Hey guys Just wanted to update you all that my husband did POE in Winnipeg yesterday and we got married this morning. We'll have a reception/vow ceremony in September/October (TBD). Good luck to you all -- it'll be here before you know it!

Read this thread for 27 pages of people's experience on how long it's taking to get the passport back. Also has a poll with averages. Everyone's wait time is different, and this will give you the best time-frame.

That's not correct! Some countries view a small religious ceremony/celebration as an actual wedding, and you need to do research to find out if it's allowed or not. Canada didn't specifically say we couldn't have one, but we opted not to to make sure there were no grey areas in our visa approval process. Do NOT hold any sort of ceremony if there is a risk you will be denied! With this visa, you HAVE to wait. You can't "have your cake and eat it, too" with the K1.

They didn't revoke it. From what you said in your other topic here, you withdrew the petition after having an argument with your fiancee. If that's the case, then you can file again.

"i mean how would USCIS know about it."
It's people like who you take this approach and have this mentality that makes this process a burden for everyone else wanting to play by the rules. Telling a lie to a government official in the course of them performing their duties is a crime; perhaps they don't know immediately, perhaps they never find out, but if they do, you're screwed. As you should be.
