Visiting my US fiancé in the US for the second time?

[Fernanda & Caleb 0]

Hey guys, 

 

I'm from Brazil and I already have a US tourist visa. I visited my fiancé, who is a US citizen and who was my boyfriend at the time, in December of last year without any problems. I said at the visa interview that I was going to spend Christmas with him and I said to the immigration officer that I was visiting my boyfriend - he asked me several questions about him and our relationship that I answered and it went ok. 
I'm an undergraduate student (I'll be graduated by the end of this year) and I work part time at the Brazilian ministry of foreign affairs (I have a work contract with them that goes until the end of the year). My fiancé is a police officer and a masters student. 
We recently got me a really cheap plane ticket, so we could meet again in the US in July, during my school break. The thing is that we also JUST sent the package for the k1 visa - the processing time of it would be a little bit longer than the time I need to graduate and of the time we need to organize our lives to get married.  
I'm very concerned with this trip now - how should I answer the officer questions when arriving in the US? They always ask "where are you staying?", should I answer "at my boyfriend's" or should I mention that  we're engaged? My previous experience with the US immigration services is that you should be calm and honest and keep your answers short, but I read that people who are engaged or married and applying for a spouse visa tend to be denied as tourists when landing at the airports, because the officer tends to assume that you want to hurry their processes and get married in the US. Do they have access to our k1 application?

 

Thank you!

How should you answer the questions? There is only one way you should ever answer questions in this process - truthfully. It's not necessary to disclose that you are engaged unless specifically asked. Whether you say 'boyfriend's house' or 'fiancé's house' is not an issue. Engaged is not a legally recognized status in the US.

 

Entry is only ever guaranteed for USCs. The rest of us have to answer honestly and hope for the best. A short visit with a return ticket isn't usually a problem. I visited my husband more than once whilst my visa process was ongoing. It's up to you, no one else, to convince the officer on duty that you are not going to overstay.

Tell the truth. If he’s not your boyfriend don’t say so.

be honest and it should be fine specially because you came and went back home previously. 

Have the notice from the k1 ready as well as papers from school and work, if needed

How did the trip go? I am curious as I am in the same situation because my girlfriend has a tourist visa and will be traveling back and forth quite often. We want to make sure she can still use her tourist visa while the K1 visa is processing.
