Hi All,

My fiance has finally received his interview date for Oct 2nd. He will fly over as soon as he has the visa so probably on the 5th or 6th. We plan to wed on the 13th. We'd like to go to Montreal for two days immediately following the wedding. Will it be a problem for him to go to canada for 2 days with his british passport and fiance visa?

Thanks!

Yes it will be a problem.

He cannot go to Canada until he has either AP or permanent residence.

You can submit I-131 in conjunction with your AOS. Generally, you can expect it to take 60 - 90 days from submission to get the AP.

Hi Devilette,

I agree I was lazy and did not use the search tool. But basically most of the answers of the questions discussed in the forum can be found in former talks, don't they? So where is the fun of live chat if everything should be found by googelling...?

Thanks again for the answer and take care!

It causes real issues to be dilluted.

And all of you failed to consider the possibility of the British K-1 making the trip THROUGH Montreal.

Not really. The OP said:

Leaving the US after is not legal....?

Is AP the proper thing applied for in this case with the I-131? Or is it more specifically a "re-entry permit" for a conditional or perm. resident? Since this is a K1 situation, I think its a "re-entry permit" but maybe both are treated the same once they are granted by the USCIS.

My suggestion?

Leave Montreal for after you get your green card (maybe first anniversary!), and take two days to explore somewhere in the U.S.

No, the re-entry permit is for LPR for absences greater than 1 year. It does not apply at all in this case.

devilette,

Of course it's legal to leave after marriage.
