Crossing a border near Detroit on a K1 visa

I'm bringing my fiancee home to the US this weekend, and would like to make sure we have everything we need to make the trip seemless. There is no Canadian car involved with the move so I guess that's a plus. Is there anything that my fiancee will need besides her K1 visa at the border crossing? Also, Is it frowned upon to pack the car full of her belongings when crossing over? Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

she'll need the sealed package she gets with her passport with new visa in it. And you can pack your car as full as you want.

Thanks for all the info. She just asked me about bringing her kitchen stuff, including kitchen knives. Any problem you're aware of in crossing the border with that kind of stuff?

nope

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

You'll need some paperwork to import your car. Do a search on the forum for all the info.

I knew there will be a compliance letter from the car company needed. Any other documents, I'm not sure. I'm still searching around for info.

Please advise .

Thanks.

I found people only talked about the compliance letter, which I already got one from Toyota for my Camry. Is there anything else?

There is a form or two, as well, I think.

Don't remember what it/they're called. Dude, I could do a search, or you could do a search. I prefer that you do it.

I did do the research, but I only found compliance letter is the important thing.

Btw, I wanna ask you something marriage in LA.

What are the steps? How long does it take to get marriage certificate to submit to immigration for changing the status? Which place can we go ? Any appointment require for marriage?
