Hi,

I am a Permanent resident in Canada and would like to get married to a US citizen. My fiancé lives in New York. I have a tourist visa. I work in Montreal and have no intention of staying in US. I would go on a weekend , get married and return back on Monday. Should I enter US on a tourist visa and get married and then return back to Canada.

Once I return back to Canada, we will apply for consular processing.

Please advice if I should go on a tourist visa to the US and get married and come back and process my consular processing.

I understand the legal requirements. We can get married in Canada. the only drawback is that it take 3 months to register the marriage and get the certificate. In US it take 2 weeks to ge the marriage certificate. Should we get married in Canada instead ?My only concern is , that I will be going to New York for only 3 or 4 days on a tourist visa. I would get married and return back to Canada. We would file our consular processing from Canada. I will be entering US only for 4 to 5 days and getting married on a tourist visa and coming back.

Will this cause problems in our application..

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am in the same boat as you are. I just found out that it takes 8 weeks to get the marriage certificate in Toronto but only 2 weeks in NY where my fiance lives. I also have a visitor visa to US and thought it will be a better option to get married in US. But I am worried about the interview. What if the interviewer asks me if I disclosed my real intention for entering US and was it planned that I will enter on Tourist visa, get married and then come back to Canada. Will it cause any issues?

Hi Sdhiman...

I have the same problem. Do you know what you will be doing ? I will be meeting a lawyer next week as well.

nothing illegal but oh no, here we go again..

Yes, the subject comes up so often that there have been three new threads started today where people want to marry in the US and leave. Hopefully the nonsense in yesterday's thread won't spill over to all three of these new ones.
