All right so long story short I'm from the middle East but I live and am a US citizen. Me and my "Wife" (That's what I tell all my friends she is or anybody that asks) are legally married but culturally engaged, and you might be wondering what the hell's the difference? Well it's basically that we do all the legal paperwork at the beginning with the engagement ceremony, and when we want to get "married" we just throw another ceremony and then we're allowed to bone and that's really the difference (so basically no sex before "marriage" and we need to throw a party). So now here's the thing I filed an i-130 for her and USCIS just to approved us! Now here's what I really need guidance on, am I going through the right process? Should I have done a k-1 visa or the CR-1/I-130?
I filed the I-130 and I-130A with USCIS. I also got an email from the NVC about my next steps and I started off by paying the fees. Thanks for any help that you might offer!
