Thread: Canada to US on H4 visa

      
  1. #31

    Temporary marriage license?

    Hello,
    My fiance and I are getting married on August 25th in Canada. He's a Canadian living in the US on a H1B and we were expecting to cross the border into the US together so that I can get the H4.

    My questions are:

    1) I read on earlier posts that all we need is i) his visa papers ii) our passports iii) our civil marriage certificate.
    Can you confirm this?

    2) Since we're getting married on the 25th of August, we'll only have the issued temporary marriage certificate (the official marriage certificate takes a month). Will this be enough to cross the border and get the H4?

    Thanks so much!

    I know the post is 6 weeks old but just in case you still need answers.

    A1: That is all you need.
    A2: That may be an issue. A strict officer may require the official marriage certificate with the raised seal.
