Hi everyone,

 

My fiance is a Canadian citizen with a US green card. He lives and works in the US.

I am a Canadian citizen. We are hoping to get married in Canada early next year and then him sponsoring my move to the US.

 

I know the process may be long, however, I am hoping to work in the US while waiting for the green card process to be completed. How would that be possible please?

You would need to qualify fir a visa that allows you to work. maybe a TN for example.

As Boiler mentioned, the only way for you to work in the US during the process is to have a work visa like your fiance. Or  if your spouse is on an L1 for example you can obtain an L2 visa for spouses that allows spouses of L1's to enter and obtain work authorization. It depends on what time of visa your spouse has.

 

 Other than that, you will have to wait it out in Canada.

 

The timeline for spousal visa for LPR's is roughly 2 years.
