Visiting the US while CR-1 in process

[Tumbleweed 0]

My husband was returned back home to the U.K because border patrol at the gate said we had already started the paperwork for his permanent residency and therefore he would have to go back to England to wait (of course this was on New Year's Eve last year and I'm guessing they were just "cranky" about having to work and took it out on us). My husband HAD all the docs proving he was planning to go back to the U.K after a 1 month visit.

I am just now seeing this....I cannot even imagine how that must have felt Sorry that happened. I know its always a risk...but up until I read your situation, the only thing I have been worried about is him not being able to travel on Friday because of weather stuff

Is he on his way Friday? That's so great - I have to say that although I'd never want to go back to a LDR, one of the best, most exciting parts was anticipating visits. Now I get to live vicariously through those going through now on VJ. EEEEeee!

Yep! He leaves Newcastle early Friday morning. The biggest concern now really is the snow that is forecasted for Thursday night. He is afraid his flight will be canceled or delayed...and I am afraid that since he only has 2 hours in Chicago, he won't make his connection there (depending on how much time he spends with the nice customs and immigration people). Then he'd be stuck in Chicago overnight Oh what a fun day I have planned on Friday. Me and flightaware.com are going to spend LOTS of time together until my man gets here

And YES...I am so excited I can't sit still! Today was my last day of work for 3 weeks because I cannot focus, and I have sooooooo much I want to do to get ready to make this the best Christmas EVER. Although next year will be even better, I have a feeling

Definitely LOVE the flight tracking - "OMG! They are 5mi off course in Texas!!"

Looks like the snow is meant to be keeping off till Sunday now, so i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Also, as far as im aware, if he misses his connecting flight due to immigration questioning him, they have to get him on the next available flight!

Just make sure he's confident and answers every question calmly, and im sure he'll be fine

Have a wonderful Christmas!

I guess since you are already married and when the CO will find of this visit at later stage it might create some problem, it is better not to take any risk in such case... after all both of you have whole life to spend together.
