Hello!

I'm really glad I've found this forum. It will be nice to talk to people who are going through the same process that I am.

I wish I would have found it sooner, as it would have probably eased a lot of my previous worries.

A little about myself:

My name is Jennifer, and I live in the small town of Brinkley, Arkansas. My fiance is Thomas Letourneau, from Montreal Quebec, Canada.

We have been dating over 2 years. He asked me to marry him in June of 2005.

I am a little worried about the K-1 interview on Tuesday.

Before we started our K-1 process, I went to the Memphis center, and requested information on where to get started. I was told that Thomas could move here at anytime, and stay for a period of 6 months while we began the paperwork on his K-1 visa. So, he loaded up the moving truck, and was denied entry at the border, because he had no ties to Canada. If we would have been told this to begin with, we wouldn't have even attempted to move until the K-1 visa was approved. :(

I am worried that they will hold that against him at his interview. I have heard nothing but nice things about the people who work at the Consulate in Montreal, and it has given me some peace of mind. All of this happend from lack of knowledge about the process. I am just hoping all goes well.

Poor Thomas has had all of his belongings in storage since November 2005 when he tried to move. My poor baby :(

I look forward to getting to know some of you here!

Hey! :) Welcome to VJ. Try not to worry so much...it'll be just fine. I don't think they would give your fiance trouble because of being turned around at the border because he had not enough ties to Canada. It's a pretty common reason. If the officer ask about this at the interview, just tell them the truth. Good luck!

Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better. Like I said, there was no malicious intent involved at all. We were just misinformed, and didn't know much about the whole process. We're just anxious to be together :blush:

Excited and anxious at the same time, I know the feeling, my fiance's interview in Paris was only 4 days ago! We were so worried... and it was a breeze, no problems at all! Your honey's interview will go just fine, you'll be together soon. :D And yeah, I've read on here a couple times about people asking if a prior turn-away at POE for not having enough ties to the home country would cause trouble... and the answer was always no. So I don't have any personal experience with that, but from what I've read, it's common and won't cause any trouble at the interview. Just don't lie about it - tell your fiance to give an honest answer if they ask! :thumbs:
