CR-1 Marriage Visa & IR-1 Marriage Visa

If the American Citizen petitioner and Thai spouse don’t not mind waiting approximately 10 months to obtain a visa, then the CR-1 visa can be a great option.

During the visa application process, our firm processes not only the visa application, but also the beneficiaries adjustment of status to permanent resident (green card) and social security number. With the CR-1 visa there is no need to make additional applications for either the green card or social security number, as is necessary with the K-3 visa.

When the Thai spouse arrives in America on a CR-1 visa the airport immigration officer will stamp the passport with a one year temporary green card. The permanent green card and social security card are automatically generated and sent to the home address of the American citizen petitioner within 30-60 days after the US arrival of the foreign citizen spouse.

Obtaining the green card and social security number are both separate processes once in the USA on a K-3 marriage visa. The green card application can be as involved as the K-3 visa application, making the CR-1 visa preferable as everything has already been completed by our firm.

The CR-1 visa is issued for couples who have been married less than two years. Upon arrival in the USA the foreign citizen spouse will receive a conditional temporary two year green card. In the 90 day period prior to the end of the two year term, the couple will file to lift the conditional status and receive a ten year green card.

The IR-1 visa is issued for couples who have been married for not less than two years. Upon arrival in the USA the foreign citizen spouse will receive a ten year green card.

Children immigrating at the same time as their parents will receive the same visas and green cards as their parents.
