K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion
Need help...


My fiancee lives in Calgary and I live in Georgia in the USA. She got an r1 visa a couple of years ago and it expires in 2010. We don't want to be married here because it might look like visa fraud, but can we get married in canada and file the k3 visa? Since im not on a visa that shouldn't be a problem should it. If we do it that route can my wife live with me in the states while the k3 visa process or do we have to wait?

It really all depends on what you want to do. A k1 visa is for people who are engaged and want to get married in the states. In the long run you file you papers wait ususally 6 months + and get permission to get married within 90 days of your POE "point of entry". You would have to stay in Canada during this process. In this process after you get married you will have to adjust your status and get a green card. you can not work until you get a green card.

Than you have k3 which is basically the same thing, but you are already married, but your fiance is petitioning you into the united states. you then have to adjust status as well and wait for your green card to work and all the shin dig.

There is also the CR1 which gives you a green card right when you enter the states after your married. This is the best process cause it is less waiting for work.

I see that you need a police cert for everywhere you have lived for 6 months or more. My fiancee lived in multiple cities in Alberta, Canada. Does that mean she needs one for each city ? She also came down to Atlanta georgia for 8 months for work does she need one from here as well ?

Hey guys we just had our medical and it went amazing. Our interview in in a couple of hours and if they dont issue the visa, they are going to need to mail it to us. Do they have the pre paid thing we can buy their or do we have to buy it beforehand. If we do have to buy it beforehand what exactly do we need to get.


Thanks,

Regarding the passport photo, for the image itself, the Canadian standard is much higher. There can't be any shadows anywhere in the photo (ie.background, on ears, under eyes), there also cannot be any shine on your face. I would e-mail the Canadian Consulate in your state and ask if they can recommend a photographer who can take the proper photo to size and image quality (they do have this info and they will let you know). Many folks have their passport applications returned due to a rejected photo.....yet they will keep the appl. money.

For gaurnator, you do need one, but they have changed it from certain individuals (a lawyer, judge, teacher etc...) to any one who has known you for 2 yrs, has a valid Canadian passport and has known you for 2 years. * The gaurantor must also sign the back of one of your photos, stating that it is a true likness of you and date it. They must also sign the application.

I hope this helps.


what do I do if we are in America and nobody has a canadian passport that we have known for two years. Can I sign it? I have had an American Passport for 5 years or does it have to be canadian that is where I am struggling.

do they have to have a canadian passport for 5 years. Like i said we are in the US. But if it is american or canadian that would be easy.

Since your Passport is not yet expired, you should be able to use the new Simplified passport renewal rules. HERE

No Guarantor needed under the new rules.



well i got married so my last name changed :(

My passport expires in June and I need to renew it. I just got my green card and currently living in the united states. I found the website on how to renew the passport, but have a few questions.

1) Nobody in the states cuts photos for Canadian passports. Can i cut them myself. I went to Costco and they did gave me photos a little larger than the required size. They said they dont have the machine to cut it.

2) Guarantor- My aunt is a nurse does the qualify as a medical doctor ? If not who can I use if I dont know anyone personally.

On the passport renewal form for canada it asks for "Documents that Support your ID"

Hey everyone my wife and i are trying to travel to canada on the 4th of July. Her passport expires June 6th. Here in Atlanta we can not find anyone to take pictures that wont be rejected. We have sent 4 sets from four different photographers. Costco, Wolfe Camera, Professional downtown, and a place that specilizes in the passport photos for all countries were all denied. Can she travel into Canada with an expired passport and her green card? Then stay in Canada until her new passport comes in since we can get photos there ?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionUS consulate in amman jordan


Hi Irahaymeh and Zzerous, welcome
You can find JP (JordanianPrincess) and more of us in the middle east/north africa forum regularly. There are a few of us with experience processing through Amman in there. My husband's interview was there last March so I don't have much first hand to say about current processing times, except that there have been 3 other members in more recent times that got interview dates originally scheduled for 8/23/06, 1/25/07, and 2/27/07 all get moved up to 7/26/06, 8/16/06 and 10/19/06 respectively. December seems a little optimistic...but who knows. Just don't get too discouraged when you do get a date and its really far off in the future.
Come say Hi in the ME/NA room. Its usually a friendly place


Thanks a lot. I will see you in the ME/NA room, if I find it.


Thanks, but how do I access the ME/NA room. All of this is new to me and I dont know how to move around in this site. Any help you can give would be appreciated. My computer skills are extremely limited.
Thanks. Irene Rahaymeh :(

Thanks everyone for your replies. It is promising to hear that some interview dates that were previously scheduled in Amman were moved up. We haven't gotten any interview date as yet but are still praying and optimistic that it will be soon. Please explain to me how to move around in this site and how to get to the ME/NA room??

Thanks again for all your help. I feel somewhat better now and a little more enlightened.
