    Thank you very much for your reply. We are trying not to get too nervous as we believe we have a completely legitimate case, but we want to be together after our wedding (which means her only visiting and not making any money while we wait).

    Thank you for the clarification. I did not mean to mix up permanent residency and citizenship. Yes, I am a Canadian citizen. So that should make it easier, given we would likely be transferred together! Thanks again!
