Alright, thanks for that added info. Will definitely have to see how it all goes, since there's no guarantee I'll get that job but I like knowing our options.

Alright, I'll do the interview then, I just wasn't sure if it'd be like an added complication with me potentially being in Canada for two years if I had to get this job. On one hand, my bf and I would be a bit closer which is cool and why I'm pretty eager to see my chances of a successful interview happening so if I can do the paperwork in Canada without an issue then awesome. I just wasn't sure but you set my mind at ease.

Thank you

Should I just skip this interview?

Before I met my boyfriend, months ago I had gone to a Canadian job fair and left my information, they have gotten back to me and want to interview me in the coming week, if I do get that job and go to Canada on a two year work visa, how complicated will this make the K-1process if my boyfriend and I wished to get married before those two years are up?

Damn, I was going to ask if health insurance would cover it. I guess it won't hurt to ask the company here about it. I wonder if I can have it all done at the clinic to help with cost.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Well I hope when the time comes, it'll go smoothly, I have my birth certificate and I can get medical records easily enough as I've ever hardly been sick and getting a police certificate isn't difficult to do here but the medical is what worries me because I'm hoping it won't be ridiculously expensive.

The cover letter and letters of intent don't need to be long right?

I'm dating currently and my boyfriend is a U.S citizen, we've discussed the possibility of marriage and have begun researching the necessary steps needed. Since I'm the non-immigrant, we wanted to apply for a K-1, have me go to the US, get married so I can have the certificate but we wanted a wedding ceremony in my home country after.

Is this possible? Or should we just marry in my home country and apply for the K-3 Visa for me to move to the US?

Thanks in advance.

We decided that we would do a small wedding in the US after the K-1 Visa is approved. It sounds the most stress-free way and my parents would be able to come as well as long as they had their tourist visas approved by that time.

I just need to know if I have everything listed below in order and that I haven't missed any steps when the time comes for us to start getting everything ready.

1) Make cover letter about our case and show what's in the package, sign and date.

2) File for Form I-129F and pay.

3) Each of us shows an explanation of how we met and sign and date our respective copies.

4) Letters of intent from us both of plans to marry within 90 days, sign and date.

5) Show proof of having met within the last two years, ticket passes, hotel receipts, emails, conversations etc

6) G-325A filled out by each of us.

7) He needs my passport picture to bag and label.

8) He needs a copy of his birth certificate to send in.

9) We've both never been married, changed name or had trouble with the law so don't think we need proof of other things hopefully.

10) I apply for DS-160 to take to the interview after fiance gets letter from NVC, take passport, medical examination documents, two photographs etc.

Haha, yes, very true. We haven't even talked about a honeymoon, we know we'll be doing forms for my AOS.

Forgot to add that to the last one.

Now, I just want to make sure I have the steps right according to the http://travel.state.gov/ and on the website here.

1) Make cover letter about our case and show what's in the package, sign and date.

2) File for Form I-129F and pay.

3) Each of us shows an explanation of how we met and sign and date our respective copies.

4) Letters of intent from us both of plans to marry within 90 days, sign and date.

5) Show proof of having met within the last two years, ticket passes, hotel receipts, emails, conversations etc

6) G-325A filled out by me. (foreign fiancee)

7) He needs my passport picture to bag and label.

8) He needs to copy his birth certificate.

9) We've both never been married, changed name of had trouble with the law so don't think we need proof of other things hopefully.

10) I apply for DS-160 at some point I'm assuming after the I-129F is filed.

Did I miss any steps?

Aha, yes, I am reading up about the AOS as well since I know that would be the next step after I enter on the K-1. We're still discussing possible future plans and trying to make things as simple as possible. I definitely don't want a big wedding and neither does he so we might just do a small wedding over there in the US after getting the K-1, with our families present and some friends. Thanks for giving me the time frames, highly appreciated.

Haha, yes it's weird but heck, he brought it up so I'm just trying to be helpful. Thanks for your help!

Here I am with another question! I was curious about this since my boyfriend brought it up tonight but if things go well and we did decide to get married, when applying for the K-1 visa, would he have to be living on his own or would him living at home be okay too. He works full time so money isn't an issue but we were curious if he had to be out of his parent's house to contribute to the success of the visa. I personally think if it was a spousal visa, he would have to be out on his own but I wasn't sure about if it'd be so for the K-1.

Thanks for the great info! We were hoping to get married over in the US, like have the certificate then return to my home country and have a wedding, sort of a way for me to say good bye to my friends and family. I know the processes can take a while so I just want the most short lived one as I don't want to be away from him for months either.
