Hey guys! I know there's a big visitation thread on there, but I couldn't find any instances where anyone visited for more than say, 3 months.

So I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with coming to visit their fiance for more than 3 months? I'm a U.S Citizen petitioning a K-1 visa for my Canadian fiance. We want to try and spend as much of the time together as we can, so we're going to have him come visit me in the states, and we're WANTING him to be bale to come visit for the allowed 6 months, but we're afraid of him being turned away. He's only visited the states once for a week ( 2 years ago ).

He lives with his parents and has no job currently ( the town we're in has literally no job opportunities ). But when I visited Canada I lived with my grandparents and had no job either, and they let me through. He will only have 2 suitcases for clothes and etc.

I'm hoping that the POE officers would understand that since we've filed for a K-1, we aren't going to risk our Visa by doing something illegal like getting married before our Visa is issued or having him overstay, but each POE and POE officer is different. So I'm just curious as to if anyone has any information on what I should bring or what we should say, and if anyone has any stories of their own where they visited their fiance for over 3 months.
