130

Both CR1 and I130 are immigrant visas to the US.聽

CR1 requires you as petitioner to currently reside in the US as you are the sponsor.

I130 is a permanent immigrant visa, it requires the beneficiary (your wife) to reside in the US.聽 Here is some information I found reguarding that:聽

"if the beneficiary is currently outside the United States and does not have a visa to enter the United States, it may be difficult to obtain a non-immigrant visa because the pending Form I-130 is an indicator of future immigrant intent."

If neither you or your wife intend on moving to the US I would think chances are slim.

Good luck.
