Hello,
I am currently going through the naturalization process and hope to get my USC in a few months. While I wait, I wanted to get ready to apply for my wife who is currently in India (I got married in year 3 of my GC so we have been apart for 2 years and it's really getting very tough for us).
I wanted to ask the members here on what I should do while I wait since I want to apply for her as soon as possible.
Question 1
I see two types of applications,
a) Immigrant visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR1 or CR1)
b) Nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3)
I am not sure which is a better choice. Where can I find more information about these two?
Question 2
My wife is from Iran but living in India for the past several years. I have a marriage certificate from Government Of India. I have kept a lot of documents proving my ties to her, travel tickets and photos etc. along with other documents like the money I send to support her.
What else do I need to have in order for applying for her. I am an Indian citizen.
Question 3
Do you know any good lawyers who can take up my case. Preferably someone who has experience with a case like mine - because my wife is from Iran.
