Hi,

Your lady friend and yourself may be married either in the U.S. (if there is no intention of marriage at time of entry to the U.S., as otherwise it can be considered fraudulent entry) and then all sponsorship paperwork can be filed in the U.S., or a fiancee petition can be filed for your fiancee, which will allow your fiancee to enter on a K1 visa for the explicit purpose of marriage within 90 days of her entry. After marriage takes, place, she can continue to remain in the U.S. without any problems.

Please call our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours to discuss the case in more detail, or email [email protected]

After marriage, you can petition for your wife, so she can either apply for an immigrant visa (green card) in Canada, OR apply for adjustment of status (green card) without having to depart the USA. Whichever way is more appropriate should be decided based on your situation and circumstances.
