I had a question that i really need some answers or even just even input on. Me and my wife are currently filing DCF through Montreal. In order to fulfill domicile requirements she has moved back to the US. I have moved in with my parents while the process is going on. Now i know that while the process of DCF is going on i cannot be in the US. I Know it can be hit or miss thing to get through customs just to visit and might not even work. I have read here this usually requires proof of apartment, car, job in the home country to come back to.

I have non of those right now, my question is that if i tried to go to the states for a visit while being completely honest at customs would the fact that Im applying for immigration then completely stop the DCF process and would cause serious harm baring me from applying, or would they simple say "sorry sir but we cant let you enter the county". Also if i came to customs with a letter from my brother in law who is a Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent saying that he will make sure that I am out of the country on such and such a date. Would having this do any kind of good with Customs letting me into the US for a visit to see my wife?

Sure you are allowed to visit while the DCF is going on. The fact that you are working on an immigrant visa is proof that you are doing it the right way. Even if refused entry by some paranoid CBP Officer, it would have no influence on your petition.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

I think it's on a case by case basis.

I don't think any one individual can say what happened to them is the way it is for everyone.

Good luck

By the way, there is a thread on this subject it's got a lot of good info. I don't know exactly where it is on here maybe someone else can help but I found it and it talks about a lot of different people who had good and not so good experiences.

I think it might help you if you found it. It's on this forum somehwere
