HELP!!! US Citizen Marrying Canada Citizen?

She is having a hard time because USCIS does not allow non immigrant visa's, (including visitors) to anyone who has presumed immigrant intent. They are extremely rigid on this rule.

I would file a K1 as the current avg. processing time is 114 days, which is less than 4 months. It would also be easier for you to visit her in Canada than for her to visit you.

They told her that only way for her to visit United States is that she will need to either have to own a house in Vacouver, have a job, or get a Visa. but she is not banned since she did not violate any law.

is this possible for US custom to do that to her??

YES and they are correct what they told her.

is there anyway for her to come visit me in the US??

probably not now - she MUST show ties to Canada and proof that she will go home - home a lease/mortgage, job and bills.

is it easier to get married in Canada and reside in Canada?

I think so yes - provided that you (the US citizen) dont have any criminal record.

or file for K-1 visa and wait 7months to 1 years and live in US?

you decide.

WOW! that's a lot of reading! Anyway! If you have a job - at a bank - if that hasn't gone bust by now (LOL! Sorry! but they all look like they are falling down boom!) I would hang on to it! If you went to live in Canada, yes, you would have to get a permit, I don't know how long that would take, but think about this! The Canadians may be hanging on to THEIR jobs like we are! I might be difficult to get one and start all over again! Two! If you have medical benefits with your job, you may not be able to get them up there! Check that out! Also, as an American citizen, you may still have to pay taxes to the Government! Something else to check out! NOW! why on earth would they stop your girlfriend from crossing to border, THAT is beyond me! Do you mean to tell me, in order to do that, a person HAS to have a job, a house or whatever, just to pay a visit to the USA!!!??? THAT doesn't make any sense at all!!! I would check with the Canadian Immigration Department about that! Don't ask those guys at the border!!! Personally, being of British birth myself, if I had a choice, I would pick the USA!!! Warmer! by a few degrees!!! I wonder how it would work, her FLYING into the STATES!!!! She could go to a travel agency and ask what she would need in the way of paperwork, to pay a visit to Chicago!!?? Also, reading on down your question - SO! get married in the USA! Have her apply for permanent residency and of course, that blessed visa! It would be a lot easier for her to do it if she isn't working! You may also have to put your intention of marrying her in writing. Vancouver is full of relocated Brits, and believe me, they are NOT like Americans!!! I think it would be easier for your fiance to adjust to our American way of life, than you!! The last trip I took back home, I couldn't wait to come back here!!!

I guess border agents can do just about whatever they want to with regard to barring entry, etc.

www.cic.gc.ca is the immigration website for Canada.

I don't believe that you can work in Canada without a work permit. Canada doesn't have green cards, I think that the equivalent is permanent resident permit. What you probably can do is file for a temporary resident's permit if you marry. That won't enable you to work. The job market in Canada is not great at the moment.

I would move to Canada, get married here and see a immigration person to file for citizenship, don't know the time period, sorry

Vancouver is lovely , you would like it there
