Yes, you can visit!

[Anna Grant 169]

I'm flying into JFK on April 3rd for a month and a half. We're not far away from NOA2 (in theory), so I'm hoping everything will go ok!

It's tricky because I'm renting a room from a friend so don't have any lease.. And I don't have any job ties either. It's so scary! But I'm sure if I take a copy of NOA1, and return flights, maybe a letter from our lawyer it'll be ok..

Any tips?

I'm in a similar situation - renting a room from a friend in the UK (that;s the problem - we're trying to cut our ties to the UK in preparation for moving to the US!). I went to WH Smith and bought one of their rent books and got her to compelte it for me. She also wrote a letter saying that I had paid for my rent up until a certain date which was beyond the date I was due to return to the UK.

Having said that, I wasn't asked to provide this proof but I felt better knowing I had it in my folder ready.

What if you stayed the whole 6 months at a time of ur visit in USA last tine bc the person is canadian.....and u re e enter america a week later ...as long as you show a return ticket will u be able to get in.? Reason for travel to see his daughter...and say were just friends.even if my fiancé doesn't go back on his rerun ticket....will it nor effect our fiancé visa as long as border doesn't know he's not rly leavin that soon?

I want my fiancé to keep visiting ...we r young couple and want him to b here for his child...what's the best thing to do without messing up our paperwork and keeping him here while doing it?

You have no timeline, so I can't tell whether you have started the K1 process. , if you have started the process although I do see that you have only joined the forum today. Whether you have started it or not may have impact on this. If you have already started then he can't really get away with saying he's just seeing his daughter.

There are two things that USCIS will be looking at:

1)how likely is it that your fiance will overstay his visa and become an illegal immigrant?

2)is he attempting to live in the US by staying longer in the US than in his home country.

If he only stays out of the US for one week after staying six months, it is quite possible that he will be refused entry. Although that will not have impact on the K1, he is unlikely to be able to return to the US until the K1 is granted (I am more familar with the visa waiver program, so someone who is more knowledgeable about eh US/Canida process might be able to help).

Also, what are his ties to Canada? If he is able to be away for 6 months, return for a week and then come back for 6 months, I take it he has no job based in Canada and no home? This may be a problem getting in to the US also. They will be assessing how likely it is that he will return to the US.

Yes, you are a young couple in love. I am half of an old couple in love. And it's incredibly difficult to be apart (I only left the US a week today after 90 days together and I'm missing my fiance like crazy). However, you need to see the ultimate goal here - to be together in the US for the rest of your lives. This temporary separation is just a time to get through.

I was wondering if there is any way to make the fiancé visa faster.....he's Canadian I'm American ...we have a child together ...and what is the quickest processing time for the visa ? Any tips on filling it out? And is this a complicated process?

The link to the 'guides' at the top is your best place to start. There is no way of making it faster unless one of you is in the US armed forces and is about to be deployed - then it can be requested to be expedited.

Check the link above for 'processing times' to see how long it takes. The K1 (fiance) route has always been seen as quicker but has been very slow recently. You can also get married and then petition your husband on a spouse visa - but it usually takes longer than the K1.

As I say - read the guides above and it will all become clearer.

I booked my flight to visit my fiancee in the US! I will be there in the beginning of April and I will stay for a week.

The thing is, she doesn't know I'm coming so I'm very excited to surprise her.

The only person there who knows is her best friend. I'm getting nervous for my enter at POE. Therefore, a few questions:

I own a family business with my parents and the only proof I can bring (besides my return ticket) is a letter from my dad, (co-owner) that states

I will only get to stay for a week and that he expects me back here at that certain date. Will that be enough?

I don't have proof of mortgage or car loans. So I will only stay for a week and my last visit dates from november.

Thank you all for your tips! They are more than welcome!

Has anyone had any experience with George Bush Airport (Houston)?

I'm hoping to visit my fiance soon, but I don't think I'll have anything to prove my ties to the UK. I live with my parents and don't have a job at the moment (I'm not a bum, honest!)

The only thing I really have is my Car (which I've just paid to insure for another year) and phone contract. Could they be used in any way?

Where do you live? Is it with your parents or somewhere else? If it's somewhere else, then get them to write a letter saying you're up to date with the rent and are expected back on a certain date. You dad could write a similar letter but a relative may not carry much weight if it's needed.

Do you have anything else? Phone contract? have you bought travel insurance which just covers the length of your stay? Anything else which demsntrates that you will be going back to you home country?

Having said that, you should be fine but it is always good to come prepared.

Yes, I would use both of those as evidence of your commitment to return. Does your car have finance on it?

Thanks for the reply. No the car doesn't have finance.

One more question, For the car I'm assuming I could take my certificate of insurance.

What would I use for the Phone Contract? As it's all done online.

Yeah, take your certificate of insurance. With your phone contract, there should be something somewhere which you can print off which shows what your terms and conditions are i.e. what your commitment is.

I have a question and this is my first time using this site. It is in regards to the K-1 visa process. I feel like a understand the process overall, but I have some questions of concern.

1.) I am in a relationship with a Peruvian citizen ( for 1 year now. yes we have met a few times in person ) who works in Canada as a "live in caregiver."

2.) I am curious if me being a US citizen, with her working in Canada at the moment if we can file for a K-1 visa still.

3.) Our "dream" would be that we file for the k-1 visa... she comes to USA to visit me ( once approved. ) on one of her vacations from working, and then she returns back to Canada to finish her 24 month contract agreement with the "live in caregiver" job she has. ( I am scared that doing this we might get denied because they might automatically assume once married she will not return to canada to continue her job... ) We just want a valid marriage here in the USA, so that once her contract agreement is over we can begin to process to get her over here in the USA to live with me so we can FINALLY have a normal life together.

If anyone could help me with information, or similar issues they might have had like this. Please anything would help.

Check out the guides. There is a link at the top of the page you will see. It is complicated but the guides are a must read. There is no way to speed things up unless you are active military. You are fortunate your fiance is Canadian, and you may visit each other during this process.

in the http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k1k2visa-application.html, under section 4.6 it says "Many people visit the US during the Process, but some newsgroupers have reported that once the initial background check is done by the Consulate, subsequent visits to the US required an additional FBI check done by the Consulate, which resulted in a delay in the visa application process. Refer questions regarding experiences to the newsgroup. "

My fiancee is visiting again in one month. she was here for 3 months then she is waiting one month then coming back for 2 months. will she have problems the second time around with a background check resulting in a delayed visa application process?

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (couldn't find anything using the search funtion):

How likely am I to get denied entry for a two week visit (with a return ticket, proof that our wedding is planned for a later point in time etc.) at the POE after we receive our NOA2?

We already planned our wedding for June, but since CSC is so slow, it looks like we'll have to reschedule. The problem is that my family already has their ticket to fly to the US and won't be able to get their money back if they cancel (and they can't reschedule they're vacation time), but there is no point in them flying over if I'm not there. So we thought maybe I could visit my fiance and his family along with my family, use the time to make final arrangements for our wedding, then return to Germany and get the K1.

I'm also still in school until the end of July...will a letter from my school be good proof of ties to Germany?

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
