Hapa77 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 how long did it take to get your spouse green card please list if you did fiance visa or cr1 visa my wife got hers 45 days Link to comment
dnoblett Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 K-1 fiance can take a long time from POE to card, due to needing to first marry and then filing to adjust status. When adjusting status K-1 cannot work, travel until they receive authorization. CR-1 has green card status immediately upon entry to the states, the visa acts as a green card until actual card arrives in the mail. The visa has notation it serves as a temp I-551 for up to a year after arrival until card arrives. VJ timelines can give you very good estimates they have thousands of data points to work with. http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/ Link to comment
