i-130 spouse in processing , travelling on b1/b2 visa

[gbhj 27]

Hello! 

 

I am hoping if someone could maybe help me by sharing an experience or some professional input regarding my travel plan to US.

I am a beneficiary to i-130 spouse petition filled in April, for which i have so far received NOA1 and waiting for approval. I have recently given interview and secured b1/b2 multiple entry 10 year visa to travel to US for  which during my interview i gave reason for travel/purpose attending a wedding .

 

1. i have bought a return ticket for a time span of 4 months , i was hoping if anyone could share their CBP experience, if anyone else had a petition pending and went with a long time span return ticket...( what kind of questions or documents were asked and so on ).. also since the wedding i am going to gets done in about 20 days can i face problem by telling CBP i want to spend the thanks giving and new year with friend and family 

 

2, in my ds-160 i mentioned i will be going for 20 days but since i have changed my plans and extended my stay to 4 months .. will this be smething that could land me in trouble with CBP??

 

3. Since i got a good deal on the return ticket with a clause that cancellation or date change will attract heavy penalty , is it fine to have 2 return tickets i.e incase if i have to buy an early retrun date ticket ?

 

 

thanks all for any and all help.

thanks for the share , its very informative.. 

 

just that my real concern is entering the U.S with a 4 month long return ticket.. is that something i should rebook .. also since it was a deal so its cheaper for me to book a one way return so having 2 return tickets can that be a red flag for cbp.. this is what is bothering me 😕
