My fiance is in Mexico we have a two year relationship we have a two month baby and I just found out I'm able to bring him as a conjugal since we're separated by border immigration and were able to proof our relationship. The problem is that I've been on welfare since I got pregnant and I know I can sponsor him as soon as I cancel welfare but we wanted to try doing a tourist visa so he can be here for Christmas but I need to know if I can invite him as soon as I cancel welfare or is there awaiting period. If u have any suggestions! And am I able to say on the invitation letter the truth that he's my parter and want him to come for Christmas to meet his daughter and spend Christmas I also want him to be here baptize the baby.
How long do You have to be off welfare before You can give an invitation letter
- Thread starter Sonriz
- Start date
Actually - to qualify for conjugal, you must be able to prove that there are real immigration barriers preventing you from getting married and/or living together to become common law. What is preventing you from getting married? What is preventing you from living together? If he can come here on a tourist visa then you can get married. You could also easily take a trip to Mexico and get married there. I don't think your would qualify as conjugal - I would recommend you get married and apply as a married couple.
You don't have to be off welfare for him to apply for a visit visa. However he will have to prove that he has enough money to pay for his trip and also demonstrate that he has strong ties to Mexico and will return home after his visit. You must be off welfare in order to sponsor him for permanent residency and you must remain off welfare for the entire time the application is being processed.

It's difficult for me to travel I have a three year old and a two month old. I hadn't understood the immigration barrier, I really don't have a problem traveling to Mexico except for the economic situation I'm in. I can't give him an invitation to visit being on welfare and he's young 22 with really no ties in Mexico that's my problem. So I should just forget about the conjugal application and marry him
Yes - you should marry him if you want to sponsor him.
Based on the information you've provided, you don't qualify for conjugal.

If he doesn't have strong ties to Mexico, he will probably be denied. He'll need to show compelling reasons he'll return. With a girlfriend and baby in Canada, I doubt he will be approved.
You can get married in the USA if you're both allowed entry. Before getting married and jumping into sponsorship, you should read the guides and understand what you're promising. You will be responsible for him financially for three years. If he goes on welfare, you will have to repay it.
