More details to this question:
My fiance and I plan to get married Nov 2015. He is presently visiting me for Valentines Day as a Canadian visitor with a B-2 entry stamp expiring Aug 2015. He has significant ties in Canada (i.e. employment, apartment, etc). However, he has received a job offer for both the US and somewhere in Canada. We would like to live in the same country. We are debating having a civil marriage and filing for an adjustment of status rather than following the K-1 route. He could return to Canada once advance parole is granted to collect his belongings. Do you see any complications in him staying and filing here versus K-1? Our hesitation around the K-1 visa stems from uncertainty around timing for him to attend the wedding.

Hi. I do not see a problem with that, as long as he changed his mind to stay after he arrived in the US. It will take about 3 months to get the advance parole for traveling and the work permit. We process similar cases and would be happy to review and discuss the process anytime.
