    Sure.

    You are still a legal permanent resident of Canada. Losing your card does not change that.

    Here is how the process works:

    What your American Fiance is applying for is called a Fiancee or K1 visa.

    I recorded a video "What is the K1 visa" at http://www.fianceevisaservices.com/fiancee-visa.ht...

    Once approved you will be allowed to LEGALLY enter the USA for the purpose of marrying him, then permanently remaining in the USA.

    There are a lot of details involved.

    To summarize.

    First of all you have a real courtship and relationship and you both intend to get married.

    Then check that you both meet the eligibility requirements: He is a US citizen. You both are currently 'free to marry'. He earns over $15,510 annual income. You have met each other 'face to face' at least once, during the past two years.

    You will have to 'prove' that you have a real, genuine, 'bone fide' relationship. You do this by presenting copies of correspondences, photos, letters, plane tickets, etc.

    You should make sure that you build from the start a solid 'paper trail' of the communications of your relationship. This means itemized telephone records, emails, instant messages, voip calls, snail mail, packages. If you use prepaid telephone cards make sure yours gives you an itemized call list or find a different card to use..

    When meeting 'face to face', take plenty of photos, vary the shots, locations, wardrobes. Meet with family, and friends. Document with photos. Turn date stamping on.

    Don't move too quickly. Couples who instantly fall in love and get engaged or married may be suspected of fraud. Go slowly, build your relationship.

    Once your relationship gets serious, don't let too much time elapse between trips to meet each other "Face to Face". The longer the separation, the more suspect the relationship is. I recommend 'face to face' meetings, at least every 6 to 9 months.

    Once your relationship has progressed, there have been 1 or more 'face to face' trips, and there is abundant proof of your relationship. Then HE applies for the visa, to USCIS, Homeland Security.

    Then about 6 to 8 months later you will be asked to come to the US embassy for your interview. If all goes well you will be granted your visa, come to the USA and you can then marry.

    Once you marry, you apply for your Green Card and then remain together permanently in the USA.

    Costs:

    $340 Fiancee visa filing fee, when he originally applies to USCIS

    $200 medical exam fee, just prior to your interview

    $240 Visa application fee, just prior to your interview

    Why? Why dealing with a completely pointless step and all the fee in contact? Why do no longer you get married here and then document an I-a hundred thirty for a spousal visa? The ok-a million is quite for people who have not got any thank you to make it to the U.S. otherwise. So while you're a Vietnamese female and you have a fiance in long island, they gained't concern you a customer's visa, ever. the only thank you to ever set foot on U.S. soil is with a ok-a million. Your fiance and you're able to be able to commute freely. you may get married interior the U.S. or any us of a different than the U.ok. as that ought to require a undeniable visa that's a headache to get. A ok-a million has as much as ninety days to get married, then ought to document for AoS ($a million,070) and might't do squat for 3 to 5 months 'til the AoS petition is being adjudicated. A CR-a million (important different) enters the U.S. and in the past he leaves the airport he's a eco-friendly Card holder and might rock'n roll like one from day one on.

    Should be no problem. Your status in Canada has no bearing on the visa.
