Is this ok to do?

[Shub 78]

I hope I can make myself clear.

We've recently applied for the K-1 and everything should be fine in that department.

I was wondering if, after I get the visa, and if I wanted to do two trips to the US to move more stuff cheaply (those damned international movers are insanely expensive), I could enter the U.S. twice: the first time on the VWP, then go back to my country to fetch more junk, then enter the U.S. on my K-1.

I know the K-1 needs to be used within 6 months of issuance (right?), and that would not be a problem. Would what I'm describing be a problem?

What happens if you get denied the VISA, and your items are in the US?

He/She said after they get the visa.

I think it would be safer to apply for advanced parole. What if they try to turn you away the first time because they don't believe you have enough ties to your home country and see all the stuff you're bringing? Although I guess you wouldn't want to be that long without your stuff. Perhaps look into an international shipping company.

Why not get a sea shipping frieght forwarder? Even if yo come back to get more items, you are still limited to what you can take on a plane. If you actually have that many things, I would think you could go through WestKamp or IFF and have it stuck on a boat for as cheap as a airline ticket.

If you are only moving a small amount of goods maybe excess baggage costs will be more reasonable.

I don't know what's available from your country but I found a company that picked up 7 bags from me the day before I left the UK and delivered them to my fiance by Fedex while I was waiting to board my plane at Heathrow.

I do not know about VWP. But you have to show your passport to immigration officers on entry right? Do you have a choice/preference or is it up to immigration people to acknowledge the visa?

I used my K1 and had to go back to my country to complete my military obligation and the visa became useless. One entry only

Be careful. Very veryvery careful.

The visa will be stuck in your passport. I think you'll be questioned.

If a K-1 visa has been received, it will take precedence and be activated on you first visit in so you will not be allowed an interim VWP visit....

That makes sense. I expected something like that. Thanks.
