Can I remain in the U.S as a visitor and my fiance apply for the K-1 visa while I'm here, or do I have to return to my native country Canada before we can begin the process? Also I am a little confused. Do we file the forms at an American office or a Canadian one? I have heard of couples filing at the Canadian office but I have also heard of filing at the local U.S office as well? Does anyone know the answer? Thanks! :)

US Citizens don't apply K1 for visas. Your fiance would file a petition which when approved would allow YOU to apply for the visa in Vancouver or Montreal.

Ahhh ok that makes sense. So he has to send the petition to the either California or Vermont service office first though right?

Yes he would as a US citizen apply and send the application to one of the processing centers. And you can visit the US before and during the application process ....Just depends on customs and if they believe your going to leave the country or over stay your allowed time.

You can stand me at the gates of hell, but I wont back down.

No, the US Citizen doesn't apply for anything. They file a petition. When the petition is approved, the foreigner applies for a visa. Please do not interchange the terms petition and application. It fosters a lot of confusion here.
