions asked a lot during the interview are probably the level of understanding between the two people and their shared life experience, etc. If there is no reasonable marriage background, it is very likely that they are suspected of being a fake marriage and are rejected. If the applicant has ever been deported from the United States, the application will be even more difficult. The difference between
and other visa application is that CR visa materials can be submitted in the United States or in China. The materials will also be different depending on the location.
