Fiance lives in U.S. and I live in Canada. I think I read somewhere that at some point during the K-1 process, I will not be able to enter the U.S. but my fiance can still visit me in Canada. Can anyone give me some info about this please? At this point in time we are just starting to talk about putting the first package together.

I went to the USA 1 or 2 weeks after Jamie sent the K1 package and I stayed 90 days.

I stayed 2 hours at LAX with an officer asking questions, as soon as I mentionned the K1 he let me get in...

It depends of the officer, no rules here !

It depends on the officer you encounter. Usually, if you are completely honest and bring plenty of "proof of ties" to Canada, you will be able to visit throughout the entire period. One thing not recommended is to carry a LOT of things with you. If the officer gets the feeling that you are planning to enter and not return to CA, it is in thier power to deny you entry at that time. It will then depend on how they choose to note this in the system as to whether you will be allowed to enter at all before your K-1 is approved.

There is no point other than when at the end of this process and you have your visa in the passport, and you want to just visit and not activate the visa, then you might run into some difficulty...visiting but not activating it. It still can however be done, but most people don't risk it.

As long as you have ties to Canada and have appropriate paperwork at the POE's, you shouldn't have any problems.
