Fiance Coming To Visit This Summer

[Samu and JoJo 0]

I've been very stressed out lately xp </3 I bought some tickets for Johan (beneficiary) to come and visit me this summer from June 13th to August 2nd...without even thinking there would be an issue. Now this whole issue thing comes up about the possibility of being denied entry because we are in the K1 visa process.

We have no proof of ties really, just the return ticket and our NOA1. Johan has just graduated school and is jobless, he is not enrolled in anything and lives in an apartment with his friend Eric. The apartment is payed for by Eric's mother, who has offered to do so for them on the condition that Eric got good grades in school.

The last time Johan visited me was @ Christmas time from December 21st to January 5th...and before that it was in 2009 for 2 weeks and a half.

Not only this but Johan lost his old passport and has ordered a new one now, so that is probably more reason to raise suspicion. I told him the risks of coming here and said I wouldn't be angry with him if he didn't want to go now. But he says that it didn't sound too bad and he's going to risk it.

I'm so worried. We both miss one another incredibly...and the thought of him being denied...I would just...I would not take it well at all.

They will require evidence that he is returning to his own country such as return tickets, proof of job, ongoing education, property ownership. Previous posts I have seen also mention that despite that there is still a possibility of the beneficiary being turned back. From what I understand at least two of the above would be necessary (in other words not just return tickets). Is there any chance of you visiting him?

Unfortunately no, I have already spent all the money I had saved up on those tickets, not only this but I have a job and can't take leave for so long.

Someone may have other suggestions on what is possible as evidence of him returning and I think it sometimes depends on the person at immigration on arrival whether they accept your situation or not. In a sense it is illogical that they think your fiance is going to overstay in view of the fact you are going for a K1 but sometimes they do.

If you are not going to get any refund on the ticket he could either risk it or what about meeting in a third country, e.g.Canada? (just a thought).

I know how tough this is to be apart and wish you all the best.

Luckilly, they let him through :] I got a call on my home phone saying that they are going to let him through but he can't work while he is here. Easy peasy <3

BTW: for others who are debating this, they don't know that you are even going through the K1 until you mention it :/ my fiancée confirmed this. It's the amount of time you are staying in the US that makes them suspicious, and in our case going through the K1 process actually was a good thing, because it showed the true reason why he was coming to the US, and showed that he wasn't coming to work here for the summer, but was simply coming to visit me :]
