There are stalling tactics you can use if it looks like it will come up too quick. One of them being that Stéphane would have 4 months after receiving the visa to use it, and then 3 months after arriving here to actually marry.

A K1 Visa is good for 6 months from date of issue.

Hello eveyone!

I have been register for a couple of weeks now, but just found the introduction page.

My name is Lisa and I meet my fiancé almost 22 years ago. We dated for 1-1/2 years and then went our separate ways.

We reconected last Fall and pickup where we left off. We couldn't be happier.

I want to say a big thank you to my friend Jeremy for sending me the link to this place :)

After viewing the different forum I have a few question:

Is it possible to get married in the US without applying for K-1 ?

What papers do I need to get started with?

Thank You!

~Lisa~

Welcome to this website. You don't need a K-1 visa to get married. In fact, you can not use K-1 process when you are married. You have 2 options:

1. Start 129F for fiance visa, which is K-1 process. Then come to USA with K-1 visa and get marrried.

2. Get married in USA or anywhere you want, start I-130 petiton for Cr-1 process and start I-129F petition for married couple, K-3 process (only if you want, you can also pursue K-3 besides CR-1), go back to Canada, and come back to USA with CR-1 or K-3 visa.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

After we are married he'll have to return to Canada until they approve the CR-1 or K-3 Visa?
