Hi, I am just curious as to whether it would be better for my fiance and I to buy myself a return ticket for 2-3 weeks (Aus- US) and then change the ticket afterwards after I have gained entry to the US to extend my stay?

Is that allowed?

We just started our K1 journey and I plan to take a 83 day visit in April so I can make my friends wedding, see my fiance and familiarize myself with where we will be living before I move there permanently (to hopefully aliviate culture shock and problems down the road).

Thanks! :bonk:

I visited the US 3 days after we filed the I-129F for an 88 day VWP visit. No problems at CBP, no questions about the length of my stay, I did not have to show ties to my home country...but I had all that ready with me.

It seems really suspicious to me to book a return for 3 weeks and then change the flight. Why not be honest up front?...what if they ask questions and realize that you are lying about the planned duration of your stay. The lie is not legal and is not necessary, you have up to 90 days on the VWP. Just take lots of evidence with you and prepare for questions.

I was nervous before my 88 day, so I understand your concern.

Best of luck!
