US wants to marry Canadian without intent to stay
I'm US citizen, she's a canadian
citizen. We'd like to get married in
the US. Can she still come to visit
the US after marriage or will she be
barred? She has no intent on
staying but only visiting until I get
my own paperworks completed to
move to canada.

Re: US wants to marry Canadian without intent to stay
Once you're a resident of Canada, she likely wouldn't have difficult coming as a visitor, though, depending on how often she comes to and is physically present in the U.S., she might be able to qualify as a resident here in the U.S. too, if that was what you wanted.

Dear Inquirer:
She could still come to visit, but if questioned at the point of entry she must be entirely truthful as to her short-term intentions. Otherwise, she could seriously complicate her chances of her gaining resident status in the US in the future, should you change your plans.
