I have a bit of an advantage since it will come with marriage.

Funky - I think most of the paper work is similar. Bobby has to fill out some forms and once they get approved then I have to apply for a visa. We need to interview and all that jazz...

Once we get married in the US I will have to apply to switch my status from a visitor to a permanent resident. Time and patience is the biggest thing and cost. Each form and step is about $500 - $1000.

ouch!
I paid $550 (twice) for the applications, and $490 (once) for the right of permanent residence fee.. my interview was waived since I'm already inside the country
medical was expensive too - $180 in total and couldn't put it through my benefits at work and it's not covered by OHIP..

have a lot of patience in stock as far as I hear, immigration under spousal class can be time consuming, be prepared to reveal your personal correspondence with your bf/fiance, etc

best of luck

haha that's cute
Shortie, your case was too easy for these imigration morons whereas my families case is entirely different from yours & quite complicated. It's complicated because of wrong decision's made by them and now nobody wants to shine on the podium for these accousations. I will not elaborate.

P.S. She_Fitz, these morons have upgraded their "manuals" If you know that your doing something effy then just be positive in the actions that you make. Interviews are were most people make mistakes therefore are prohibit of the status they acquire. Good luck!

heeeeey I'm not that short

yeah family cases are much more complex.. the more dependents you have, the more there is a possibility of processing errors/problems

whatever the decision, you should be able to petition, no?

got my new SIN today - this one is forever!
