Worried about Visiting Fiance on B1 Tourist Visa

[vvvVein 7]

Hi guys,

Im starting to become more panicked as the flight dates looms closer. Im really dreading the interogation at POE in America.

I visited in November for a week, by this stage the petition had just been approved.

Now im at the stage where the consulate has requested my readiness form once I have assembled the documents. (Irony being we are now the ones slowing the process down). As the petition has [assed through the NVC I presume this information will flag up when i try to pass through POE again for my two week holiday with my fiance starting on christmas day, or so is the plan.

Im worrying myself over and over with the thought of being turned away and missing out seeing her again. We plan to get the last two documents before I can be ready for the interview while im there and I really want to kiss her on New years eve.

I read so many people getting interogated when they see you have a fiance USC. I plan to take a bank statement with funds, tenancy agreement with current month paid for on bank statement, letter of employment and payslip. Is there anything else people would recomend. I feel so depressed when she is excited that im coming back over, and I just dont want to have to deliver that phone call to say im heading back on the next flight, Ill probably cry and have an emotional breakdown.

Any emotional support would be appreciated. I just want to see her again so bad, as im sure eveeryone does with their loved ones, especially over the christmas season.

That bolded part is the important part. You're taking evidence of your ties back to the UK. When I went over for Thanksgiving, I also took evidence with me both for the POE in Philadelphia and also the crossing through Canada both for the American CBP and for the Canadian CBSA. Thankfully I didn't need it as they took me at my word, but I had it nonetheless and I'll admit I got grilled a little but not pulled into secondary at Philly.

If you've got it, I'd take Packet 3 with you (the letter saying the Embassy are ready for you). That shows you're doing things legally. The important thing is to be honest but only answer their question directly. If you get asked why you're looking to enter the US, reply with "Christmas Vacation". If they then ask "Who with?" - that's the time to say "My fiancee". Don't offer the evidence unless they ask for it. But as I say, you're taking the evidence and that is a very good thing.

I was in the same stage you were last Christmas but I think I had scheduled the interview already. I traveled over the border with my fiancee and did not get pulled into secondary. As was posted earlier take ties to your country, any correspondence with consulate to show you are doing things legally and be honest at the POE.

Just really worried about being interogated and the worst outcome coming true.

I read one post here a while back. His fiancee got approved for B-2 visa by presenting to the CO that they are on processing for K-1 visa application. She finally flew out to the US from China and celebrating Thanksgiving day with her fiance family. If she can get approved for B-2 visa during K-1 visa application processing, why you can't visit your fiancee with B-2 visa as well?

Bring some proofs that you already approved for I-129F for instance NOA-2 hardcopy or print out all necessary documents regarding your application, and what stage for the process you are in now at POE. As long as you have a good argument that you will going back to finish all the process, I think nothing you should worry about. Good luck!

Your trip is short and for Christmas / New Year. That's pretty normal to want to be with a love one for the holidays. Tell them you want to kiss her on New Years. They will understand. It's not like you go for 3 months at a time.
