Hi guys, I have a question, do any of you know if I can travel to USA while waiting for my k1 visa.

My fiancé wants me to move to the states and just wait there for the process, and if I need to come back for the interview. Will I have any problems trying to go through customs?? Any advice?

you cant move to the united states before the visa is complete. you cant visit if you can get your visa. and you would have to return for your interview...

but its good being with your partner on this long wait for the visa..

I've done this once (on a b2), no problems. Bring strong ties to your home country. Where are you from? We filed June 4th and I've pretty much been in the states since apart from one week, so it is possible. It's all down to the border agent On the day. What airport you coming in through? Do you have strong ties that you can prove you will return?

Think she's just asking if she can visit before k1 is issued, not move to the states beforehand.

Hi, exactly, I just want to visit my fiance for my vacations so it will be around 20 days. What should i say to the agent in customs when he asks what is the purpose of my trip, I always said vacations, but I dont know what would I say now.

Is it still a vacation? Yes! Then say vacation.

Bring your K-1documents to show you are doing it the legal way and also bring strong ties to home like a letter of employment, lease agreement, etc.

^This is good stuff. The only thing I'll add is: And don't volunteer any info unless specifically asked about it.
