Hi!

I (US citizen) am planning to enter Canada and get married Jan.22, 2010 to my Canadian Fiancee. We plan to live there about 6 months before coming to US. We will start

k1 immediately following the wedding. What may I be asked to present to the Border Officials when I attempt to cross into Canada to get married and stay there the 6mos.?

If you get married in Canada, then you will become ineligible for K1 (which is for applicants who are planning to get married in the US). You'd have to file for CR1 after you are married.

You're a US citizen, you'd just need to present your passport at the border.

No K-1 for you after marriage. You'll petition for the Cr-1 after you are married and receive your marriage cert (not a solemnization of marriage, that won't do).

You can petition from Canada.

My husband entered Canada to marry me, he told CBP he was going to marry me and they said "congratulations" and waved him through. All you need is your passport

Good luck
