Hello! I’m wondering if anyone has used an immigration lawyer? I’m looking for one That comes recommended and I would like an attorney that has experience with the Specifics of immigrating from Canada to the US since it seems rules are different for Canada in some cases.

Thank you for this info! I ended up deciding to wait it out on the K1. This might be a dumb question but what is ROC?

Removal of conditions.  When you are married for less than 2 years when you receive your initial green card, you will receive a 2 year green card.  You must remove the conditions from the card to get a 10 year card or to naturalize. The condition of the card is that you entered the marriage in good faith. For married couples this means providing evidence of a co-mingled life financially and that you live together. There are waivers for divorced green card holders or those that have been abused or are widowed.

The rules for Canadians immigrating to the USA is the same for any other country immigrating to the USA.

You don't need a lawyer. Canada isn't special for family immigration. Being in a relationship with a Canadian makes it easier for them to visit.
