Visiting the US during visa processing

[djamella 5]

Hi everyone, I am new to this site and hopefully someone could help me.

We got married october 2011 in denmark, my husband is american and I am german with north-african background.

I booked a flight at the end of this month, for only 5 days to spent some time on my husbands birthday, now ... could there be any

problems entering the US when he will send out our forms this week?

What paperwork could I bring to indicate that I have no intention to stay in the usa, only for this short-trip, after all I have a job and

my son will be expecting me to be back ....

You should be fine. I have travelled to the US a couple times to visit my husband and has been ok. Questioned a lot though. Just be honest and you will be fine. Here's my advice from what i have experienced.

My first question for you is...has your husband filed for you yet?

If he has filed and you have received your NOA1 bring that with you. This will show that you have started your process and have the right intentions. Also, make sure you have a return ticket. Other things they ask for are a work agreement or letter from your employer to show you are expected back at work, an apartment/house rental agreement. Anything that shows you have to return to your own country. If asked what your intentions are, say you are on VACATION and VISITING your husband. You will no doubt be asked where you will be staying, what your husband does for work, etc. And prepare yourself to be asked the same questions several times. It works more in your favour if you are upfront and honest.

If you and your husband HAVE NOT sent in any applications for you, then don't bring it up. What is the purpose of your visit? VACATION. If you indeed plan to only stay for the short visit and leave on your said date, there is no need to bring up your marriage. You are not lying. You will probably still need all the evidence to show you have to return to your home country, but if you say you intend to immigrate, you will be questioned harder. Don't show them anything unless they ask for it. Just have it with you.

I hope this helps! If it doesn't make sense, feel free to message me!

Key words to use are VACATION and VISITING.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Sorry, i just re-read your posting and saw that the paperwork will be sent out this week.

In this case, i'd go with the second option. You are going on a vacation...simple!

Awww, thank you so much, yes indeed .. only for visit. I have a son from a previous marriage who is surely waiting on mami to come back home ;-) and defently have a job I need to come back to.

Also, we allready booked and paid my husbands ticket to come to germany during eastern, I could also bring that with me.

No intentions to stay and my husband sent the paperwork out yesterday ;-) We are both some sort of exited to see what will happen now ...
