there is an old saying stated " you CAN NOT be captain for 2 boats "   I think it applies perfectly in this case     Good luck !

Well no, but I think we can safely say that is not on the table.

Step 1: Divorce wife

Step 2: Propose to girlfriend

Step 2: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide - With this visa you have to have the full intention of marriage when entering. It is not a 90 day relationship trial.

Not yet, but we were talking about it. And i dont have any job offers to get a green card for me to stay there so were going the marriage way, and its what we want anyways

If you plan to marry the girlfriend after you finalize your divorce, then you basically have two options, one is to have your US fiancé file the I129F to get you a fiancé visa (K1), and the other is to get married, then the two of you can file for a CR1 spousal visa.  Both take time, but you can visit during the process as long as you can prove to the CBP officers that you do not plan to stay and immigrate without having either of the visa options.  As @BuiQuangmentioned, both of you should research the guides accessible in the blue ribbon at the top of this site, and feel free to ask questions as there are a lot of members here at VJ willing to share advice.

 

Good Luck!

Hi, so i live in canada and my gf lives in the states. Alabama to be exact. I dont know whats the process for her to get me there, but what's the best way for me or how can i move there to live with her without a job offer? i was told i need a green card to work and to get married. Or does she just have to fill our some forms first to sponsor me?  Also i am married in canada but we are split and living seperate, do i have to legally divorce her before marrying my gf? 

1. file for divorce and get the papers for final decree of divorce (this is very important)

2. Get married 

3. file cr1

4. wait for cr1 visa

5. Enter US with green card and work immediately

 

Or

 

2. File for k1

3. wait for visa

4. enter US 

5. Get married within 90 days

6. File for green card and work authorization documents

7. wait 6 or more months before you can start working

Employment-based immigration takes longer! 3 years or more.

Okay thanks. And i know i had to divorce first before remarrying in the states, i just had to ask and make sure. I am still young,(mis 20s) not everyone know these things so we ask. But does she have to do anything on her end first? 

What now you say you already knew you had to divorce?  Well if you knew then why did you have to ask and make sure??  You're young mid twenties and you don't know about bigamy?  Come on now...you must be a troll cause this is too wild to be real...:jest:

Have you ever heard of Darwin?  Wow, you haven't told her your are still married!!!  Don't be surprised if all your inquiries here are for nothing.  It's not going to go over well with her.
