I am a U.S. citizen by birth. My fiance is from Canada and has lived in the states legally for over a decade. We are planning a large wedding for May of next year, but his NAFTA visa expires in June.
My understanding is:
1) We cannot start the paperwork for his marriage-based green card until we are already married.
2) The paperwork takes 3-6 months to be processed.
3) He will be ineligible to renew his NAFTA visa once we start the process for his marriage-based green card.
First off, is my understanding correct? Secondly, how do we ensure that his green card is approved before his visa expires?
Thanks
A.B.
