I want to come to the US from Canada on a fiancé visa, get married and then go back to Canada to wait for my green card. Can we file form I-130 instead of I-129F?
It seems a lot of trouble to go through to apply for a fiancé visa and then not stay in the US to complete the process. That is up to you. Alternatives are for you to come to the US by air under a Canadian passport if you are a Canadian national or with visiting visa if not, marry in the US, go back to Canada and have your spouse file an I-130 for you; or that your fiancé and you marry in Canada, she go back to the US and sponsor you under for an I-130 instead of I-129F.
