My daughter is a dual citizen. She was born in the US. Her father (my husband) is an American and a I am Canadian. We live in Kansas.
She has lived in Canada for the past year as a dual citizen. She has a US birth certificate, a certificate of Canadian citizenship, and two passports (US and Canada).
She has had no trouble, since she has had two passports, crossing the border. The US does not request her Canadian passport (her car continues to have KS license tags). She enters Canada by showing her Canadian passport, but Canada often requests her US passport, because of her car. She has also had no trouble with them since she has had two passports, although Canadian Immigration kept her for two hours when she crossed the border, with only an American passport, to do her prospective student visit. She is currently a sophomore (2nd year) university student.
Her fiance is a Canadian citizen. They plan to marry in her home community, in Kansas.
Are there things we need to know regarding making the marriage legal? We have been told that, due to his citizenship, that might not be able to happen in the US. They are considering having their church wedding here, and then marrying legally in Canada, following their return home. However, life would be simpler if they could do both here, at the same time.
I've done some searching on the web. Have found nothing helpful on US Immigration sites. May begin to look on Canadian ones.
Does anyone have information? Also, a good link?
