We received our NOA2 a few weeks ago. My fiance has been asked to come to the US to interview with a company (so he could have a job when he moves here after we get married!). Will he be stopped at the border if he tries to come even though we haven't gotten the fiance visa yet? He is from Denmark so he usually comes with the visa waiver.

The bad thing is it's completely up to the customs officer. Just remember that he can not work legally until you adjust status and apply for an EAD, which can take up to 3 months or more. Good luck with the visit! :)

Thanks. Yes we are aware of the EAD and adjustment of status. Praying he is in the line of a 'nice' customs officer!

The short answer is yes, your fiancé could visit and yes, it is possible he could be turned away (would really not have anything to do with the K-1 visa process being on-going though). (In most cases - there isn't a problem with the visit but best to prepare just in case.)

This gets asked fairly often so there is a page you could review, to prepare.

Frankly I think it has more to do with the ability of Danish nationals to get short term visas than any impact (positive or negative) on you K-1 process.

As long as he stays within the confines of the short term visit there should be no trouble.

Best of luck

Anyone else have any thoughts? Should he tell them he's here for a job interview or just to see me?
