Thought I would join this community after hours of reading immigration information, and feeling lost. There is a small comfort connecting with other people who are going through the same struggles as we are. We married a year ago in the states, I was just visiting and working on my degree online for the semester. We didn't plan on getting married and after 4-5 months being there he poped the question! I didnt know at the time I could have stayed and adjusted my status. Or anything about immigration. We're married, can't I just stay in the states now? Nope.

Anyways, came back to Canada and now that I'm finished my degree, I planned on moving to the states and waiting there till immigration goes through. I don't have to tell you if that's an option.. unlike me 3 days ago, everyone here knows that it's not. Devastation!!!

Trying to rebuild and go about this immigration the proper way and without a pricey lawyer. The time line of the process is very discouraging :(

So... Hi!

Welcome to VJ! Definitely follow the guides (top of the forum) and don't be afraid to ask questions. There are some incredibly knowledgeable Canadian members, so pop into their regional subforum and say hi!

I love a guy who looks like he could be on Criminal Minds as either an agent or a killer.
