Visiting fiance for a couple of months~

Hello, I plan on visiting my fiancé in South Korea this summer for at least 2-3 months. I was just wondering what I should expect and if this will be a problem. Does anyone have any experiences they'd like to share? I know that it is difficult for the fiancé to enter into the US and my lawyer advised against it as well but I asked my lawyer about the other way around and they said me visiting to Korea would be completely fine.

Will I be questioned at the airport about my plan on returning? Do I need to bring proof with me that I plan on returning to the US? Thanks!

finally, we made it!

US citizens generally have no issues getting a tourist visa into other countries.. Its other countries citizens that have to go threw hoops to get here (obviously) lol thats wat were all waiting on... Idk much about Korea.. But i can tell u its not needed to prove ur returning.. Everyones trying to come to the US not stay away in a foreign land lol ... Also idk wat u filed but a personal meet is necessary for k-1 visa's as well as many other types of visa's so u will have to go see ur partner before u can even file... The proof u met in person at least 1 time within 2 years prior to filing has to b sent in with the petition.. Have fun n take lots of pics.. Time stamped if possible.. And also keep all records..(flight itinarary, boarding passes, hotel receipts, ect..) may ur journey b blessed

Thanks for answering! ^~^ and he used to study here in America and that's how we met, plus we lived together for a short while before he went back to Korea as well. He had to go back after his visa expired and we were engaged before he left. So we filed for the K-1 Visa last year in November, and since everything seems to be slowing down with the USCIS we decided to just have myself come visit him because we have a feeling our wait is gonna be awhile before we receive approval~~ but thanks so much for the answer and I'll be sure to keep all our records and take lots of pictures ^_^

finally, we made it!

Same here! I'm going to stay with my fiance so we can continue this horrible waiting process together then hopefully attend the interview together. There is no problem. We are US citizens and can come and go as we please. I also talked to a tier 2 rep just to make sure and he said it is totally fine just have your paperwork ready and be sure to have notifications from USCIS turned on.! :) Have a nice trip. Good choice!
