Welcome! First, get used to the fact that you'll interview in Montreal - that was the hardest fact for me to accept considering there was a consulate in Toronto.

Then - start researching. Read the 'guides' at the top of this page.

What visa path are you taking?

good luck

what if I were to marry first and apply for a K3 visa would I still have to go to Montreal trying to decide which way I should go

[canadian_wife 1,823]

K3 is essentially dead, you'll want to research the Cr1 spousal visa

Are you the US citizen or the Canadian beneficiary?

Montreal is the only consulate that does the visa interviews, where are you located?

good luck

Canadian_wife forgot to say that I live in Hamilton Ontario

[canadian_wife 1,823]

I lived in the Steel City for many years

Regardless of the visa path you choose, Montreal will be your consulate

First - both must be free to marry. Before that, research as much as you can before you file so you find the right visa for your lives

good luck

Thank You Canadian_wife I appreciate that we do have some time as I said I still have a couple of years before I can retire and Jackie needs to get a job so that she can prove she can support me, so would we be able to get married first then apply for the visa or do we need the visa first the K1 is a Fiance visa and the Cr1 seems to be for a married couple am I correct in that

[canadian_wife 1,823]

Yes, you are correct. Research both and find the right visa

good luck

ok I seem to have forgotten how to ask a new question in here, so I am going to ask it in here

I need to know what the Poverty line is in the USA and is it a National Poverty Line or does it go from State to State since my Fiancée will have to get a job I need to let her know how much she will need to make since she will have to make 125% over that Poverty Line
