Marrying A Canadian With A P-1 Visa
I live in PA and my fiance is currently in the U.S. on a P-1 Visa that will expire at the end of august. Can we get married legally in the U.S. before his visa expires and not have to go through the K-I process? And if we can what paperwork would need to be filed for him to obtain a greencard?

Congratulations on your impending marriage!
Quote:
If your fiancé(e) is in the U.S. and entered using a visa other than a fiancé(e) visa, and you marry, then you may file an I-130 relative petition for him or her as your husband or wife. He/she may be able to file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, along with your petition. For more information about the I-130 relative petition, please see Fact Sheet A1.
