proof of intent to return

[♥Stiggy♥ 0]

Im going to be visiting my boyfriend in the spring for 2-3 months. Im just wondering what kind of proof I should bring to the POE to convince them of my intent to return?? I dont have a job, Im hoping to have one lined up in June, when I come back as a temporary 1 year contract.

All I have is:

-Custody of my kids (primary custody) and they are remaining here in Canada with my ex husband while I visit my boyfriend as he gets back from his military tour from the last year (wanna be there for his homecoming then for 2 months after);

-My bank account info stating my mortgage payment coming out with the bank statement showing my name (I lost my original mortgage documents , well I cant find them, theyre burried in some boxes, or do you think the statement is enough?)

-Im enrolled in a community college course that starts in september, for a year.

-ALL my family lives here in Canada

-return ticket

-medical insurance coverage for those 2 months

Im just nervous, since the last ime I went to the states to visit him for 10 days, the customs person at the POE gave me a hard time. Because I had no job, but she knew I had 2 kids and I was a stay at home mom. She knew I had a mortgage, but nothign to document it. And I didnt have my return ticket on hand, only the e-confirmation code.

But I dont know if she was suspicious either because I just visited 3 weeks prior, for a week. Literally, all I had was my passport last time I crossed.

Just last time with my experience it was just for 10 days and this time Im hoping to go for 2 months. But this time Ill actually bring info with me

Edited to add: If they ask why I dont hve a job and can afford a mortgage - my exhusbands child support payment is what pays it. He makes more then enough to pay my mortgage and property taxes,for my child support and my Child tax benefit (get a huge chunk) covers my other expenses

bank statements too, that would help, but what you got is pretty good. i think they hate the visit right after another, seems like you're gonna be out there. but other than that, just prove how you pay the mortgage...i think you should be ok.

Perhaps a letter from your ex-husband stating that he fully expects you to be returning on a specific date to come and get your children back.

thanks!

Hopefully my exhusband co-operates and writes a letter to that affect. Hes not too happy about my relationship with an american (hes one of those canadians).
