Visiting the US During DCF Filing (London)

[meganf0412 0]

Hello,

My husband (British citizen) and I (US citizen) have applied for the IR-1 visa via the London embassy. We have received our NOA1 as of the 18th of July.

We currently have plans to visit my family in mid-September (this trip was booked long before we decided to apply for the visa). We intend to fly to Toronto for a long weekend, and then drive over the border as my family is in Vermont. He will stay for a 2 week visit and then return to the UK alone (he already has a return ticket), and I will stay in the states to gain full-time employment and ensure that my sponsorship responsibilities are met.

My question is this: is there any issue with him joining me in the US for 2 weeks? I don't know if we will have our NOA2 at that time, potentially we will receive it just before we leave, and if this is the case, will that affect the trip at all?

I am just unsure of things like whether or not we should declare the visa application upon arrival? If so should we also bring further proof of his return to the UK (such as a letter from his employer which he is able to obtain and a copy of his letting agreement etc...)

Any advice is much appreciated. We just want to make sure we are fully following all the rules and I have seen some conflicting information from various sources.

Many thanks!

Hi,

Your husband should have no problems. Just bring proof (aside from the ticket out of the US) that he is maintaining his residency in the UK; lease, job, etc.

Be honest at the POE. Don't hide anything. Don't disclose anything unless asked.

Safe travels.

Thanks for the info! That's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure we were doing everything by the books.
