What is IR- 1/CR- 1 visa? Overview of CR 1/CR2/IR 1/IR2 visa abroad: \x0d\CR 1: The spouse of an American citizen who has been married for two years is called CR 1, and if he applies for unmarried children under 2 1 at the same time, it is called cr2 \ x0d \ IR. If you apply for unmarried children under 2 1 year-old at the same time, it is called IR2 \x0d\ foreign CR/IR, that is, American citizens submit CR/IR applications intelligently in the regional immigration service center where they live \x0d\ On the contrary, American citizens who live in China and have a residence permit in China need to apply for domestic CR/IR (the speed of domestic CR/IR visa is much faster than that of foreign CR/IR). American citizens can submit their applications directly to the American Consulate in China. \ x0d \ x0d \ DCF, CR 1 and IR 1 are immigrant visas. You don't need to apply for a green card when you enter the United States with any of these visas. You can get a two-year conditional green card at home in the United States within five to eight weeks (less than two years from the date of marriage to the date of entering the United States). \x0d\ If it takes more than 2 years from the date of marriage to the date of entry into the United States, you can get a green card of 10 years. \ x0d \ x0d \ CR 1 If you have been married for two years at the time of the interview, the immigration officer will automatically change your application from CR 1 to IR 1 (indicating that the green card you get after entering the country must be 10). If you get married for two years, the immigration officer will enter the country with a cr 1 visa. If you haven't got a green card when you enter the country, and it has been 2 years, you can apply to the immigration officer for a green card of 10. If you can't convince the immigration officer, you will still get a green card for two years. If yes, you can apply to the immigration officer for a new green card for 10 years after entering the country. \x0d\ Child: Your husband is an American citizen, and he can also apply for a CR2/IR2 visa for your child (the stepdaughter of an American citizen). However, under the following circumstances, you can only apply for an F 1/F3 visa for your sponsored child after becoming a naturalized American citizen. Your husband, an American citizen, can't apply for any visa for your child: \x0d\ 1: Your child was over 2 1 year-old when you applied \x0d\2: Your child was over 18/year-old when you married your husband. You can't bring your own CR2/IR2, so you need to fill out the application form separately for your child and pay the application fee. American citizens can apply for American passports for their children directly at the American consulate, and they can go to the United States with you. If it is not biological, you need to fill in an application form and pay the application fee. CR 1 cannot bring its own CR2. \x0d\\x0d\ After the application of foreign CR 1/IR 1 is accepted by the Immigration Bureau, that is, after receiving P 1, you can start to apply for K3/K4, so as to enter the United States in advance to reunite with your husband, continue to wait for the CR/IR visa in the United States or apply for a green card directly in the United States.

Keep the originals of all original documents.

What will happen after you send I- 130? A few weeks after you send I- 130 to apply for USCIS, you will receive a letter (NOA Action Notice). It means that you have opened your I- 130 application. You can check your application process here. \x0d\ When your I- 130 application is approved, the service center operating your application will send you a NOA declaration notice to inform you that your application has been approved. At this time, your documents will be transferred to the NVC National Visa Center for processing. \x0d\ A few weeks after you receive NOA's notice of approving your I- 130, NVC will send a form package to your foreign spouse through the US Consulate General in Guangzhou, and you (the foreign spouse of an American citizen) must fill in the relevant form for future interview. The documents in the package generally include OF- 169, Part 1 in OF-230, Part 2 (to be filled out by the beneficiary in China) and an I-864 form filled out by American citizens. I-864 is an economic guarantee form, which requires the applicant (American citizen) to provide a tax refund form for the last three years (or a tax copy of the tax bill, which can be obtained free of charge at the IRS). Detailed requirements can be found in I-864. The applicant's income must reach 125% of the US federal poverty line, which proves that China beneficiaries will not become a social burden of the United States due to financial difficulties after entering the country. If the income of the American spouse can't meet this economic requirement, then the American applicant must fill in I-864, and at the same time, he must find an American permanent resident co-guarantor (which needs to meet the requirements of the economic bottom line) to guarantee the China beneficiary. (We call it joint guarantee) The conditions of joint guarantor are: American citizen, living in the United States, providing tax refund forms (bank statements or other financial records) for the last three years, and the guarantor must provide the same I-864 for the other party. Together with the applicant's form. \x0d\ Some forms need to be filled out and sent back to NVC or the Embassy of China (some forms need to be kept by themselves so that they can be brought to the beneficiaries in China for interviews in the future).

Note: Make one copy (preferably two copies) of all the original materials and bring them to the interview. \ x0d \ After NVC or foreign consulates receive the above forms and supporting documents (it may not be necessary to send them all back at that time), they will arrange an interview date for those who intend to emigrate.

There is a list of documents to bring in the interview notice, which will also tell you the amount you need to pay. The interview time is usually about 10 minutes, depending on your personal situation. Before the interview, the beneficiaries in China need to swear that everything they say is true. In short, the beneficiary in China needs to bring as many documents as possible to convince the visa officer that your relationship is true during the interview. (These materials include telephone lists, money orders and emails. Of course, there are all kinds of notarization and so on. If the interview is successful, the beneficiary in China can get a visa by mail within a few days. If beneficiaries in China need to mail their visas through the embassy, they will have to pay extra fees and wait for a week. Yi Hao visa advises the beneficiary to stay in Guangzhou for a few more days to wait for the visa. Once you get a visa and enter the country, you will immediately become a permanent resident of the United States. The visa is valid for 6 months and valid for entry into the United States within 6 months from the date of interview. If American citizens and China beneficiaries have been married for two years when they enter the United States, they will get a conditional green card for two years. If you have been married for two years when the beneficiary enters the United States, the beneficiary in China will get a green card of 10, that is, a permanent green card. \x0d\ You must apply for a permanent green card 90 days before the two-year green card expires. I-75 1 form is required to apply for a permanent green card. See \ x0d \ conditional status of remoit \ x0d \ for more information, see I- 130 FAQ.
