Good day,

I have been going to U.S Since over 2 years ago and I have my brother and my newly wedded wife in U.S

I just got married in U.S about 2 months ago and my wife is a U.S Citizen.

I live in Canada and was just denied an extension of U.S Visa in the consulate because I told the officer my wife is in U.S and just got married some months ago.

He denied me the visa and told me to go and apply for Spousal Visa or K3 Visa if I still want to get an extension.

However, I am planning to get a R1 and K3 Application as I don't have any other option than to file in the application.

This is my question

My U.S Visa is still valid till first week of December 2013. Can I still use it to go to the U.S from Canada and come back before it expire?

I don't want to take a break or vacation at work and later told that I am not able to go to U.S by the boarder services. I am not sure if the officer put any note on the system on my behalf that will make the boarder services deny my entry to the U.S

More also, the officer was aware that I still have a valid visa and do not cancel my visa that is still valid till December.

Please, advise if it is still good for me to go to the U.S and come back before the Visa expiring date

Thanks

Why would you apply for an R1 religious staff visa?

why would you seek to obtain a K-3 visa ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I am not a Canadian Citizen yet. I am a temporary resident in Canada with a work permit. Awaiting to get a Permanent Resident in Canada in the next few months.

I just did Canadian medical with my wife two months ago in Canada

Why would you apply for an R1 religious staff visa?

I want to apply for the spouse visa and not the religious staff visa.

I am planning to obtain the spousal Visa. While the application is in progress, I will get the K3 Visa which is faster. I will return to Canada when the Spouse Visa has been accepted and completed

I suggest you study more about the K-3 visa, then. Your supposition is wrong.

CR-1 is what you want. Don't waste your time doing the K-3...

A tourist visa simply permits you to apply for entrance. Entrance and duration of stay is never a guarantee

good luck
