Hi Jane Green, thanks for the prompt response.... I think she is most likely to lean toward the 1st and 3rd scenario: In the first scenario, if I understand the laws correctly, according to "section 245", her staying illegally will have violated her agreement to leave once the visa expires...

Also, what is F1 and H1 and what are the requirements?

OK, I just want to be perfectly clear on her options. If she marries the guy she likes, she would have to return to her country regardless until such time that her green card comes thru which could take years! If, on the other hand she was marrying a citizen, she would be eligible to stay and...

Hello all, I have a freind who recently came to America and has "fallen" for someone who is not a Citizen but rather a permanent resident. What are her options as far as staying here w/o having to return back to her country? Her VISA will expire in approximately 3 months at which time she...

PMM - any input? anyone else?

Ocelot, any input? anyone else?

PMM, i have printed out the entire handbook from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/fc.html for out of canada sponsoship of spouse and read it in its entirety. I jus don't want you to think I'm not doing my research at the same time. Thanks for your undying efforts to assist me!!!

PMM, i'm kind of finding myself in a "catch 22" situation here. You stated: "If you don't want to take the chance on refusal, then start the application now through Mississaugia and Buffalo." also that , " Wrong they do contact each other." (US & Canadian Immigration). If i apply now for my...

Ocelot, thank your for your insightful response... wow! 2 years for my wife to become a citizen? sheesh...I expected 1 year at the most! Most replies I have replied in this section of the forum and the Canadian section state is should only be about 1 year. Well that remains to be seen. I...

One more thing.... you stated "Don;t forget your wife will require a PCC from Guyana and a FBI fingerprint check to submit with the application." What is a PCC? Is this still required if she becomes a US Citizen? She will be giving up her Guyanese citizenship in order to become a dual...

PMM, thank your for your insightful help so far!! I have a few more questions for you..... You advised to apply for a passport for my child b/c it takes longer to get a citizenship card. I'm assuming you mean a Canadian passport? That should take less than 3 months as appose to the...

JoeF, obviously you don't have many freinds since you would like to pick a fight w/ me, a person who is simple looking for immigration help. Kindly STOP replying to my thread and go your merry way. YOU REFUSE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM BUT INSTEAD CONTINUE TO MISINTERPRET AND MISQUOTE...

Stallion, one more thing... let's say she applies for a Canadian Visa BEFORE getting US Citizenship. Obviously we don't want to move until such time as she gets US Citizenship so how would that works in terms of time constaints. IE. Isn't she required to move to Canada w/in a set period of...

JoeF, your comments provide no help to my inquiry... I have already read up on the immigrations laws pertaining to the US and Canada. Clearly you have not read and understood what the heart of my problem is. I am fully aware of how the green card and US Citizenship works. I did not at any...

Seems there is a lot of confustion.... let me clarify our objectives. My wife and I have the ultimate objective of becoming US CITIZENS and then move to Canada. We have no intent of giving up our green cards until such time as we are sworn in. We also intend to MOVE to Canada to stay...

PMM, this doesn't sound feasable. If the three of us drive up to the border together,all being american citizens; my child and myself being Canadian citizens, and my wife not having any status in Canada, they may deny her entry on the grounds that she has not applied for a visa. According to...

Anybody???
