Proof of ties

[Amecia 1]

Well here we go again... I once again want to visit my fiance in the US and need some advice as to what documents I could bring to prove my ties this time. The situation is somewhat different now. Last time, I had a job, I was pregnant but had a Dr's letter stating I was coming back to Canada for the birth, and I had a rental agreement. Now, my baby is here so I don't have a job (I am on mat leave), I don't have a Dr's letter and the only thing I really have is a rental agreement. Also, we are still gathering documents to apply for the K1 visa so I don't even have a NOA1. Am I completely screwed or is there anything I can do? My fiance can't come and visit me because of personal issues, and the only way he can meet her is if I go down there to visit him. From this end, it's looking like I won't be able to see him again until I get my visa and that's months away.

A rental agreement is good, so is a return ticket. What about a pending doctor's apointment for you or the baby? You say you are on mat leave, so you are on leave from a job right? Can't you get a letter from your employer saying when you are expected to return? Even if that is months away?

Are you bringing your child with you?

You certainly won't be granted admittance if you don't try! You have more than a lot of people who are granted admittance.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't have a job to go back to (long story). I will have appointments booked for the baby so I guess I could ask her doctor to write me a note or something. I was thinking of bringing my tax return for the last 2 years to prove I have been working and the only reason I am not right now is because I have a newborn. All my utilities are included in my rent so I don't have bills for those, but I do have a cell phone so I could bring the bill for that. I just don't know how much weight this will carry. Yes, I am bringing the baby with me.
