If you have a proper work visa I do not think it should be a problem. There are many members here successfully entered the US with other visas and never encountered any problems.

You will be totally fine. After we filed the i129f, I travelled to the US about five or six times. Just answer their questions honestly and don't offer any information they do not specifically ask about. It is always a good idea to have some form of proof of your ties to Canada (letter from work or lease agreement or anything that shows you will be returning to Canada).

:D good luck on your k1 journey!

I do get paperwork/visa from my company stating that I am able to work in the US so as long as that's all I need, thanks. Even though I've traveled to the US a bunch for work, I still get nervous when they ask me questions even though I have never done anything illegal in my life! lol

I never thought of bringing a lease agreement, that's a good idea. Better safe than sorry! Thanks for the advice, looks like from your timeline your process went fairly smoothly, I may have some questions for you along the way! Where in Canada are you from?
