Visiting the US while on DCF process

Hello Guys,

I will be visiting my in-laws for Christmas with my husband (they live in NJ). I am a Colombian citizen and I have a valid B1/B2 (visitor) visa and I also have a valid I-194 for about 4 more months ( I never return it right away since we live very close to the border and we cross the border a lot).

I am very scared about being denied entrance to the US now that I am under the DCF process.

I would like to know if anyone who has gone through the same process has had any problems visiting the US. I will be taking a plane and we will only stay for 4 days. I am planning to take a letter from work and also a copy of my lease to prove strong ties to Canada in case they ask for that info. We also have a return flight so I guess that should help.

Thank you in advance,

Lina

it is the same as any other entry... if you are questioned and are unable to convince the border official that you will leave and not immigrate then they will turn you back....

YMMV

Sounds like you have strong evidence, and the fact that it's such a short stay with return flight info is in your favor as well. In all likelihood, the DCF process won't even come up. :) And if it does, it really helps that your husband is traveling with you and returning to Canada as well - there would be more concern if the USC spouse was located in the US. :)
