Don’t overthink! This is my advice.
Mine was like a conversation. I didn’t notice when he was asking me the questions haha I answered like was a friend asking me about the US.
 
Be calm and remember that this is the end of this loooong journey!! Uhuuuullll yaaayy 🎉
 
Good Luck

Yes, definitely not a simple crime. Young people can commit dumb mistakes but this kind of crime is really bad and I bet you that was not his only crime in life.
 
So, He has been incarcerated for 6 years and in 6 months speaking with you he wants to marry. If this is not enough red flags for you I don’t know what can be. 
 
He can definitely be an amazing person in your eyes but he is living isolated of the world and everything right now will sounds magical! Be really reaaally careful, financially, financially and emotionally. Get a lawyer and get a copy of all his records. This is not a DUI thing.  Be extremely cautious.

I think DCF enquiries for Canada are handled through Mexico, you have a couple of issues you would have to pull the current I 130, have a valid reason to go DCF and also hope that they will approve DCF with a prior I 130.

Pretty sure this is a no-go as Montreal is one of the harder and slower embassies for DCF. Given that an I-130 was already filed, that information would have to be made known to the embassy and I doubt they would view this as a true "exceptional circumstance" situation.
 
 

Nothing to do with you, well except as a negative.
 
They do ask about his job, I did not think they asked about his income?
 
When will you be able to travel?

There's no salary requirement for tourist visas. They just look at the totality of circumstances for each applicant. 
 
The only relevant question here on the DS-160 is the "Who will pay for your trip?" question. If you're saying he doesn't have enough to afford the trip on his own, just fill out the question accordingly and have him put your name as the person who pays.

No
 
You apply for her, when the Priority Date becomes current any Spouse or minor children can be included.

I don't think you can sponsor your brother in law or sister's kids. Clearly they're going to be over 21 when visa would become availble.
 
Your sister would sponsor them after coming to the US and becoming a resident / citizen. It's so far in the future we don't even know if the laws would change then.

That isn't the exact process.  You don't marry during a visit.  In fact, it is visa fraud to enter the US as a visitor with the intent to apply for a Green card.  However, you can visit during the fiance visa process and the spousal visa process.
 
You could, however, marry during a visit, then start the CR-1 process for a spousal visa...but you would have to return to home country. 

Getting super paranoid about the sealed envelope integrity. I’ve heard that they’ve started to send those documents electronically for those on CR/IR visas and how I wish it was true for the K as well. I’ve seen that some embassies cut off a corner of the envelope for the TSA to see that there are documents inside. Mine is completely uncut. Has anyone of you been forced to open the envelope by the TSA and if so, what did you do?

I think the smartest and safest option it’s go together to the interview. 

She should have gotten a 4 year extension letter after filing an I-751 for removal of conditions.

Probably never finished High School which is the very basic level, could have got a GED in Prison. Many basic jobs require a High School Diploma.
 
The job I have required a drugs test, when I looked into it further as this was the first time I had every had to do one it seems many around where I am would fail.

Thank you i actually didn't know i was going to get so many advice and a lot of them are very helpful! I know what i have to do know.
 
And he didn't know that he would need someone else to sponsor me if we decided to go through all that. He knows nothing about that kind of stuff. Idk why he even he brought up the idea of marriage that soon lol. Yesterday i told him it would be better to consider getting married after spending time together in the outside world so that we can get to know each other better, meet each other's families and see if we're compatible and he agreed lol.

i forgot 1 important thing
Don't send him money/ his needs are taken care of

he's 23 now and would have been 18+/-  when he went in
lack of any former education or job skills/ factory work may be possible if he can pass drug tests   just be careful 
BTW my sister says many prisons make the inmate prove they have a job outside in order to get parole/  she works North Carolina as parole officer
 
in prison most inmates learn the wrong things/  like how to better at crime / how to do ID theft is  a popular subject in many US jails 
 
Sorry as i am not judging him as he was young and the worst happened /just know what and why 
and talk to his family /see if he still has their support as he will need it 

Brother and sister both in law enforcement and prison life is rough
You can do a search 
http://kool.corrections.ky.gov/ 
that's the Kentucky offender lookup
 
You can also search court records to see ALL his arrests and convictions
it may help to know his prison ID or SS #.
 
Visits in Kentucky prison are scheduled if u r on visitor list (HInt:  u should be able to view who else is on that list /I would check for other females)
visits are for 1 hour with possible 1 hour extension 
read the site I sent as it says it all 

Seconding this. A lawyer should be able to help you get all his records. There are also some "people search" services that can access court records online but they cost money and I don't know how thorough they are. Keep in mind US lawyers are not cheap, bills can run into the thousands of dollars very, very easily. 
 
Definitely many red flags here. It's good OP came here first and has already gotten a lot of good advice. Proceed with caution indeed.
