What? No men marrying Stallions? Mares are OK though?Arkansas has rules on marriage?
Since they are from Canada, come to America on their passport with a traveling visa.
Apply for "work authorization".
Work authorization will be granted for six to a year normally.
While they are living here on work authorization, apply for Permanent Residency.
If their Residency is granted during the time they are on Work Authorization, then they are good to go. They can just sit on Residency and apply for citizen and stay here.
If their Work Authorization expires before they get Residency, then they'll have to get it renewed to stay here (or go back to Canada and start all over by coming on a traveling visa again).

With a traveling visa?
See that's what we are still confused about. How can he get a visa while in Canada? He can't come here, then get one?
How I understand it, he doesn't need a visa if he doesn't intend on working or studying here. He can just come for six months and do nothing.
But if he plans on staying, then I believe he has to get a visa, so he can then get permission to work, then get permanent residency, then get his citizenship.
If he needs a visa, he can get it from the US Embassy in Canada.
Canadian Nationals must show ID but are exempt from passport and visa requirements. However presentation of a Canadian passport, birth certificate, Naturalization certificate or other supporting do entation will facilitate the inspection and is strongly encouraged.
???
He already enters and leaves fine that's not the problem.
I think I confused you or I confused myself. Blah.
I'm just saying that he can come here without a visa if he doesn't plan on working/studying or staying. If he is going to work, he needs to get a visa so he can get temporarily employment authorization, then eventually permanent resident, then citizenship.
Isn't that what you are asking?
Hmm I dunno.
He isn't going to work here. No.
They want= him to come here. They get married, file for the k-1 card so he can stay. And my question was, does he HAVE to have a passport? Cant they just get married and file for the k-1 visa for 2 year residency so he can stay after they are married?
Sorry I am being confusing but I know little of the subject and am explaining best I can.
I still need find out about this marraige thing, if they can just get married like normal people. Or if they got to go through another damn process.
Regardless of the country in which your fiancee resides, the K1 FIANCEE VISA is the only proper visa for her to use to enter the U.S. for the purpose of marriage. If she enters the US on another type of visa, visa waiver, or other means you can certainly legally marry her. However, she will then need to depart the U.S., obtain a K3 spousal visa at the U.S. Consulate in her country of residence and reenter the U.S. on the K3 visa in order to be able to remain in the U.S. permanently as your spouse.
I think that answers your question.
You mean he and her. I'm just trying to help my friends out here.
You lost me at "he will need to depart the usa, obtain a k3 spousal visa, reenter"
but. I thought the girl, American girl, will have to file the k1? And not him being Canadian? I am totally confused blah. So HE has to file for a k1 visa while he's in Canada?
They can't do this while he is here?
I didn't put the "he/she" - I just copied it from a site.
The girl (American) has to file the K1.
Okay here is something I should have mentioned.
If he does any of this, his parents will kick him out and he won't have anywhere to go live or stay in Canada. He will be strandid. So this is why everything is hard for them.
Ahh I get it. I think it just clicked in my head.
Long day. Heh.
Thanks Kori.
There's some income requirement for the K1. She has to be 125% above the poverty line.
Eh, that's not good. Considering I just found out he isnt as rich as he lead on. It's his parents money.
So it looks like this isnt happening for them now. I dont know. When he is here for the 6 months they will have to goto Memphis offices and talk to immigration on what they can do I guess.
I can't believe they are controlling marraige like that. If they want to get married, they should be able to. Any immigration officer could see they are in love. It's not some scam.
Blah!
If anyone knows more about this please reply.
Especially about what exactly the povery line and 125% is.
Crap.
Me and her are going to call Memphis tomorrow and work this out. Or Monday when the offices are open.
I wonder if it would be easier for her just to move to Canada. I bet anything it is.
