POE question

[lacietee 0]

do you actually need proof that you are returning even when you get approved for the k1 visa?

could you get denied at POE if you dont have enought proof that you are returning?

I don't plan on returning once I have my K-1, so won't be taking anything.

No, you don't need any proof that your returning to your home country because it's generally expected that you will be staying in the USA. Even though it's a 'non immigrant' visa, the purpose of it is so that you can marry and then file adjustment of status and stay in the USA.

No, you don't bring proof you will returning because you won't be. That is the point of the K-1 visa. It is not a tourist visa. The K-1 becomes null and void after you use it to enter. There is no returning and coming back again with it. It is a one time entry visa for the sole purpose of entering, getting married within 90 days and staying permanently through marriage to a USC (you will be filing to adjust status after you marry to get the green card and become a permanent resident). You cannot leave until you have AP or the green card after filing for AOS. You should read through all the guides here to learn all about the immigration process you are undertaking.

K1 is a non-immigrant visa but it's being treated like an immigrant one. The whole purpose of the process is to move to the U.S. to be with your future spouse. In this regard, no, in no way will they require you to show proof of ties to Canada at the moment of entering on a K1 visa.

On the forms you will need for the embassy, if you look at the examples here on VJ, you put that you intend to stay indefinitely and that the purpose of your trip is your relocation to the USA. This is what the visa is all about. So no worries

Good luck.
