  • Marrying in US while on H1 (girl is Canadian PR with B2 visa)

    I am working in US on H-1B (I-140 approved). My fiancee lives in Canada and has a PR there. I would like to marry her in US and apply for her change of status from B2 to H4. She will move in with me.
    A quick online search on this topic tells me that this is considered "fraud" since she would enter as a tourist with an intention to become an immigrant.
    Is this true? What is the best way to address the situation. She has entered US multiple times to meet me. I have never been to Canada.

    Get married in Canada (or home country) and process H4 for her.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.

      Yes

      Raghvi's suggestion is preferable.
