Canadian Marrying US Citizen?

Question

I'm a Canadian citizen, and like to marry a girl I've known for 8 years, and immigrate to the USA - she is American. My problem is that I have a "threatening death" charge from about 7 years ago. I am in the midst of applying for a pardon, and gaining a US waiver to enter the country as a visitor.

What are my chances for me legitimately becoming a landed immigrant? What barriers do I face? What advice can anyone give me?

Thanks

Answer 1

an american marrying a canadian? that's a myth

Answer 2

Phone customs and ask if you can visit. I don't think it looks too good for you.

Answer 3

Why in the world would you want to move to a country that is failing?

Seriously, you have no idea the hardships coming on this country. Stay in Canada, American will eventually move up there.

Answer 4

all I can say is good luck!! US immigration is tough! they don't like "criminals". just get her to live in Canada! it's better anyway!

Answer 5

I can intelligently answer your question---- sorry....

But I would recommend getting some good health insurance; in our country, we'll dump your *** on the street if you can't pay a hospital bill.

Answer 6

It's easier to get into this country than any other, but I don't know why you would want to.  The way things are going and with the impending health care like you have there, I'm looking to get out of here.

Answer 7

You have a criminal record.  You are not coming to the US.  A pardon won't help.  The conviction is still on your record.  See if your gf wants to move to Canada.
