You can marry where ever you wish....Just note that K3 visa is processed in the country of Marriage and CR1 in country of residence.

You cannot reside in the US while awaiting Visa. You might want to consider filing a K1 (Fiancee Visa)

My fiancee is an American, can we marry in Canada and file for my application so I can move to the states.

Or do we have to get married in the states in order for me to live in the states while our application is being processed? Thank You!

k-3 is marrying abroad, k-1 is submitting the I-129F (fiance visa) getting approved and you coming to the U.S and marrying your fiance here, filling your AOS (green card papers here, and pretty much staying HERE while all of it happens.) I think the k-1 is faster, and i have had others agree with me, but i am not tooo familiar with the k-3 because i didnt go that route with my husband.

Read the GUIDES for info on the differences between K1 and K3 and CR1 and the options for each.

As others have stated, you can get married whereever you want, but you can't just show up at the US border and move in without the proper visa first.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!
