US citizen dating Canadian citizen going through divorce, want Canadian to move to US -- HELP!!

No, unfortunately it doesn't. The answers have pretty much been given. Unfortunately, you need to take a deep breath and relax. She needs a final divorce decree no matter what. Once that is done you have other options. I would forget the whole 6 months visiting thing. It says she has no ties to Canada and probably will get a B2 denial. Go visit her, she can try and visit you. Move to Canada is a possibility. If being away from your gf is the biggest problem then the truth is, you are just going to have to learn patience. I have not seen my fiancee in person in over 8 months and yet we're doing fine.

Hi, could you please elaborate on the bolded? What says she has no ties to Canada?

What I was trying to point out is if she can visit the US for 6 months? Then she can immigrate because it means there is almost nothing keeping her from leaving Canada. Who can leave their job for 6 months or home or anything else for 6 months? 2-3 weeks.. OK that's more reasonable. If customs and immigration thinks she is going to immigrate then they may deny her entry. I'm not sure about Canada specifically but almost every other country on a tourist visa must show strong ties to make them go back to their home country and not attempt immigration.

Understood, that makes sense now. Thanks for the clarification.

Canadians do not normally need a visa, still need to be a visitor.

Be careful, if in your state there is a period of time you must wait after the divorce is finalized, you also have to wait that period of time before you can file for the K-1.

I wouldn't think that would matter when the person getting a divorce is in another country?
