Hello all,

My fiancé who is currently in Montreal, Canada, has recently submitted Packet 3 to the Montreal office for processing. He is a citizen of Poland who has been living legally in Canada until March 2013 and reapplied for extension of status which supposedly takes 100 days. In the mean time, it has been about 8 months of the F-1 visa process. I have a newborn now and live in New York waiting for the approval. In the mean time, I received an email from the Montreal US Embassy that until my finance receives the status approval in Canada, they are unable to process my visa. I am stuck now since I have a month old baby. Any suggestions? I was thinking to go to Poland with him and get married so we could apply for green card which will take another few months....

Thank you all in advance for all your input on this.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that my fiance needs to be legally on Canada and so he's waiting for the visa approval which he should have this month unless Canadian government decides not to extend it for whatever reason.

I also wonder if the fiance visa can be transferred out to the American consulate in Poland should he not receive his Canadian visa.

I found this thread that should help you track down the info: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/427945-relocating-k1-interview-to-different-consulate/

I wouldn’t suggest getting married in Poland as you would have to start over though but for the CR-1.

Thank you, Hikegirl. We will be waiting for the Canadian visa aproval which should take place this month in order to avoid additional delays if we get married in Poland or transfer out the visa application to Poland.
