In case anyone was wondering I managed to figure out the details on this. As a CDN citizen you are not issued a F-1 visa, and you can still go through with the K-1 visa, interview etc. HOWEVER, If you are going down on a "F-1 Visa", you can get married and apply for an adjustment of status, you send in similar proof of an existing relationship as you do with the I-129F forms. You have to be careful, because if you dont have proof, things can be considered as fraud!!!! ALSO, the costs are exceptionally lower relative to continuing with the K-1 Visa route. They will issue you a green card for 2 years before it is renewed, if you give them proof to expect fraud, ie you started school and then didnt bother to go after the first semester, things could get messy. So keep this in mind if you're considering the F-1 visa route compared to the K-1 Visa route!

Hi all. Im in a bit of a dilemma. Ive been accepted to graduate school in the states as a Canadian citizen. The process of getting a student visa is rather different then most countries, I just cross the boarder with my I-20 and proof of ties to Canada with all my ID. My fiance and I have been in the process of getting married and our K-1 interview is looking like it will be in October this year in Montreal. Im just wondering is it going to be just a case of me crossing back into Canada to do my interview, and does my F visa go null-in void once accepted, or am I not actually never issued a F visa based on my Canadian Citizenship.

Anyone have a similar situation, and how did they go about doing it?

We were just issued our NOA2 and are at the NVC stage in our application. I realized it would be much more preferable to have our documents sent to Vancouver over Montreal. I have sent an email to NVC, as well as the Vancouver and Montreal consulates. Outside of the I-824 (6months) is there an easy way to get this switched over?

I put Toronto down as my closest consulate on my I-129F K-1 visa form. Our NOA2 was accepted last week, and it listed that our information was being sent to Toronto. Should I call the number they provided to have it shipped to Montreal instead, or is it faster for them to just sort it out on their end? I wasnt sure if it was a common mistake or not.

Currently I the Alien Fiance, reside in Canada. I am engaged to my Fiance who is an American, and currently resides in the States. We started the K-1 Visa process back in January with the hopes of me being there shortly after finishing my 4 year degree, an ideal situation as he is moving around that time as well to start his clinical rotations. We are both devoted to our studies, which leaves me with a dilemma. Can I at this particular point in the K-1 process, apply to graduate studies in the states? This would require me getting a student visa, while still potentially pending the approval of my K-1 visa, and/or waiting for my interview if I were to start in August. I did notice on the i-129f form there was space to fill out this particular information, but with with that not being submitted, it would be suggested that I would be applying for a second visa, although a different one, to reside in the states. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

I am lucky enough to have my fiance and his willing father co-sponsor my K-1 Visa. I am wondering though if I could alternatively get my half brother to sponsor me. My brother is NOT a US citizen, his mother is, but he is Canadian working in the states on a VISA and has been for over 10 years, all of his bank accounts and financial comings are all through the US banking system. Im curious because it states "Friends or Family." Just wondering if this qualifies or not. Thanks!
