Hi waited in Montreal for my passport to be ready, so that I could take the train down to N.Y. and come visit my fiance for a couple of months (as a visitor). I waited in Montreal for 2 weeks!!! It was hell. I was sooo happy when it was finally ready. It was couriered to another city near Montreal 2 weeks after approval. Then I hopped the train and went to visit my sweetie. We flew back to Winnipeg together for Canadian thanksgiving, packed my car full of my things, and I told the border patrols I was approved and had the K1 visa in my passport. They allowed me in as a visitor (again), as long as I had enough funds and planned on returning to Canada by Christmas time. Went back to Winnipeg for Christmas (I'm a huge baby and hate leaving home lol). I entered on the K1 on December 28th. He proposed with a ring on the 29th... and we've been hectically trying to plan a wedding for March 20th. I can warn you that even though we sort of had an "extended" period of time to plan a wedding... it's still a huge struggle.

After we are married, we have to pay another $1000 (maybe more) for my Adjustment Of Status for permanent residency + work authorization. Hope that helps! I know how anxious of a year this is going to be for you :-(

Yup, K-1 visa. I move tomorrow evening! Yes, you'll have to pay the AOS filing fee which is around $1,000.

Omg good luck and congrats!!! What is AOS and when is that paid? Like the day I move or later on?

[canadian_wife 1,822]

K visas, like your K1, are non-immigrant visas (silly...because seriously one is moving right!!). Anyway, as such you'll have to file for "adjustment of status" from your non-immigrant status to a permanent resident. More money to be paid, more hoops to jump through. SO important you do not work nor leave the country until you have the appropriate documents.
