Ok, so long story short.

My fiancé is in Tennessee and I'm in Canada

My parents are snowbirds and usually travel and live in the USA for 3-4 months they own a home in Florida

I would like to go down for 4-5 months this summer and basically stay with my fiancé giving the impression that I'm going to my parents house in Florida for some of my stay, and travelling to Washington DC (Smithsonian) , Tennessee and Indiana (to visit friends) as well as south Dakota (mount rushmore) and going to Yellowstone National park for some camping.

Is this likely to raise eyebrows? I would like to visit all of these places and should have enough funds to do so, but I think the reality may be far different. I would like to take his kids to Orlando and maybe do the Disney world thing, and I've always wanted to see mount rushmore, Yellowstone and the Smithsonian.

In reality I think I'll just end up going to my fiancée's and playing with his kids all summer...

So I suppose my question is if I go down and tell the border patrol that, am I lying?

I am a youngish (30 something) white female I plan on bringing my lease agreement, proof of leave of absence from my job, my dog and summer clothes....how likely is it that I will be turned away at the border?

If they do probe into my relationship with my friends I will say I do plan on visiting and travelling with my fiancé and his children.

I have travelled to visit quite a few times to visit only stating that I am visiting friends and never been questioned ...only when I crossed at Detroit and told them I was visiting my then boyfriend now fiancé did I ever have a problem.

But I have never gone for this long before, so I'm a bit more worried. Any advice would be welcome.

Does the 90 day stay limit for VWP count for Canada? Is crossing the canada/US border even count as VWP?
