    Yes, before filing, you need to consummate the marriage [being in the same physical location after the marriage, nothing else is required].
  2. Lemonslice
    Exactly. Some states/counties might have a waiting period between the marriage licence and the marriage itself, but it's usually only a few days. Someone with good organization skills, and faith/luck in escaping delayed flights, could plan something on the day of arrival.
  3. Lemonslice
    You could do something like @devusr did and meet somewhere closer to the USA, in a third country where you do not need a visa/get visa upon arrival [do your research on that].

    Start by checking the reciprocity schedule to make sure she has the right version of each document: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/India.html

    Most probably not, and she has some rights as a permanent resident. Make sure to declare all items you're bringing back.

    You can check up border wait times on the CBSA website. She seems to have the correct documents. Border agents verify the documents, but also ask other questions/evaluate other factors before making their decision; no one here can assure you that there will be no problem entering Canada, but most US Permanent residents entry to Canada is uneventful. If you have further questions, you can call CBSA directly, they answer calls and are super helpful. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/ Bon voyage!

    Have you thought about moving to him, or a third country, were he could continue to use what works for him? Chronic pain is no fun

    The bolded part is what you need to do.

    In some countries, it's impossible to change the name in your passport to your married name. Not sure about Malaysia though. OP might want to analyze if it's worth the hassle of having mismatched documents, or if it's easier to keep her documents in her name.

    In most states, a longer marriage might mean alimony being granted for a longer duration too. Please tell your friend that he needs to check in with lawyers before making big decisions (marriage, separation, divorce, USCIS applications, tax avoidance, whatever else is happening in his life); he does not seem to understand how the law of the land works.

    Might even be able to find availability closer. Next county, next large city, find a friend who gets registered as a celebrant...

    Your profile shows K1, which forms are you currently filing?
  13. Lemonslice
    This thread discussed a similar issue. @jan22's answers are worth your attention.
  14. Lemonslice
    I can't remember how long you have to provide info. 2015 was 9 years ago, if the instructions require 10 years, are you including what you're spouse did prior to this position/employer?
  15. Lemonslice
    Who is she, the child, or her mother?
  16. Lemonslice
    Keeping my name saved me so much trouble.

    This recent thread might also be of interest: .... Since you're planning to come and visit soon, why not get married then? Or your fiancé might also want to fly to you and get married with your family. Immigration isn't fast, easy, or cheap, no matter which path you take. However, the K1 comes with extra hurdles, and much less protection for you, the immigrant. Don't rush into your decision. Best of luck.
  18. Lemonslice
    Since "they" can make it fine without a SSN, why are you so worried? Be as resourceful as they are, you'll find assistance and answers. Best of luck!

    Not working for 9-12 months will probably decrease your income much more than $1500...
  20. Lemonslice
    And that's not even taking into account all the K1 immigrants who are out of status/unable to adjust status because they didn't expect being unable to pay for it/their spouse is not cooperating/all other kind of nightmarish situations.
  21. Lemonslice
    You might want to see if you are eligible for a TN visa (it mostly depends on your profession). If so, you can do both, TN now, while the CR1 process is going on, with the interview in Montreal when that happens. I see zero benefit for you picking the fiancé visa path.

    Self-employed individuals need to file tax if they made $400, are you sure you don't need to file? https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/self-employed-individuals-tax-center
  23. Lemonslice
    Same here also.
  24. Lemonslice
    It was a legitimate question. Here is the same information, in another format/as seen by airlines: https://www.emirates.com/ca/english/before-you-fly/visa-passport-information/visa-passport-information-results/?widgetheader=visa&nationality=ng&destination=us&transit=gb

    What is a K1 visa, if not a US visa?
