I need answers PLEASE

[Missingmyman 0]

Hello everyone. I am hoping to find the answers we need. My fiance was here in Canada for 3yrs and with the advice of a lawyer he was advised it was better for him to go back home (Jamaica). We were planning on getting married and now I am going there in a few months to do just that. He can come back on his own after 1 yr (his visa expired) but the lawyer said its better for us to marry there. Is that true? And when I file how long is the process? I have no idea what to do when I come back here to Canada or what is needed. Can anyone give me some help. Thank You.

Not much help to give, but in order for your question to be answered, there is more info that needs to be provided.

1. Are you Canadian or a USC?

2. What process are you referring to? Is it he K-1/K-3/CR-1/IR-1 process? This whole process emcompasses a USC petitioning for their SO from another country to join them in th US. Is that what you are referring to?

Please expalin more so VJers can understand and be better able to answer your questions.

Immigrating to Canada

Thank you for the link very good info on there. I am just having some tech problems when I am trying to open each form even though I downloaded Acrobat.

I am in Canada we are getting married in JA. After reading some of the info I am thinking I need to get papers and take them with me so he can fill them in. How long after should I apply even though he can't come back till after 1 yr he thinks I should get the papers in ASAP when I get back would that be correct?
