Hello Every One,

I am a Canadian Citizen living in Ontario (Toronto) and in IT profession. Have worked in US on TN1 Visa in the past for two years.

My Fiancee a Permanent Resident (Green Card Holder) living with her teen age daughter in New Jersy state.

I also have three kids two are above eighteen (18) years and are studying in canadian Universities. My only daughter is thirteen (13) years of age. I wish to keep my daughter with me in US.

Me and my fiancee are planning to marry soon and I would like to settle in US along with my daughter but so far I have no status in US to start/ find my/ any job there.

My questions are:

1- what type of form can be submitted by my fiancee that I should be eligible to start work in US?

2- How long is the process?

3- How my daughter can stay with me and start her schooling there. Currently she is in grade 7 in Canada?

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Thanks in advance.

Truly Yours,

Nadz

After you are married, your LPR spouse will need to file an I-130 petition. You will be category F2A (spouse or child of a permanent resident). You will have to wait approximately 4 years for a visa number to be available to you before you can immigrate to the U.S.

How long before your future spouse is eligible for naturalization?

Visa numbers are immediately available for spouses of citizens.

OP already got exactly same answers to his questions yesterday. I guess he just doesn't like these answers and thinks they may be different on another day.

Here it is, one more time:

1. your LPR fiance cannot petition for you

2. after you marry her, she will be able to petition for you as her husband, will take some 4 years

3. if in the meantime she becomes an US citizen, she will be able to "upgrade" her petition and your visa number will become immediately available.
