I'm going to see my fiance in a couple weeks just decided hehe, anyway, what do i need to get past the border, before i started my k1 process i got denied because i didn't have a job to prove i was coming bk and it was early and couldn't get ahold of anyone that could tell them i was coming back, so now that i have started the process, is that going to come up when they run my passport? will i be flaged because of that last time? and what should i take with me, a letter from work? rental agreement? phone bill? i need to get through this time or im gonna go nutts.

I have visited my fiancee about 17 times over the past 2 years, and it's the same drill every time:

Customs: "What is the purposed of your trip"

ME: "Vacation"

Customs: "How long are you staying in the US?"

ME: "Until next (blank)"

Customs: "where are you staying?

ME: "At my GIRLFRIEND's (never say Fiancee unless they ask) place."

Customs (only asked a third of the time) "how did you meet?"

That's it. Simple. Don't volunteer more info than is necessary.

ya but you dont have a ring on your finger giving you away

If you have a ring on your finger, say fiance. One of our Border Officials here on VJ (he went through the process as well), always tells us, not to play with words...if you've filed, then he/she is your fiance, period. Saves you from slipping up, taking rings off, saying fiance one time, girlfriend/boyfriend another. Why play with fire.

Make sure after you get through the crossing, or when you return, you get back to us on how it went! Have fun!
