So apologies for length. Skip to TL;DR if you want to, but if you don't I will love you. So technically she is not my wife. But we might as well be. I'm a US citizen and currently in Seattle. Girlfriend gave birth recently back in the Netherlands. I came back to the US because of a family medical emergency. We are now thinking of making a permanent move to the US This separation is really affecting my mental health. With that in mind, let me just ask some questions. So if funds are not a problem would it be a bad idea For them to come to Vancouver on an eTA (essentially almost like visa-free) using baby and mom's Dutch passport (Canada normally allows 6 months stay). We get married in Vancouver and file I-130. We find an AirBnB nearby for them to stay and me when I come to visit. Mom would not be working (on maternity leave). File for baby's CRBA, US passport in Vancouver (couldn't do it in Netherlands due to situation). I cross the border frequently with or without baby (depends on feeding). Apply for a visitor record when the time comes for wife. If denied, wife goes back to Netherlands and stays at mom's. Meet at International Peace Arch whenever we can. TL;DR Is it bad idea for foreign spouse and American child to wait out USCIS process in Vancouver if US citizen spouse lives in Seattle and funds are not a problem, since working is not allowed? Should US citizen go back and forth across the border? Should US citizen parent file CRBA outside of country in which child was born in third country?
