Is this going to interfere with K-1 process?

Fiance and I met in another usa town and dated/were together 3 years, he was there on profession work/employer sponsored visa that had to be renewed every 3 years, lived in that town for a total of 8 years, but never began a green card process. (paid taxes though:) We both left that town, he went on a trip around the world and I moved to new usa town. After trip, he came here to see me and we would decide if we wanted to continue the relationship, we'd been in touch by

Skype every 3 days during trip, so quite sure it was a yes.. We went to Canada together for the holiday to be with his family who I already met because I'd been there before as his gf. I flew back first. Few days later he was due to come here and got stopped at border, unable to prove ties to Canada and the whole stern interview, fingerprint and withdrawal of application happened. Border said don't come back without a job offer in hand. Ok it's a little tough to get a job offer here if you can't list a usa address. We are definitely in love and want to be together so decided to get married, he proposed.Had I not moved and he still at old job in there we met we would likely be married anyway. I filed for the K-1. So far I've received NOA1 in normal time.

Is this going to interfere with the fiance visa? Neither of us have any criminal history or health problems, we're unmarried/free to marry, middle age professionals, have tons of solid proof of a romantic relationship, etc.

He can't/won't be trying to cross until we're approved, so meanwhile I have to go to Canada; it's far. Do I say I am there to visit my fiance (help or hurt K1?) or just there to visit? I'll have my return flight obviously.

Him being denied entry that one time should not interfere with the K1 visa. However, it seems that working is important, please note that with the K1 visa, he won't be able to work for a while (about 3 months after you file the adjustment of status, after your wedding) once he immigrates. Or exit and re-enter the USA.

No being denied at the border for entry won't be an issue.

See the post above mine about working and k1 vs cr1.

Denied entry twice. No problem with our Cr1 visa.

When visiting Canada, tell the truth. No problem coming to visit your fiance

good luck
