Thanks so much for your help. He is definitely considering immigrating, but we have not decided yet. We may decide to live in Canada or over seas for a couple of years.

My boyfriend and I have been together for about two years and we are planning to get married in the US in August. He has been on an F-1 student visa (from Canada) for 3 years and I am a US citizen. I haven't been able to find the answers to these questions:

1. After we are married, does he have to apply for permenant residency? Can he stay on his F-1 visa until he graduates?

2. Is he allowed to leave the country and re-enter on his F-1 visa after we get married?

3. If he leaves the country for the summer to work, re-enters on his F-1 visa and then we get married 1-2 weeks later would it be considered fraud because he re-entered the country with the intention of getting married? Could this be a potential problem if he did apply for permenant residency?

Thanks so much for your help!
