Marriage green card confusion?!?

Question

I'm engaged to my American boyfriend and he is currently with the American Air Force. We would like to get married and live with each other in the states, but I don't want to give up my Canadian Citizenship. How exactly would this work? Is it posible for me to live there with him and stay Canadian?

Answer 1

let's take one step at a time. When you get married you do not automatically become a citizen anyway. You have to remain married for three years before that even becomes an option.
First you must get a fiancee visa, then when you come you must actually get married. After that you adjust your status to Conditional resident. Then after two years you may adjust that status from Conditional to permenant resident. After that you are able to apply to become a US citizen or you can remain a Permenant resident and will receive what is known as an Alien Registration Receipt card. If you do not want to become a US citizen then you will just have to renew it every ten years. Or you can also become a US citizen and will not lose your Canadian Citizenship. Only countries that force you to renounce your citizenship when you take that of another cost you your citizenship. The US does not care one way or another.

Answer 2

When you have a US green card, you are still a citizen of your native country. All a green card gives is permission to live in the US - it has no effect on your Canadian citizenship.

Canadian citizens can live anywhere in the world they want to (and are allowed to) without losing their citizenship. In addition, if you want to go beyond the green card, you can become a US citizen without losing your Canadian citizenship. Both the US and Canada allow dual (or more) citizenship.

Answer 3
