Living in the US

[Tunapiano 9]

So i'll give a little background on the situation with my fiance and i before asking my questions.

 

She was born and raised in Canada, she still lives there, we got our NOA1 April 26th so we're about a month away from any response from USCIS. She is not in a good situtation where she is now, Her brother has been mentally and nearly physically abusive threatening her life, her parents watch her son for her when she's at work but allows their son to be around her son whom he has hit in the past. She has made it very clear this is unacceptable but they refuse to prevent him around her son. We've been floating the idea around of her moving here at the beginning of august around the same time i will probably get a RFE to prove my financial stability to provide for her and her son and how i met her, etc. Being canadian she can come and go with just her passport and stay here for 6 months in a visit. 

 

My questions are this.

1. If she was to come here in august it's highly likely that she would get a fiance visa before the 6 months were up and we do know she would have to go back to Calgary at the time of her embassy interview, would it negatively affect the process or the visa to have her here for that time? 

2. Would her son have any issues going to school and would it affect the visa process for him or her to do so?

 

We do know she can't work while here which is fine, we also know that we can't get married without the visa. At this point this is an idea we are looking at to get her and her son out of the home situation which has only gotten worst in the past year.

 

Any opinions or advice is appreciated.

They can't live without an immigrant visa. They could visit you.

 

Visitors/tourists usually can't register to go to school.

 

Until then, she has to find an alternative person to watch her son if her parents are not protecting him. Leaving him there knowingly makes her an accomplice.

Just a heads up, she will not interview in Calgary.  She will interview in Montreal.

 

Good luck
