Strong Ties

[gm33021 9]

My fiance intends to visit from Montreal in a few weeks. She has been in Canada for approximately 7 months. She was denied entry because they stated she spent more time than they would like and wanted her to re-establish residents in Canada. They said she "should" remain in Canada for a year...but the official said as he escorted her out of the airport..."wait 5-6 months and you would have no problem getting in"

My attorney has expressed that she show up to the airport for customs with paperwork showing strong ties. She does have a return ticket she is printing and bringing with her,just a carry on luggage enough for the 28 day stay. Also she will have a bank account statement. She lives with her mother, and currently does not have job. She will also bring a copy of the NOA1 to show the official that she is in the process of K-1 visa application and if she does not return or decides to get married while on visit she is commiting immagration fraud.

What other forms of strong ties are valid (i'm taking into account that ever borders official is different and it all depends on how they woke up that morning)

MY NOA1 was September 17, 2012
