K-1 interview pending but need to travel to usa

[RN0880 0]

Hello! I'm on the k-1 visa and anticipating the interview on june 17 here in London. My fiance just had undergone surgery and he still is in the hospital. I'd want to be with him at this time as I am worried about him. I have been using the ESTA previously but it now expired. I literally made a new application for ESTA. Would it be risky to travel at this time? I plan on only staying a week as I am on annual leave until the 3rd of june. I really want to see him and I am itching to book a return ticket like right now!!

There's always a risk they won't let you in but if you take a copy of your interview letter with you then you should be fine. Good luck and I hope he has a speedy recovery.

ESTA usually comes back straight away, how long have you visited before?

Thanks Pheebs!! It's bad enough that I worry about him, then there's the exorbitant airfare and the threat of being rejected by the custom official. Waaahhh!!!

My new ESTA authorization has been approved. I've been to the USA more than 10x since we've been together and I usually stay like for only 2-3 weeks and never overstay.

Sounds like a really rough time with a return ticket and interview letter fingers crossed it would be okay. Try STA travel for flights- I got a good last minute deal with them by being under 26. Not sure if this applies but hope it helps.
