Going to the US before the K1 is finished

Hi everyone,

Is it possible for me to go to the USA for a visit while the K1 process is running ?

Regards

It is possible, yes - there's certainly nothing illegal about it.

But there is always a danger that the immigration officer at your arrival port will be concerned that you may be planning to immigrate prior to receiving the K1 visa. So if you choose to do this, be sure to take as much evidence of ties to your home country (such as mortgage/rental papers, a letter from your employer stating that you're expected back at work) as you can get hold of.

Are you going to visit using VWP?

While antone is quite correct, I've noticed (purely from reading on VJ) that in countries where VWP isn't an option that a B1/2 is quite hard to get if there is a K1 going thru
