Visiting with a twist

[bozer632 0]

I have been reading about visiting the US while going throught the K-1 process. Although, my fiancee and I have not yet filed for the k-1 visa, we will have by the time she comes here to visit in Dec. She is planing on visiting for five day's here in Minnesota, then we planing on flying to Mexico for eight days then back to Minnesota where she will stay for an addt'l two days; then return to Canada. I was curious if anyone else has done this before? I am not as concerned about her entering from Canada to Minnesota as I am when we try to come back from Mexico. Any adivce would be appreciated.

From everything I have read on here, I would say she should simply plan on bringing documentation that her visit here is exactly that, a visit. If she is flying to the USA, then she will have tickets with her for all stages of the visit, including home after your visit to Mexico.

She should be honest and up front if asked about a K-1 having been filed, but the purpose of her trip is to visit and go on to Mexico, then back and on home.

She should bring documentation of her ties to Canada, such as a letter from her employer. Things that indicate she will return to Canada when the trip is finished. Otherwise, being Canadian, she should expect very little hassle.

Oh... And do NOT get excited and elope either in the USA or Mexico! Beyond that, have a ton of fun!

Good luck on your journey!

from my past experience...i am from canada.....and 40 mins from vermont border.....when we filed, i went all the time...no questions were asked....but when i finally recieved my noa2...we called the border and asked if we could still cross, and he said no problem, but just bring your noa2 with you, and like ready4you mentioned some paperwork that shows you still have toes with canada. thats what we did, and had no problem. its just a feeling with me, that you are not in their system untill recieving your noa2. could be wrong. but....good luck and all the best on your journey
