3 more weeks, I will use singapore airline and will arrive in the US. I am soo nervous now. Even though I have a visa, i can be denied to enter right? I have no idea what to be asked.

I will use LAX and hope that i will not have to face any trouble. Anyone experienced difficulities? We are planning to marry on the 28th of June. But, I am not sure if my parents can make it or not. The thing is that my grandparents need help daily from my mom and there is a possiblity that we might have to marry by ourselves and have some dinner with my fiance's family. And when we go to to my home later one like next year or whatever, we can celebrate with my family. But, if I am asked at the POE about my parents' attending, should I simply say yes? I have no idea what to do.

Correct... You could still be turned away at the POE, though it's very unlikely. If you've been following the rules, you shouldn't have a problem. Don't worry about it!!

The questions they ask are generally pretty basic: reason for coming to the US, things like that. People being turned away at the POE for K-1's is rare unless something quite suspect is going on somehow.

If you are asked about your parents attending, just tell the truth... "I hope so"... "not sure yet"...

Don't worry about it! Good luck!

I doubt that they will even ask that. Remember that from many countries - India, Pakistan, Colombia, Viet Nam, Costa Rica etc. etc. - its almost impossible to get visitors visa to USA and almost no one attends the weddings of their children in USA because they just can't get the visa to get here. Don't worry about it, you are going to be fine. Good Luck

I will be honest, I have been a little worried too but really if you tell the truth and answer all questions there is nothing to worry about. As long as you are not a criminal or do lots of drugs or take drugs with you there should be NO problems. If you are a FRAUD k1 visa holder then there might be problems as well.

If you are non of these, NO problems.

I will use LAX and hope that i will not have to face any trouble. Anyone experienced difficulities? We are planning to marry on the 28th of June. But, I am not sure if my parents can make it or not. The thing is that my grandparents need help daily from my mom and there is a possiblity that we might have to marry by ourselves and have some dinner with my fiance's family. And when we go to to my home later one like next year or whatever, we can celebrate with my family. But, if I am asked at the POE about my parents' attending, should I simply say yes? I have no idea what to do.

I entered at JFK and had zero problems. I'd advice you to read a POE on LAX and see what people have to say about it.

Don't worry though. I agree with others; if you have nothing to hide, you'll be alright. I don't think that you'll be asked anything about our family's future visits eitherr. I have a similar situation with my parents actually; they couldn't join the little wedding we had back in March but they all - my both parents+my sister+her husband - are coming to visit this August (just got their visas May 28.) So happy!!!

Good luck with everything! Have a nice flight :) !

Each visa type has its occurences of denied entries. The chances of being denied on a B1/2 are significantly higher than a person entering on a K-1. If you have not had any prior visitation/entry "issues", the chances of denial for a K-1 are slim to none as all of the potentials should have been addressed prior to visa approval/issuance.

YMMV
