Basically my husband came to the US on a k1 visa in May. We did our aos and got an rfe on December. Anyways, some personal things have happened and now we're seriously considering moving back to Canada. Should we wait until he gets his us citizenship in 3 years? What is the process for him to bring me across into Canada? What are some things to watch for? Any advice?

If it is possible to wait for your husband to get his US Citizenship before moving, then absolutely do it. You never know what the future will bring and that would make moving back to the US, if you decided to, that much easier.

 

Long story short, my husband and I moved to New Zealand before I did ROC and then got citizenship, and we regretted it. We are now back in the USA permanently and we had a long process with refilling IR1 (not as long as others) plus my residency requirements to qualify for citizenship has started all over again. 

 

Good luck with whatever you decide 😊
