quick question

even though we've gone through this a few times...I get really nervous each time.

My boyfriend is coming for a week..and will be leaving via bus on Monday night...does he need to show ties to Canada even though its for a week? He had to the last time because he was staying a lot longer...he's come before for a week and hasn't needed it...but I'm not sure if its different now. I guess I am just paranoid..I really hate this part of the trip. Especially since the last time he was denied entry(the first time) because he didn't have "ties" to Canada..he returned 2 days later with everything requested and was fine...

Thanks for the help..and sorry for my paranoia...we are NOT hiding anything. Nor will he be lying about his trip, but still...man, its stressful!!

Also, how do they keep track of how long he has stayed? We have counted every single day. And to our calculations he still has 60 days left til June(since someone said his time starts from the date of his first trip to the states..they started June 16th of last year) so according to our calculations he has 60 days left til then...

One more thing(sorry) when he came here the last time, his intent was to stay just a month..he told the border patrol officer he was only staying a month..that is because we weren't sure at the time how long he was allowed to stay(til I joined this forum and you awesome people helped us with that info) so he ended up staying Oct 14th-Jan22nd...but he told them he was returning to Canada mid to late November...will that matter? since he's still allowed 180 days?

Again sorry for all the questions...just still learning and NOT wanting to do anything to screw up our chances of getting a K1 visa in a few months when we apply for it.

Thank you all so much and I hope you are enjoying your weekend. We are due to get a couple of winter storms here in Massachusetts..BLAH so sick of winter already!!

ok I lied..it wasn't a quick question..but more like a few questions and a whole lot of rambling!! Sorry

You should always bring proof of ties no matter how long the stay is.

that's what I figured...the first few times he came here he didn't need them...but he is going to bring them now just in case. We don't want to take any chances...

Thank you SO MUCH!!

Yeah even when I came here to the US for a weekend, I brought a copy of my lease, letter from my boss saying I was due back at work on such date, etc. Just because I never lie so when asked where I was going and to see whom, I always said boyfriend and fiancee when that was the case. I wanted to show proof I was coming back, but was never asked to show it.

I was chastised once when I went across the border at Detroit to go and pick my fiance up at the airport - it was just a quick trip across the border and bringing him back home. I didn't bring my proof of ties with me and was sent into secondary. I did have his flight itinerary with me and so with that and searching my purse, they let me go to the airport with the admonition that I had to check back in with them on my way out of the US to prove I did leave. You can bet your booties I checked in with them on the way out. So, yes, regardless of how long or short a trip is, always bring your evidence of your proof of ties to Canada.
