TN Visa - Frequently Asked Question
I am not sure whether to apply for a K3 Spouse Visa or a CR1 Visa, what do you recommend?
Answer:
Applying for the K3 Visa or the CR1 Visa depends on your situation. CR1 takes longer but you get your Green card upon entry. K3 Visa allows you to enter slightly quicker and be together sooner.
