Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois

Hello,

My fiance lives in the USA, I live in Canada.

We had our religious wedding abt a month ago, we did not legal paperwork as we do not want to do anything incorrectly/illegally.

Our case is slightly complicated in that, when we got engaged a year ago when i visiting him,when I went back to canada I accidently mentioned my engagement- which led me to pay duty. Therefore the canadian government knows of my engagement.

My fiance and I are considering applying for a B2 visa for myself, then marry once im here and apply for an AOS + P-131.

Is this risky being that the canadian government already knows that i have an american citizen?

Will uscis find out about my intent to marry and move to the usa?

I would love some advice!

Thanks!

The proper visa would be a Fiance visa if not legally married. If married, then he has to petition you for consular processing of an immigrant visa (green card).
