Advice? How to proceed with Immigration while engaged to US Citizen?

[payxibka 10,048]

Sorry I used the wrong terminology. My Fiancee is a US Citizen. He was born in California and lived there most of his life. Maybe if I explain the situation in better detail it will help. He came to Canada on a work contract playing a professional sport. This contract was expired after 2 years, however he had enough in savings to remain here and didn't have to legally work in Canada.

He did travel back home a few times a year for no more then a week at a time. He did own a home here in Canada and also has a son here.

He never applied for Canadian Citizen ship. He was always approved back in Canada with no hesitation. This is where I am not sure if we will qualify for DCF? Because he is a US citizen that has been living in Canada for the past 5 years will that be classified as legal? This is why we would like to contact the US Consulate for advice. If he explains our situation, they can at least let us know if we even qualify. Otherwise we will have to take the long route.

It will depend on his "status" in Canada... if he was a "tourist" then likely not... If he had legal "residency" then maybe so

DCF is the easiest, fastest way for you to immigrate to the US. You might want to PM *Len* - they did DCF while on work visas in Canada.

*Len* will help you and answer your questions.

As someone who has had work visas in the US - they are difficult to get and can take months to get.

Good luck
