Traveling to see each other (US and Canada) after...

[Carlawarla 1]

For a Canadian, traveling to the U.S. is usually hassle-free but not always. The point is that you need to provide proof of ties if requested by the CBP Officer. Simply saying, "Yes, I have a job that I intend to return to and I am a student" is usually enough, but not always, and does not really prove anything.

Maybe he could bring along a class syllabus showing his final exam dates. I just don't want to have to involve his employer.

Sure, a class syllabus is good. Perhaps he has some rental lease, a mortgage, utitility or bank statements, appointment cards for a Dr. or Dentist appointment...gosh there are other things other than an employer letter. Most people I would suggest though do tell their employer, so it's easy enough to just ask for a letter when crossing the border.

I know there have been occassions where Canadians are asked for additional information when crossing the border, but really. This is not rocket science. There is no added responsiblity for anyone on a K-1 or K-3 or whatever to have additional paperwork. At ANY time when a Canadian crosses the border they can be asked for information to prove that there is no immigration intent.

Relax, answer all questions honestly, and you'll be fine.

BINGO! He has two orthodontist appointments for late in April! I'll ask him to bring those along with a syllabus.

Entered the US on May 4th with I-129F pending, after some consideration I decided not say anything about visiting my fiancee as I do not have any strong ties to Canada, Immigration at Pearson took 11 seconds, I counted. Purpose of trip: vacation.

We just checked our processing timeline, our dates got bumped up from July 24th to August 6th to July 4th to July 14th, 2009. Nice!

Hot down here in Florida.............................
