You might want to fill in a few details in your profile.

I believe you are the prospective foreign fiancé.

I know you haven't started the process yet,

but you could indicate some details about your USC

girlfriend as well as indicating your nationality and

which route you both plan to follow.

Thanks

So to conclude this. I wont bring the girlfriend up untill there is asked for?

I start by telling the POE officers that Im going to see friends that I made while I was a exchange student during the school year 2008-2009 for 62 days.

Thats the idea?

Less is more. Tell them the truth but only simple short answers. Don't volunteer more as that would poss them to ask further questions.

You can stand me at the gates of hell, but I wont back down.

If your joking, then yeah there are alot of big No NO's to say.....And them folks....well I really don't think they have a sense of humor when on the job. There is one I have read that I know you diffidently shouldn't say..... your coming into the U.S.A. to marry your gal. The agent could take that as you intend to immigrate and deny your entry.

Dear all,

This summer I got a trip plannend to see my girlfriend/fiance. We havent started the K1 Proces yet.

The trip will be from July 1st untill Augst 31st, its during my schoolbreak.

I would like some advice on what to tell at the POE in Chicago.

I was a exchange student who played (American) Football for a year in Kansas. Should I tell the POE officers that

I am visitingen my friends (what I am ofcourse going to do) or should I say that I am visiting my girlfriend.

I really dont have any intention to stay because I have to finish my senior year after this summer.

Please give me advice, I am so nervous for the POE :(

Is the trip too long? Is it suspicous? Tell me!

Thank you!

Hey Brian,

I just wanted to say that I was in almost the same exact situation last year! I am also from the Netherlands and I visited my fiance last year also from July 1st to Aug 31 (what a coincidence!). I also used to be an exchange student in Wisconsin. My POE was Minneapolis. Just in case, I had a letter from school stating I had to be back for my Introduction Week starting September 1st also to finish my senior year of college! I was one of the first in lines and I got through with no problems. She did not even ask me my reason for visiting. She just checked my passport and wished me a good trip.

For previous visits, I have also never had any problems. Either they did not ask me anything or asked me my reason for visiting which I usually answered with going on vacation and to see my friends.

Don't worry too much, I am sure you will be fine. Just don't say anything untill they ask you something. Also if they would ask you who you are visiting and you feel better saying your girlfriend instead of friends or some other reason, there is nothing wrong with that. You are not doing anything wrong, and if any, you are doing things the right and legal way. Even if they have further questions or suspections, just tell them you are aware of your possibilites; k1, k3..etc. Show them you are knowledgeable about your options. Keep in mind that visiting each other is only better proof of a bonafide relationship. However, I am sure it won't come to this anyway! Again, you will be fine :)

Have a great and safe trip.. its wonderful to be with your fiance for such a long summer :).
