My fiance and I met last year, visited each other twice during 2010, and then in December I went to stay with him for a few months. So I've been in the US for 3 months now and am planning to leave before the 6 months are up (as a Canadian, I can be in the US for 6 months out of a year with no visa. They don't give you an I-94 either).

In our declaration, I described both short visits and explained my current visit. It ends with:

"It is now March 5th, 2011. Since [cananner], as a Canadian visitor, can only be in the United States for 6 months out of a year, she will be returning to Montreal before May, so that she does not overstay her US visit."

I guess I'm just paranoid that whoever reviews our case will read that and be like "NO RETURN TICKET?!" even though we've stated that I'm fully aware that I can't just hang out in the US for an unlimited time. Is what I've written okay?

You just need to show that you've met face to face within the past two years.

I don't think it's even necessary. USCIS likely puts more priority on ensuring that you two have actually met. My fiancee was here in the US when I filed her I-129F and all I added to our "having met in the last 2 years" paper was a short sentence saying that she was currently here on a tourist visa and had arrived on X date.

Get a stamp on your way out of the US. You need to irrefutable evidence that you were in the united states or that they were in Canada with with you. I sent in my application but didn't have a copy of a boarding pass for flight or a copy of a passport stamp to show were in the eachother's countries. But here's also something that a friend of my did when her fiance was in the country they went to a land mark had their picture taken with the current news paper.

I have 0 stamps from crossing the border to Canada over 2 times a month for the past year and a half. I have asked a few times, and they don't. Best thing is to keep receipts from gas/purchases on both sides and keep a list to match.

Good luck!!

Your statement is fine. Now concentrate on providing primary evidence that she is/was here. Since there won't be passport stamps, airline boarding passes, in country receipts for her credit card purchases or proof of life photo will do.
