  • She will need a passport from somewhere. (You didn't say if she is a Canadian citizen or not). YOU don't need a US passport to cross into Canada and back by car...yet (soon), just photo ID. But if you are flying, you will need a passport to get back into the US. If you are a US citizen you will have to apply to your immigration department and start the process of getting her a permanent visa to live in the US. It can be a long process. Easier once you are married as you become her sponsor. If she has a criminal record, no matter how 'small', chances are slim she will be accepted into the US without a battle on your part. Things have toughened up a lot since 9/11.

  • There are 3 ways to move her to the US. 1. Fiancee Visa (K-1): it takes about 1 yr to process and she will have to marry within 90days or Marriage/Spouse Visa (k-3): takes up to 1 yr to process 2.Marry in Canada and file Marriage/Spouse Visa (k-3: takes roughly 6months 3. Loop hole method. She can come visit with NO INTENTIONS of marrying and she has an epiphany and falls madly in love and has to marry (court house method must be spontaneous) Generally it's 60-90days. Once whatever process has taken place, things you never thought/knew: She cannot work. There are no work documents for her. She can work for cash via babysitting or what not. You cannot file for working visa unless after you have your marriage certificate. MAKE SURE SHE HAS HER OFFICIAL HEALTH IMMUNIZATION RECORDS! NO ONE tells you this but if you don't have them you'll go thru hell to get them. Trust me I've been there. She can contact her doctor and have a copy of her history signed by her physician. If not it gets quite costly (est.$500-1000) depending on what she needs done. Also, I suggest going thru a lawyer or at least consulting with one to get information, if you forget to dot your i's and cross your t's US immigration can be a bitch. Any little mistake and she'll get deported. Go to the US gov website and chat online with a rep and ask questions, they are there to help you.
  • Your best bet is just to consult a lawyer with experience in that area. I have a friend who moved to Scotland on a work visa to date her now-husband, but the visa was messed up and she was deported. It turned out to be a good thing, because he realized he really just wanted to marry her and didn't need more time together to know that, and they let her back in with proper visas, and they all lived happily ever after, specially the kids, who are all dual-citizens and can go "home" both directions. But some of the paperwork on all fronts was a nightmare, and consulting a lawyer to begin with will greatly improve your chances of getting it right.

  • Get married and then start the application process to sponsor her for citizenship. There are no restrictions on Americans getting married in Canada except the normal waiting periods that exist in each province. Some provinces have no waiting periods others have the typical 20 days related to the old banns.
