K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Urgent situation - filing I-130 at the last minute	I am doing research for my son (US Citizen) and his girlfriend (Canadian Citizen) to help them through this situation and I don't think that they understand the gravity of it. Here is a brief overview. "E" came here in Jan '09 on as a tourist from Canada and stayed with my son for her 6 months. They had met about 9 months before that when she was here (US) visiting friends. At that time they were considered "girl friend/boy friend". He had also gone to Canada to visit her (Winter '08). So a relationship grew over time. Anyway, when she returned in July after going back home to Canada for a month, she was allowed to come to the US (tourist visitor) for only 1 month and has to return to Canada by Sep 1st. (a baby is on the way and she blurted this out when at the interview at the airport coming in) They have filed absolutely nothing yet as far as trying to keep her here. They are getting married Monday (Aug 24)!!!! They think that they can somehow whip up the I-130 and get her permission to stay in the US while the processing takes place. Someone that they talked to at the Cust Serv line told them that they could do that. I don't think that this is correct. I think that they should do this: - Go ahead and get married -"E" return to Canada on time - by Sep 1 - My son file the I-130 asap - Also file the I-129F - "E" returns to US on K3 (eventually) Is that correct or is there some way around it all that I am not seeing? I think that she may have serious consequences if she does not return to Canada on time. Advice and assistance is greatly appreciated. dmac	dmacgregor	Female	Canada	2009-08-22 08:26:00
