Help? A bit confused

[Sweetrayne 7]

Hi, I am new to this forum. I met a wonderful man who happens to live in Australia. I live in Usa. We met on line and met in person June of 2012. He came on a visa waiver for 2 weeks. At that time I did not introduce him to my kids as I wanted to be sure about our relationship. He then came back on a travel visa this past September (2012) and stayed the full 6 months. We wanted to see if we were really compatible and how things worked with my children. He did not work while he was here and left without a problem.

Here is where I am confused after reading several various sites. He wants, we want, him to come back this May (2012) for my daughters graduation. He would only be in USA this visit for maybe a month/3 weeks. Then I plan to return to Australia with him and stay for almost a month. He would then like to come back to USA in June with me and stay for about 4 months. Is there a reason that this would be a problem, denied entry? He is not currently working, but his parents own a company which, if needed he could work. He is now living with his parents, as he sold most of his belongings in order to make an easier relocation to USA in the future. Obviously we would do nothing to jeopardize him being deported or K! visa process. He has strong family ties to Australia, as well other assets that tie him to his country.

Also we are in the process of applying for K1 visa..paperwork to be completed this week and mailed. Can he visit while this is being done? Will it cause problems or holds on the K1 if he does visit?

Any help would be appreciated...and I also know that it is up to the Boarder Patrol officer at airport to decide if he can enter or not...just seeking some reassurance from other people in similar situation...

My Australian fiance' applied for a B2 visa in Australia and was not approved since we have a K1 application being processed. And yes, the Immigration Officer at the point of entry has the authority to deny entry, regardless if someone holds a Visa. Good luck with your K1! We are in similar situations.

Yep, it's the discretion of the border agent whether he wants to admit your fiance into the US. Typically they want to see that you're spending more time outside of the US than inside of the US. The fact that he was just here and stayed the full 6 months and is returning again so soon might raise an eyebrow...
