I have read on VJ (so not 100% reliable) that if you enter the USA and activate the visa after 2 yrs of marriage (like u plan on doing) you should get the IR-1 visa (10 yr greencard) Thus if that is true, would be very worthwhile to delay ur coming to the USA. Best of luck!! I do recal another in a similar situation where they did enter after 2 yrs, but only got the cr-1, but they made an infopass appt, and I belive got it switched to the IR-1, but I could be mistaken!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

A topic that I checked in the other forum (CR-1/IR-1) had two differing responses . . . one said if your interview is 2 years after marriage and the other said if you enter 2 years after marriage. I think it is time to get a definitive answer from someone not on VJ, LOL!!! It would certainly be nice not to have to file to lift conditions 2 years after you enter the States.
