confused..please help

hello everyone,

I found some good information on this website and still have a few more unanswered questions,

My boyfriend is American and I'm Canadian. We are planning to get married in the Spring. I think the CR1 visa is the best route for us.

Once I got to the US in the spring and we get married. Can we go ahead and apply for the cr1 and I continue to stay in the US till it goes through?

I know Canadians can visit upto 6 months. Also who goes for the interview. Do I go for the interview or both of us to to seperate interviews?

please help,

Thanks soo much.

You can get married in the US, and file for the CR-1, however, you will need to go home before the 6 month period is up.

Your interview will be in Canada. (you would go to the interview).

You MAY be given 6 months to stay, you may not. You must leave when your allowance in the US is over. You'll do the interview in either Montreal or Vancouver, depending on where you live, and you'll do the medical there as well

Good luck

if she is doing the CR-1..I was under the impression those were all done through Montreal 'regardless' of where you live....

and i can say from experience...ALWAYS ALWAYS have your folder of documents with you when you cross the border, and be prepared to be turned away...it doesn't happen often, but it can happen. Always make sure you can support ties and clear intent to return to Canada.....

Best of Luck!!!

That's right. All CR1 interviews are done in Montreal.
