people from Canada who has to go to MTL for interview , ( like liz and my self and so many others ) wish we would be with our fiances and have the oportunity to get married within 90 days as we talk ,

but we have to waite close to a year if not even longer from the time we send I 129f , so why not get married while you have a chance , unless you have cold feet and want to back out , but even then there is a reason why USCIS like to see couples file after they knowen eachother for 2 years ,

like the previouse posts said a civil marriage will do ,

( hell I would marry my baby at the Walmart if i ran into a priest tomorrow if the consulate would give me a visa tomorrow, but thats just me ) Lona

Where do USCIS say they want couples to have known each other for two years?

(They don't.)

They dont ? Oh well regardless i would still marry my babe tomorrow if I could

They dont ? Oh well regardless i would still marry my babe tomorrow if I could

:no:

All they require is that you have met in person within the last 2 years.

I think the original poster of that statement MEANT "met within 2 years" but worded it wrong, therefore ppl need to make sure they word what they are saying carefully in order to stop misinformation on other members asking questions.

Thanks for all the replies, it really helps. What I have understood is that there IS a way for us to get married past the 90 days if we choose to take that route. I like "no teeth". Thanks again.

Well goody.

But I didn't say 'no teeth' so that you'd go out and do it. I still fail to understand why you're having a hard time getting married w/in the 90 days.

If its because you feel you don't know your fiancee well enough yet, then shame on you for starting this process in the first place.

But I guess I'm expecting too much if I thought you'd have a conscience.

TracyTN,

Don't mistake your apparent bitternerss for some high moral pulpit you can judge others from. You know absolutely nothing about us, or our particular situation.If you have a problem with overly fexible immigration laws (with "no teeth") perhaps you should get into politics, then you can really do something useful to combat those who "lack conscience" instead of dishing out insults here. To all others who witheld judgement, I sincerely thank you for the information. I found it useful.

thats exactly what I ment , and yes I should have been more clear but when you speak multiple languages it can happen you make a mistake in wording on what you realy mean to say ,

Thats why i brought it up, being speaking 2 languages it can get confusing when trying to express yourself fully. So i thought you meant "meeting within 2 years". Glad you were able to explain yourself. :D

PHaze,

TracyTN's 'conscience' comment may have been a little too strongly worded, but let's call a spade a spade: you're trying to find excuses for justifying breaking the law... and no; I don't know you, or your particular situation either, but you'll still be breaking the law if you deliberately overstay a visa, and WHATEVER your situation is, that's morally and ethically questionable, at the very least. Expecting completely 'withheld judgement' when discussing such a situation on a public board is pushing it, in my opinion. What you do is completely up to you, of course, but I think YOU should certainly vacate the 'high moral pulpit' before trying to lecture from it; it's rank hypocrisy to do so.

In my humble opinion.

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

All,

Let's stick to the immigration issues and skip any name-calling or speculation as to each other's un-written motives and background thoughts.
