Applying out land well she is in land

[jakesalomons]

So my soon to be wife will be coming up to get married and file all the paper work from America!
If she gets a visitors record, and we apply for the application out land, it is possible for her to stay with me as long as we keep on getting her visitors recored renued? whats the easiest way to do this?

Should we put my address in canada as her address? or put her address in the states as her address

also would it be smart of her to get an fbi clearnce before coming up, or is there a way to do that up here?

Yes, she can remain in Canada as long as you keep renewing the visitor's permit and it is approved. Apply online for the extension, at least 30 days before her current status expires.

You can use her address in Canada as both her residential and mailing address.

Yes, she should get it done before coming up to Canada, it takes 12-15 weeks to get it.

I would for sure do the fingerprints and send the form off... You can however put your Canadian address as the return address once they have completed the check. We did that for my husband. Like CharlieD10 said it usually takes 12-15 weeks but we got ours in 9 so there is hope! Search the FBI wait time thread for accounts of other members experiences.

Good luck

Do you have to apply to extend it online, isnt there away to mail it in some where to extened it?

would it be smart to put her residential address as the American address and Canadian as mailing?
wouldnt they find the odd? and this we should be apllying for inland

 

[CharlieD10]

You may mail it, yes. It can actually help if you do that, by extending the amount of time it takes, and in the meanwhile she has implied status even if her status expires.

No, they will not think it odd, lots of American spouses do so. The fact that you are living together also contributes to the genuineness of your relationship.

And, no, you really don't want to be applying Inland, unless you are looking to have your spouse sit around for at least 11 months doing nothing when she could be processed and landed as a PR by Buffalo in less time. Your call, of course.
