I'm not sure how much information is needed, but basically my fiance and I are trying to determine the best route/approach to the spousal sponsorship.
My fiance is an American located in Texas and I am a Canadian located in Manitoba. We plan to get married in Canada. While I think I have gained a pretty full comprehension of the spousal sponsorship, what we are currently struggling with is when/how to get married. Originally, we were planning to have him come visit, get married, & then immediately apply for the sponsorship. We are comfortable having the 4-6 months in which he is on a visitors visa and cannot work until he gets the work visa. However, after some other comments I have read, I am worried that this approach may not bring about the most likely success? Are we better off to have him visit, get married, and then have him return home to Texas before applying for the spousal visa? The issue with this of course is that it will likely be a longer period apart, which we would like to avoid. Either way, I suppose my question really comes down to which approach is most likely to bring us the greatest success?
Thank you so so much in advance.
