I am an American and my fiance is a Canadian and I am currently incredibly confused about the entire marriage process. We both live and work in the U.S. and he has been working in the US on a TN for 3+ years and living here for 2+ years.

I have been trying to read this board and government websites and understand what the best course of action is but I am just getting confused. Since he is currently living/working in the U.S. I am imagining we should have the wedding here (the US). Is it better to get the Fiance visa (K-1 /K-3) or get married and than go through the green card process? If anyone could explain there experiences and what is entailed I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hes already in the US on a TN - you don't have to apply for any type of Visa. You can marry and then file for adjustment of status from the TN.

This would be the guide you need to follow http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Unless he plans on returning to Canada and staying there. Then you would file a visa for him.

Look at this post it might help a little. http://www.visajourn...res-in-4-weeks/

It appears ( I may be wrong) that you can sponsor and AOS is one submission?
