Hello all,

My fiancée and I are trying to decide if it would be faster overall for us to go the K1 route and then get married as soon as she enters the country and then file for AOS and EAD and what-not, or if we should just get married and file for the I130. We understand that the K1 will get her physically here faster, but then we would have to file more paperwork so she can work, whereas with the I130 she can work immediately upon entering. So if we marry immediately after she enters on a K1 and we file for the EAD, will the timeline overall be shorter or longer than just getting married and filing for the I130?

Oh yeah, she lives in Montreal, Canada and I live in Tennessee. I'll be filing in Texas. I appreciate any info anyone can provide us.

Do DCF it's fast. It involves the I130, but you file at the embassy in Canada. I think you can dcf in Canada...best check that first. Some embassies don't allow it.

I love my job.

That depended on which country is your SO from and which service center are you in.
