Spousal Visas (CR-1, IR-1)
Bringing your spouse home. The path divides based on how long you've been married at the moment your spouse becomes a permanent resident.
IR-1: For marriages more than two years old at admission. Grants unconditional permanent residence (a 10-year green card).
CR-1: For marriages less than two years old at admission. Grants conditional permanent residence (a 2-year green card). Within the 90 days before the 2-year anniversary, you and your spouse will file Form I-751 jointly to remove the conditions and convert to a 10-year card. We handle the I-751 alongside the original CR-1 so your conditional period closes cleanly.
Fiancé(e) Visa (K-1)
Brings a foreign-citizen fiancé to the U.S. to marry within 90 days of arrival.
Family Preference Petitions
When your relative doesn't qualify as an immediate relative, family preference is the framework. Each category has its own rules about who can sponsor and who can be sponsored:
F-1: Unmarried sons and daughters (21+) of U.S. citizens.
F-2A: Spouses and unmarried children under 21 of green card holders.
F-2B: Unmarried sons and daughters (21+) of green card holders.
F-3: Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens.
F-4: Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, where the petitioner is at least 21.
A common point of confusion: green card holders can only sponsor under F-2A and F-2B — they cannot sponsor married children, siblings, or adult unmarried children. Those categories require a U.S. citizen petitioner. We help you map the right category at the outset and, where it makes sense, time naturalization to convert a slower preference filing into a faster immediate-relative filing.
