What to expect at POE with fiance visa?

Not a whole lot to be honest. Just have a visa in hand :) they will do the paperwork and might ask you if you know you have to get married in 90 days and that's about it if you're flying.if you're driving that's different.

You should look in the review section, you can even filter by your country, might be some helpful recent reviews, but being you're Canada, should be pretty easy.

It depends on which is your POE, but in general you should expect:

to hand in the yellow envelope as soon as you get to the officer

to be asked some questions about your relationship (some of them are stupid, like I got asked  if the petitioner's name in my application is my future husband name... I was like: "emm... duh!!")

to be taken to the special room and have your information entered in by another officer

they may tell you some (weird) stuff to make you nervous and see how you react, stay calm at all times.. you are not doing anything illegal or wrong

If everything is fine with your application, this should be it..

 

It is not a big deal.. at the end of the day this is just paperwork they have to do and nothing else

 

Live, love, laugh.. and try not to think too much about USCIS

Everyone's experience is completely different. My husband is from Australia and this was his experience:  

 

My husband's said it was really casual and quick. They asked him what I did for a living and then what he did for living (I'm a Physical Therapist he is an Operations Management for international construction). Then jokingly the officer asked how we ever met with those jobs. My husband said at a Crossfit gym and the officer just laughed and rolled his eyes and asked for the envelope and that was it.

 

He thought this was pretty memorable because of the eye rolling....
