So if we decide to start the K-1 process - should I be in Canada when we first apply? Can my American bf file from Canada?

Our complication is that I spend 5 months in California - then return to Canada..he also comes to Canada for about 5 months. I want to be out of Canada during those wet winter months..

I got turned back at Blain, WA - on my way to the Bellingham airport.

When asked who was at my house (weird question) I answered truthfully that I had rented it out. I am too honest!

I am retired...so won't be looking for work....if we get married first..I have to leave the country...I think the K-1 is the way to go for us.

I live on the Island, but Vancouver is totally doable! We are just beginning this journey....trying to get the necessary papers prepared...before even applying....but hope to do it very soon! With the help from this site...thank you God!

I am retired...so no need to work....but saving money is always good.

Yes, sorry! I realize it is 180 days...we probably would opt for the K-1 as I live in BC - having read the reports about the Vancouver office being quicker and Montreal is far away! Do I have to wait in Canada while the K-1 is being processed? It seems to take a long time....

I am a Canadian with an American boyfriend. This is the second year I have been visiting him over the winter months being very careful not to overstay the "deemed" 6 month visa for Canadians. He has been visiting Canada for 10 years and owns a home in the little village where I live. I rented my house out and moved into his...made sense to us.

I returned to Canada in January for a medical appointment and upon my return to the USA, was asked who was in my house - when I replied it was "rented", the red flag went up and I was detained. Turned back and told to provide proof of "Ties and Assets" - well that is another chapter unto itself. I supplied enough of the necessary information - which took over 10 days....and went back for another go. I was admitted into the US! Whew!

Here's the question....now that I have proven I do not live in the USA - what will happen now if we apply for a K-1 visa? Will this seem odd? Will they think it suspicious? We have been looking at this site and wondering which way to go (Fiance or Spouse). All we want to do is of course be together...
