Hey everyone,

I have a hypothetical question here...

I live in New Zealand at the moment, and my fiancee (US citizen, lives in US) and I are soon to be married and apply for a K-1 visa. My question is:

I would like to be closer to my fiancee so we can see each other more often, and I see that Canada has a Working Holiday Visa which I would be eligible for. If I moved to Canada and worked there, it would mean that, hopefully, I could drive/fly to see my fiancee in the US more often...right? I have heard that I could be refused entry to the US at the border, but also that I may be allowed to enter (I guess it depends on the Immigration Official)...has anyone been in this situation? Would the US Immigration Service be against this sort of arrangement? Are there problems that I should know about?

Thanks for your help...

Getting married and apply for K1,unfortunately don't go together, so I am assuming you want K1 finance visa then get married, Yes. Just try and get a visa visit then apply for K1 when you are here or what ever our plan is. Just don't enter on false pretense when the wait is short depending on the rest of your lives.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Ben made a mistake when he put K1... we'll be getting married and applying for the CR-1 and we know it is going to be a wait...

You should post your question in the CR-1/IR-1 forum to get the best answers on your situation. The K-1 is a different process altogether. Good luck!

In retro we should have done the CR1, less xx in the long run.

What's less "xx"?
