Good morning,
My girlfriend and I met online a few years back and our relationship kindled into something special and we are now making plans to get married. I live in the US and she lives in Canada. Our goal is for me to live there. We've decided that an Outland Sponsorship would be best because I can keep working and building up my savings to move to her (she owns her own home in BC).
We want to get married in the states. I've been looking into how the logistics of that work and have come up with some different answers on the subject of travel visa's for marriage.
She has no intention whatsoever to stay in the USA, or attempt to immigrate, etc. She just wants to come over to marry.
Does she need a special visa for this? Several forums say she needs a K-1 but also include information on getting a green card, which she doesn't want/need. Other forums are saying she doesn't need a K-1 but needs proof that she will be returning home.
If it's the latter, what suffices as proof of returning home? How does the process of crossing the boarder to get married work?
Thank you in advance.
