Hello everyone,

My girlfriend and I are planning on getting engaged this summer, and filing for the K-1 Visa shortly afterward. We are both women, in our 20's, and I am planning on moving to the US from Canada. Same-sex marriage is legal in her state where we will reside.

I was told by someone who obtained a Visa to move to the US from Canada that this is not an option for same-sex couples?

Can someone please elaborate? I am not very familiar with US regulations and what not, so a lot of the information that I found while googling was confusing.

Whoever said that is extremely wrong. You will be fine.. Check the actual USCIS website for assurance.. Good luck!!

And I know that you said that it is legal in her state, but even if it wasn't legal in her state once you get married in a state where it is legal you can then go back in reside in the state where it isn't if that makes sense.

That does make sense, and I think that's where I originally got confused. Thank you so much for your reply! :)
