Let Us Help You Bring Your Spouse to the United States
Complete Spouse Visa Help From Start to Finish
We evaluate your situation before preparing your complete spouse visa petition package, identify potential concerns, review your financial circumstances, and answer your questions throughout the process. After the petition is approved, we personally guide you through every step of the National Visa Center phase, prepare your Affidavit of Support, assist with the online visa application, help you gather the required petitioner and beneficiary documents, and review those documents before submission. We also walk you through arranging the required appointments, thoroughly prepare your spouse for the U.S. Embassy interview, and continue assisting you through visa issuance—including responding to Requests for Evidence and helping you address any additional documents or information requested by the U.S. Embassy.

What Is a CR-1 or IR-1 Spouse Visa?
A CR-1 or IR-1 immigrant visa allows the foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States as a lawful permanent resident. The visa classification generally depends on how long the couple has been married when permanent residence is granted.
CR-1 Visa
Generally applies when the couple has been married for less than two years when the foreign spouse becomes a permanent resident. The initial permanent resident status is conditional.
IR-1 Visa
Generally applies when the couple has been married for at least two years when the foreign spouse becomes a permanent resident.
Requirements for a CR-1 or IR-1 Spouse Visa
- The petitioner must be a U.S. citizen.
- The couple must be legally married.
- Any previous marriages must have legally ended through divorce, annulment, or death.
- The marriage must be genuine and not entered into solely for immigration purposes.
- The U.S. citizen must meet the applicable financial requirements or have an acceptable joint sponsor.
- The U.S. citizen must maintain a U.S. residence or demonstrate plans to reestablish residence in the United States.
- The petitioner must be at least 18 years old before signing the Affidavit of Support.
Planning an Online Marriage?
An online marriage may qualify for immigration purposes when it is completed correctly. If the couple was not physically together during the ceremony, they generally must meet in person afterward before the spouse visa petition is filed.
Please contact us before arranging an online wedding. We can evaluate your plans and explain what will be needed before filing.

Visa and U.S. Entry
We continue assisting with questions, additional Embassy requests, and the final steps through visa issuance and entry into the United States.
Bringing Your Spouse’s Children
Children are not automatically included in a spouse visa petition. Each qualifying child requires a separate petition package and immigrant visa case.
- The child must generally have been under 18 when the U.S. citizen married the child’s parent.
- Each child requires separate paperwork, supporting documents, government fees, and medical examination.
- We prepare the child’s petition package and guide the family through the child’s separate visa process.
- Our additional service fee is $300 for each qualifying child applying for a visa.
Some children born outside the United States may already qualify for U.S. citizenship through a U.S.-citizen parent. We evaluate this issue before beginning a child’s immigrant visa case.
Estimated Cost for One Spouse Visa
Our complete spouse visa service fee is paid when you place your order. Government fees, medical expenses, and other third-party costs are separate and may change.
Includes case evaluation, preparation of your spouse visa petition package, personal guidance, National Visa Center assistance, Affidavit of Support preparation, document review, appointment guidance, Embassy interview preparation, and continued assistance through visa issuance.
Estimated Cost for One Qualifying Child
Our service fee is $300 per qualifying child. With the separate government fees, medical examination, and immigrant fee, the estimated total is approximately $1,895 for a child age 14 or younger. Actual costs may vary.
How Long Does a Spouse Visa Take?
Most spouse visa cases take approximately 18 to 24 months from filing through visa issuance. Processing times vary by government workload, the circumstances of the case, the accuracy and completeness of the submission, and Embassy appointment availability.
Starting with a carefully prepared case helps reduce the risk of preventable errors, Requests for Evidence, rejected submissions, and unnecessary delays.
