Re: Next Step - CR1 Application

Re: Next Step - CR1 Application

My wife has now been invited to pay my IV fee of $325.

Re: CR-1 Visa Timeline/Journey!

Actually, reading the letter, it seems my US wife needs to start the online process, especially since she has the US bank account to pay the fee(s).

Is it better for her or me to be the agent?
