I always make sure to search the forums for answers to my questions. I have not found a answer to this one: My K1 visa is currently at the level of the USCIS. If my foreign finacee wanted to come to the USA on a J1 visa, is this permissible? I just read a posting that states travel to the USA by the foriegn beneficiary is not permissible once a K1 visa has been applied. Is this true? And at what stage? Once it gets to the NVC or from the beginning when it is at the level of USCIS?

Your fiancee may come and visit the USA while the I-129F is in process, but it's up to the discretion of CBP as to whether or not your fiancee will be admitted at Customs.

If your fiancee does attempt to visit you, make sure he brings significant ties to his country (mortgages, car payments, letter from his employer as to when he will be returning, etc)... However, even with all this documentation you should be prepared for your fiancee to be turned back at the border.

Good luck,

Alan
