Hi! I’m going to be driving to Canada to pick up my fiancé, I was wondering if anyone has crossed the border and remembers the exact process and questions you were asked? 

 

I recently quit my job due to a toxic work environment and to look for better opportunities for better money. Will me as the petitioner not having a job (just for a a short time) effect her entry into the US? Do they ask about that?

The financial decision was made at time of interview 

YMMV

2 of you not working is a financial issue.

Even with me having a co sponsor? She was already approved for the visa. I’m pretty sure I have a new job lined up that I’ll get. I just won’t have a job when I get her next week and bring her back to the US. I’m just curious if the border officers will ask about that or if it will cause her to be denied entry

My now husband and his mother drove up to get the kids and I. They traveled in two vehicles. They were asked what the purpose of the visit was. My husband being first in line told them that he was coming to get his fiancee and kids to move us to the US on our K1 and K2 visas. He mentioned that his mother was in the car behind him and she was helping with the move. They didn't ask any other questions and just verified with his mother that she was with him. 

 

Once they realize what your plans are you should not have any issues. I doubt they will be asking about your ties to the US at that point.
