I’m a Canadian citizen from engaged to a U.S. citizen. We’re trying to figure out the safest way for me to spend significant time with him, potentially get married soon, and eventually live in the U.S. I don’t want to accidentally violate visitor rules or create an immigration problem. But I would like to go to the us to visit him for long periods of time (ie. 6 months) I need advice comparing going ahead and doing longer visits on visitor status and not working, doing the K-1 fiancé visa, getting married and doing the CR-1 process or try to find a job that will sponsor me what is the fastest route to being together. I have just requested to take a 1 year leave from my job and want to figure out a way I can spend a lot of it with my fiancée but everything is so confusing is there resources out there at aren’t super expensive that can help me with this and can anyone offer any advice.
