Hello,

This is my first post, so be gentle. My fiancee and I meet a couple of years ago In New York City. We were not dating at the time. She went back to Moscow for family reasons. For whatever reason, when was ready to come back in US, they would not let her in. She moved to Toronto, and then we started dating. We have decided to get married, but this is our dilemma:

Would it be easier to get married in Canada and work on the visas there or should she go back to Moscow and work from the embassy there? Third, just come to the US, and we get married.

She wanted to go back to Moscow for a visit. Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any advice given. :)

She cannot just come to the US and get married and stay- even if she could get a tourist visa (unlikely as she was refused), that would be visa fraud.

You can file for a K1 fiance visa now and then get married in the USA, or you can get married abroad and then file for the CR-1 spousal visa. If she is resident legally in Canada, she can process there, that would make it easier for you to visit during the process, which will take about a year.

Why would they not let her in?

k1 right now is faster. If she's legally residing in Canada she can do everything here. Toronto is very close to Montreal (5.5 hr train ride) so she lives close to where she would have her interview. After getting the visa, moving to the USA, marrying and filing AOS, she would have about 3 months before she could travel outside the USA or work.

Your option is CR1 and if she stays in Canada you have the electronic processing you can do plus her interview would also be in Montreal. After getting the visa and moving to the USA she would be able to travel outside the USA and work immediately.

Figure out what works best for the two of you.
