Didn't I just read somewhere on the forums that someone's fiance had traveled from NZ through Dublin and got stopped at Dublin, didn't have enough proof of ties, and had to withdraw their I-130? Now they have to start all over again. Hopefully that's not the case with Canadians.

Being denied entry because they believe you may try to stay and adjust status will not effect the visa process.

You say you read about someone's fiance beind denied entry and them having to withdraw the I-130, but you have to be married to file the I-130. If they really had filed the I-130, it's possible that when trying to visit the US, the problem was realized. If you meant they had to withdraw their I-129, then it was for another reason.

Also, Canadians pre-clear U.S. customs in Canada - so 'being turned back' there means leaving the airport/land port and heading home, not a 20 hour flight home...thankfully.

I honestly can't remember if it was a fiance or husband, especially since I was skimming. Just that they were heartbroken at having to start over again...and now broke! Poor things, my heart broke for them just skimming the story...

Yup, easier if you're in the same city or even province as the POE airport...
