Hi Guys,

I need your help here. I\'m trying to figure out who can help me with this question of mine.

I am a Software Consultant in the US on H1-B visa. My sister who is residing back
home (chennai) is marrying an Indian-Canadian citizen. The marriage is scheduled to
happen in Feb 2001 in India and my future brother-in-law (the sponsor) is going to do
her PR as soon as the marriage is over. It looks like the normal Canadian PR
processing will take 4-6 months. My question is will it be possible for me to bring
my sister to the US on a visitor visa and apply her Canadian PR in the US and if she
will be able to join her husband in Canada after 4-6 months (when she gets her PR )
from the US without going back to India.

Has anyone done/know this kind of stuff??

Thanks,
surisuji@cs.com

I am a canadian citizen working in US for many years. My recommedation would be to bring your sister as a landing Immigrant(PR).First of all, it would be difficult to get a US tourist visa for your sister. If she already has a multiple entry tourist visa for US, then it would be better for her to come here and then your brother-in-law can apply for her immigration.
Hope it answers your question. If not let me know.

Thanks and I really appreciate your response. We are mostly inclined to do the same way per your
recommendation only, but the reason we thought of getting my sister to the US is \'cause of the fact
that it takes almost 6 months for her PR to come thru and we want to explore possibilities.

My sister doesn\'t have a tourist visa to the US yet. I\'m not sure if I wanted her to go and try get her
visitor visa before her marriage., as you might know it is very difficult for unmarried young girls to get
tourist visa to the US. My thought was it will be better if she gets married and then go try her visitor visa
to the US. What do you think?. This way if she gets her tourist visa to the US after her marriage., and
once she is here in the US., then we can process her PR papers in a Canadian consulate in the US.,
right??. Also., do you know if she can come on a visitor visa to the Canada - no problems and if her
husband can do her PR processing then. Thanks in advance and hoping to look forward to your reply.
