IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Need to know how to get Greencard for my husband who is Canadian	You will have to go the IR1 route.    http://www.visajourn...tent/i130guide1   http://www.visajourn...p/EZGuideSpouse     Because of the length of your marriage.  At the end of the process your husband will receive a 10 year green card which makes this an IR1 rather than a CR1 (which is what I will hopefully be getting at my interview.)  But does he have to wait here in canada , I mean we both live in canada now , so what we like to do  is go to the uSA in June or July 2013 this yr , cause we always do and visit my family , but this time since we have purchased a  home in NC , WE like to be able to cross the border in June ot July with his intentins to immigrate to the USA  can he get on a tourist visa and change status after being in USA, I like to file the 1-130 and his paper work in the USA while we are there , not here in Canada , and he will not have to stay in Canada awaiting for greencard or invitation to USA, Is it possible to do this , and if it is possible what do we tell them at the border crossing ?

I am have job in the USA I work  for a USA company here in canada and have worked for them two yrs . and when we go to the border what do i tell them why he is coming across, I mean we go to USA all the time to visit my family and never had an issue , but I am trying to find out how does he enter legally  so when we get to the USA I can change his status  for applying for  greencard  , I am not sure how to go about this , my first concern is what to tell them at the border , I would think us being together for 5 yrs and married over two yrs and 5 months it should not be much of a problem ... any advise would be greatly appreciated	Vegaslady	Not Telling	Canada	2013-05-22 20:30:00
