Question Regarding Marrying American Without K-1 Visa

[falcngrl 3]

I got married in the states to an American and then came back to Canada to live. We've now completed (as of today says Issued) our visa process. I travelled back and forth regularly and just brought proof of employment, proof of residency and proof that I'd started the CR1 process.

Hypothetical Question About Worst Case Scenario:

Is there any chance (for example if I get a guard in a foul mood) that I can be refused entry even with all the supporting documentation proving ties to Canada (photocopy of the marriage certificate, letter of employment, and return ticket) when I go to visit my American wife?

If such a situation was to happen, is there any recourse that I can take, such as to speak to one of their supervisors to explain my case, or would that just end up with me getting a negative note put on my US travel record by CBP?

Thanks.

Gosh I really think you are over thinking everything here, getting yourself in a right old pickle (brit phrase)

I carried only my passport and ticket

During our time apart I reckon my wife and I travelled to see each other 8 times, we also travelled to different countries

Your good chill man lol

I just like to have all my bases covered before I step on that flight.

Like Benjamin Franklin said: "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."

Yes - its up to the border guard each and every time. There is no appeal process (you can ask to speak with a supervisor 'I think'. but they are generally of the same opinion.....you turn around and go back home, you can just attempt to travel again (people have done it as soon as the next day)...always being honest and you might expect to be pulled into secondary if you've been refused previously. Come prepared with your ties and perhaps even a copy of any notifications you've received from the Canadian immigration process which shows you are in fact bringing her to Canada eventually.

Be prepared!
