OK here's the story, my interview date is June 18th in Montreal, I should receive my papers a few days after that.

I will be travelling to the US the end of June then apply for adjustment of status and employment authorization.

We just booked a trip to Jamaica for our first anniversary for the end of Aug. Will I be able to travel here? Do I have to apply to be able to do so or would a K3 let me in and out of the country.

Please help!!!

My spouse is on the CR-1/IR-1 path, so our case is a bit different. We chose that because we didn't want him to have to wait 60-90 days for Advance Parole, which is what you'll apply for after you get here (in addition to AOS and EAD).

It is my understanding that if you are here under a K-3, and doing your AOS, then you really shouldn't leave the US without your Advance Parole. Read the paperwork regarding the I-131 petition and check out if your K-3 allows entries from multiple countries. I think that with the K-3 you do have multiple entries, but I'm not sure if that means you can go to other countries other than your home country.

In any case, to be safe, I'd suggest waiting until you get your advance parole approved.

Good luck w/ your interview! :)

K3 is a MULTIPLE entry visa, no need for AP (thats k1)

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
