Question about Canada to US immigration...

Post by Jaime_long@hotmail.com » Mon Jul 18, 2005 2:26 am

I am stuck in Canada after visiting the US. My fiance and I are engaged and I guess that is all it took for them to ban me from entering the US again. I dont know if it was the ring on my finger or the fact that I didnt have a returned flight booked.

Anyway, Now he has to file for a fiance visa on Tuesday in the US. How long does this take? Of course I dont have a checkered background. I hear from 4 to 6 months or from 8 to 12 months... Just trying to see how long it will take.

Also, is there a way to speed this process up?

Thanks much,

Jaime.

I am assuming you are a canadian citizen and your fiancee a US citizen.
YOu did not mention any of that.

Anyway, no way you may speed up the fiancee visa processing.
If you want to save on time, money and hassle ,you could get married in canada and he could file for your immigrant visa in place of the fiancee visa . Processing period should be roughly the same.
This way, you will avoid double hassle of first a fiancee visa
and then immigrant visa processing in US which may take a long time.
