I have a question about Fiance Visa's?

I am getting married this year to an american citizen. I am a canadian citizen. I'm very confused about the fiance visa. I have been getting different answers from everyone. Can someone tell me what is the best way for me to go about getting my immigration to the States without me having to stay in Canada after my marraige for my papers to get approved. Thanks

Answer:
Both the immigrant and K-3 visa paths will entail you remaining living in Canada after your marriage to a US citizen. You can however visit your husband in the US if granted entry. It is up to the CBP officer as to whether they grant you entry for a visit.
The K-1 fiance visa path will mean the same as the above, the only difference being that you won't be married.
If you marry in the US and then apply to adjust your status and remain in the US, it is up to you to show that you did not have immigration intent when you entered the US, if asked by the interviewing officer. If it is deemed that you had immigration intent on entry to the US, you also face a ban. Do many take this path successfully, yes. Are there those that are denied and banned from the US, yes. This path can be risky and is fraud, if there was immigration intent on entry.

From USCIS
Otherwise Eligible Immediate Relatives

If "otherwise eligible" to immigrate to the U.S., immediate relatives may adjust status to LPR (get a "green card") in the United States even if they may have done any of the following:

* worked without permission,

* remained in the U.S. past the period of lawful admission (e.g., past the expiration date on your I-94) and filed for adjustment of status while in an unlawful status because of that,

* failed otherwise to maintain lawful status and with the proper immigration documentation, or

* have been admitted as a visitor without a visa under sections 212(l) or 217 of the Act (which are the 15-day admission under the Guam visa waiver program and the 90-day admission under the Visa Waiver Program, respectively).

Please note: If a person came into the U.S. illegally, that person is barred from adjusting their status to LPR (cannot obtain a green card) even if he or she marries a U.S. citizen or otherwise becomes an immediate relative. An immediate relative must meet the eligibility requirement of being “inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States.”

OK,

First of all, the K-1 visa is the easiest way to get to the USA when marrying a person from another country. You come to the country on a K-1 visa for three months. In the time you have 90 days to file a p-90 (I believe) to change your status from financee to married. Which then applies for the permanent status card.

To do this, your financee must visit you within the last 2 years, and have documented proof that a relationship exists. The petitioner needs to complete the forms (your fiancee): I-129F and G-325-A. And also send all the necessary proof. It will then take anywhere from 4-8 months to approve the visa. Once the visa has been approved, you will recieve a packet in the mail, asking the documents I-864, and I-134 to be filled out and mailed to you by the petitioner (your fiancee) BEFORE the interview at the embassy is to take place. A physical exam, and probably a blood test will be required.

That is all of it in a nutshell. You should probably check out uscis.gov, and also call them. Be prepared to wait, so call when you have time.

Good Luck!
we don't want you or need you, stay away!!!!!
If you get married in Canada you will have to stay there while your K-3 visa is being processed. Of course, there's nothing to stop you from sneaking into the country by lying to the immigration at the border, but really, do you want the kind of trouble that will bring down on your head if you're caught?

If you get married in the US you can come here after your K-1 fiancee visa is issued. (read the first answer)
