I only say I'd be mum, because we've been visiting each other about every other month since like mid 2008 and I've never really been given a time limit on how long I could stay.

@ Canadian_wife thx for confirmation on the license certificate thing; that's the route we are heading; she'll be turning in the license once we are within 90 days of the date.

@ CANDY PANTS, i don't want to be un-sexy! thanks for the morality/conscience check my friend!

I feel like even if I did present documentation that I was returning to the US, they might not let me in. Is proof of employment the only thing I need? I'd think border control would want something legally binding. Which is why I was just going to be mum on the topic when crossing.

Thanks Bernie, we are definitely set on the 8/22/2010 wedding in Toronto. That will not change at all. To be clear CR-1 and i130 are the same right? Can we just call it i130 to keep my little head from spinning with all these forms! . I'm also still under the assumption that after the marriage, she can still 'visit' like a normal tourist, while forms are being filed, but I've also heard some adversity comes with that as well. Any insights, expert panel? Thanks again all!

Thanks peeps, and I've been trying to figure out which path to take i129-->k1 or i130. Looks like the consensus is i130.

So if I fly Toronto, should I even mention marriage? Because neither of us intends to live there. However i130 says we need marriage certificates, and in order to do that my fiancee will have to file for a marriage license etc. What to do?

Thanks again for the quick replies/assistance!

There is no legal immigration path that allows her to immigrate to the U.S. immediately following the marriage.

Ok, then what is the proper process for a US citizen going to Canada to marry a Canadian citizen and then live in US?

I need some clear and concise steps! I (US citizen) am marrying my fiancee (Canadian citizen) in Canada; in August. After the marriage she will come to live with me in the US. Can some one please lay out step by step (step 1., step 2., etc.) the best way to go about this legally? Thank you!
