Does the immigration officer at the POE see that you've filed the K1 visa?

Some will say YES, others will say NO

I know that in my case, they knew we filed.

Good luck

In our case, YES. He reminded us to ensure that we were married within 90 days.

Was this when you entered the POE using the K1 or were just visiting while it was processing? You didn't offer this information up & he already knew???

Thanks for the responses!

Can you tell me how this went at your POE? I'm worried about my fiance getting turned away for fear of him staying (although if we've filed the K1, I would think that would show we're trying to go about things the right way...)

Thanks for your help!

This was when she entered on her K1. Are you referring to travelling while your K1 is being processed? If so, I do not know if the immigration officer at the POE would know. I initially thought you were referring to entry after K1 approved. Sorry.

Yes, I was referring to entering before the K1 approval, during the processing. No big deal, thanks for your help!

Shouldn't matter whether they know or not, really. As long as your fiancé is truthful about his intentions during his visit, you should be fine.

Well I agree it shouldn't matter since we're filling out the K1, but the immigration officer may think differently. We just want to know what to prepare for.

Prepare to answer the questions in a polite, simple and honest way. When asked what he's doing on his visit, he should say visiting his fiancée and go from there. Bring proof that you've filed for your K1 and are doing things the legal way. Bring proof of a return ticket and any ties to his home country that he can prove. Don't offer up any information that isn't asked for. That's really all you can do.

Ok, sounds like a good plan. Have you had any experience with this? I'm just wondering because my fiance visited on 7/15, before we were engaged, and he was given a bit of a hard time in Minneapolis (just about visiting his girlfriend.)

Also- I see that you sent your information to the Lewisville lockbox & it got forwarded on? I thought we were supposed to send it to that address? Has it changed? Thanks!!

Nope, no experience yet. I plan to be visiting in the month of October, so I am just going to be as honest and prepared as I can be. It all depends on if the border patrol officer is having a good day or not, unfortunately. I've never had issues visiting but I know of people that have. It's pretty random.

As for my package, I think I sent it off to the wrong location. I must have. According to USCIS website, if you're using USPS, it's to go to Dallas. But right underneath, it says if you're sending it Express (which we were) to send it to Lewisville. Sent it off to Lewisville and a couple hours after it arrived, they forwarded it to Dallas where it was signed for by USCIS. I was pretty confused.

October is when Nick will be visiting here as well, we'll have to post how it goes then!

Yeah, I'm confused on the package because I thought you had done it correctly. Not 100% sure where to send ours now...what was the cost to send Express if you don't mind my asking?

It cost us $18.50 US to send it overnight. And like I said, they forwarded it to Dallas almost right away, so my "mistake" (if it was that) didn't cost us much time at all. If I were you, though, I'd send yours to Dallas.

Ok, this might be a stupid question but should we change the address on our letters of intent if we're sending to Dallas instead of Lewisville? I don't know if that's something they'd care about or not but I guess better to be safe.

I didn't. On our letters of intent, we still have CSC listed. All Texas is going to do is log the package and forward it off to your service center.
