I am Canadian and will be marrying an American

who files with what consulate where?
how the heck to you find out where the consulates are after you find out which country it is in?


doesn't matter where I look, I get conflicting information...my eyes are bleeding and my brain is threatening to jump ship.

sigh

thanks to anyone who can help

Click here for a thread on VJ talking about how to file DCF in Canada.

Also, please check out the DCF Guides.

Best of luck to you.

Does the American half live in Canada? If the American half is in the USA, DCF is not an option for you guys unfortunately and the USC will need to file the I-130 petition with the nearest USCIS Service Center - www.uscis.gov

ahhhhhh.....THAT makes a bunch of things make more sense!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!...okay then...SOOOOOO...what exactly is our best option?....get married first...and apply for the "get your wife over here" visa, or do the fiancee thing?

I am assuming then that you are in Canada and he is in the states rather than him living in Canada with you.

If the most important thing is for you to be in the US with him asap, then I would opt for the fiancee visa. Fiancee visas take less time than immigrant visas, plus he can petition for you right away rather than planning a wedding, getting married, and then filing for the visa that takes longer anyway. The fiancee visa means that you must marry in the US, which may be something you want to take into consideration.

Thank you Margot! The most important thing for me is definately to be with him in the US asap! Marrying in the US is not a problem, didn't take ANY convincing when in I told family and friends that it would be in Georgia!
