Will there be any problems at customs?

Hi there! I am going over to the US next month on a 12 month Q1 work Visa, my fiance is an American (I'm British) and I spent a lot of time there last year, a friend of mine who frequently travels to the US on business told me I should be prepared, I didn't realise... So I checked out this forum for advice. Last year I spent roughly 6 months in America, 3 of those I was on a J1 work Visa, (Jan-April) then I came over in the summer for a month to be with my fiance, then again in October - December for 2 1/2 months, both times on a visa waiver. So I'm a little concerned I might be subject to questioning about this at customs? After my 12 month Visa runs out we are planning to get married and want to move to London (It's a civil union, so I wouldn't be able to live in the US even if I wanted to.)

I'm basically wondering if there will be any problems... I would think there is more of a concern if I was going over on another Visa waiver, however this is an issued work Visa, so I'm hoping it will be ok? Should I bring proof of our plans to move to London afterwards, etc (Not sure what kind of proof I could bring for this though.) Thanks for any help!

As with any entry into the US via a visa(vwp), it is up to CBP to determine if they let you in.

You should always show strong ties to return to your home country, be honest with answers, and you should have no issues.
