Hi there,

I am in the process of getting my K1 visa and financially support my fiancée in the USA.

I was wondering if anyone has claimed your fiancée in the USA while still living in Canada as a dependent on Canadian tax return?

If I can claim her as a dependent (fiancée or wife next year – some kind of relative), I could get some money back from the Revenue Canada next year?

Any thoughts/experience?

1. If you're coming to the US on a K1 visa, the USC has to show proof that they are financially viable to support you (125% above the poverty line). If you are supporting your USC fiancee then you may not even pass the K1 requirements without a co-sponsor (and honestly, to adjust status after marriage, one of the big things they look for is a regular income/job on the part of the USC/co-sponsor).

2. My knowledge is limited, but unless the person is co-habitating with you, I don't believe you have much leeway with taxes. Best idea is to call the Revenue Canada International Tax office: 1-800-277-5177. Explain your scenario in detail and ask them if there's any way to claim those monies on your taxes. My suspicion is no, as you are not married or living common-law in Canada, but it's certainly worth the phone call to find out for sure. :)

Electricity is really just organized lightning.
