Hi - I am planning on moving to the U.S. with my fiance, we met working abroad and are both accountants.  I am a Canadian so my best option to work in the U.S. is a TN Visa, but I dont have a job lined up the moment.  I have tried to research our options but am having trouble getting the answers I want as we don't want to live in different countries:

 

1. If I am able to find employment in the U.S. and get a TN Visa will have issues getting a green card through the spousal visa process or can i file those simultaneously?

2. If I am unable to find employment before moving, can I stay there as a visitor for the 6 months it takes for the spousal visa to be approved?

3. If we chose to live abroad for another year can we get a spousal visa approved without him being a U.S. resident? (He is a U.S. citizen)

 

My concern with getting work and not going through the spousal visa is that in 2-3 years if we decided to have children and my visa ended would I be legally allowed to reside in the U.S.  Does anyone have experience with this and can give me the correct answers?

 

Thanks!

TN is a non immigrant visa, better bet is the Cr1 but Canada is strict on the petitioner having US domicile.
