My fiance, Canadian. I'm american.
It is my understanding that we must get a k-1 then marry or else it is considered fraud. We are both in Canada right now, i'm just visiting.
If she comes back to the states with me [ florida ] while I process the k-1 how long can I expect her to stay until she has to go back to Canada to handle her side.
I read the stickies , guides / faq but I still don't understand fully.
I want to keep her physically with me as long as possible, can anyone guide me in a way to do this? She also would like to work if possible while during her green card process. Will it be hard for her to get a job with a EAD i think its called? Will employers look down on her or will it be hard for them to employ her with one?
I have to file for a temporary work visa after or can I do it at the same time as the k-1. I've heard both so I want to make sure.
Will an immigration lawyer speed this up? I know I can't expedite k-1s.
SO I send the petition and wait for approval, that takes anywhere from 1 month to 6 the faq said. I then wait for it to be proccessed at the NVC and then sent to the consulate... Thats when she can pick it up, correct?
How long does the proccessing and the NVC take, how long for them to send to the consulate. I read she needs a medical check, how long does that take to schedule and what other details are going into this on what she needs to do. What is the timeframe she needs etc.
