I have started the application process to sponsor my wife who is a US citizen. We have not mailed the application as I am waiting for our marriage certificate. Our plan is that she come here for the 6 months and apply for an extension while we wait for the sponsorship to be approved.
I have a return ticket to California, and we plan to drive back to Canada so she can bring her dog, motorcycle and car. I've read a lot on this forum about possibly being denied at the border if it looks like you are intending to move here without the proper paperwork to do so.
I guess what I am asking is, if we just explain our intentions at the border, will she be denied entry? Technically she will be just visiting, but with the intention of her moving here once the sponsorship is approved.
We know if the extension doesn't get approved, she has to go back, and that's fine, she has family in the US that will help.
