Help with decision

[gerrymeridamx 2]

I need some opinions. In a few weeks my fiance has his interview in Juarez, Mexico. I am flying to meet him but I got a ticket to El Paso instead of to Juarez (because it costs $500 less to fly to El Paso). My flight arrives at 7:00 in El Paso and so my fiance has arranged for a taxi to take him from Juarez to El Paso to pick me up. We were uncomfortable with me traveling in a taxi alone at night in Juarez so we thought this was the best solution. He has a B1/B2 visa that he uses to come back and forth for visits and so we assume he would be able to cross to get me. Some of his friends recommended that we do not do this because he might get refused entry since he is now likely registered as an intending immigrant. They said that then he would have to put on his forms that he has been refused entry and would have to go through a different process. If this were the case then of course he should just not even try to come pick me up. To be honest I am very anxious about traveling alone at night in Juarez and I was so relieved when we came up with the idea of him coming to get me. I am trying to weigh the benefits against the risks and need some people’s opinions to help with the decision.

A refusal of entry for the usual reasons has no affect on a K visa. Yes, he will have to mention it. And what? Unless he is refused because he is carrying a bale of marijuana it has not affect. His friends are not correct (big surprise) Carry on with your plans. Have him bring his confirmation of an interview in Juarez the next day as proof he will return...seriously, that is pretty good evidence. LOL

That is a really good point. I can't believe I didn't think of that. He can take his interview letter with him to prove that he intends to return right away.

Thanks, Gary
