    IR/CR Visa Overview

    IR (Immediate Relative) and CR (Conditional Resident) immigrant visas are for the spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who have a legitimate family relationship. The CR-1 is the spousal visa if married less than 2 years, and the IR-1 is the spousal visa if married more than 2 years. Applicants must have an approved I-130 petition, demonstrate a bona fide relationship, provide an affidavit of support (Form I-864), complete a medical examination, and undergo consular processing.

    These visas grant permanent residency, with CR visas being valid for two years. To remove conditions on residency, recipients must file Form I-751. Costs include the I-130 petition fee of $675, National Visa Center fees totaling approximately $450, a USCIS immigrant fee of $220, and varying medical examination fees. The process is considered to be of moderate difficulty, with visa agency involvement being highly recommended. Processing times are generally 12 to 18 months, and approval rates range from 85–90%.

    VAWA Self-Petition (I-360)

    The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petition process allows certain individuals who have experienced qualifying abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child to seek immigration relief independently. Applicants must provide substantial evidence of the abuse and submit a self-petition using Form I-360.

    Successful VAWA self-petitioners may become eligible for work authorization and eventually a green card. The I-360 fee is often waived, but standard fees apply for Form I-485 adjustment of status. The process is highly complex due to sensitive documentation requirements, and the involvement of a visa agency is essential. Processing times typically range from 12 to more than 24 months. Approval rates vary and are determined on a case-by-case basis.
