Canadian looking at K3 visa but very lost

[CarlyS 0]

My fiancé and I are wondering about a few things:

 

I'm a Canadian looking to eventually move to New York state (we're unable to move him to Candra as he has young kids) to be with my fiancé. I have health issues that are covered by Canada, but won't be when I move. We've spoken to his insurance company which will cover my needs. So we are wondering what the best course of action is : do we go for the K3 visa? I need to be able to come back to Canada throughout the whole process to see my family and get medical treatment until the visa goes through. We were thinking of getting married now, then working on the visa knowing it'll take at least a year. I wish full time from home for a Canadian company, so can work from anywhere and have a job until I'm officially not a Canadian resident anymore.  We are very lost and overwhelmed by the whole process and unable to move forward due to not knowing the best process to use.  

 

Any help you experienced beauties? 

 

Thanks so much!

Get married now and start your spousal visa process. It is pretty straightforward. Good luck.

The issue is this : the i130 looks to be that, as soon as I enter the US once this has been approved I will officiant be a us citizen. I was wondering if there are other ways or more information? Because if my complicated health issues, I require Iv treatment which is covered by Canada, but the minute im living in the US it stops. I can't be without it for any amount of time so it's tricky timing out my coverage here, to there.  This may be a question for a medical professional, are just trying to get as much info as possible before shelling it a bunch more money to get an immigration lawyer to hammer out the stuff we can't find it on our own

No you will NOT be a US citizen.  At the end of the cr1 process you would be a US permanent resident aka green card holder.  But you are correct that if you immigrate to the USA or are out of Canada for too long, that you lose your health care coverage in Canada.

 

How long do you need these treatments? Can you get them in the USA? Would they be covered fully  or in part by your future husband's medical insurance?

 

The k3 process is obsolete and rarely granted.  I wouldn't even consider it an option.

In my very humble opinion, you should look at health care coverage first and weigh your options. The current administration is seeking to change health care was we speak. If you are being covered in CAN you will likely lose that by migrating to the US.

 

Also, I noticed you stated you will become a citizen when you arrive to the US. No, that is not what happens. You will not qualify to be a citizen at a minimum of 3 years if you are still married to your fiance by then.
