One of my sons married a Canadian, and all I know is that marriage does not automatically mean that the Canadian can stay in the US legally. My son and DIL spent thousands of $ on an immigration attorney to help them with the paperwork which they couldn't seem to get right (he with an MD and she with a masters couldn't figure it out!) One of the things they had to prove was that their marriage was real and not one of convenience. I would think the 96 and 92 year old couple would have to prove she was more than a caretaker.
