If I am not mistaken, you have either four or six months to activate it. The expiration date will be on your K1 when you get it. You don't have to activate it until you are ready. I suppose you could visit your fiancé and then activate the K1 when you're ready to move.

I think it's going to be up to the individual officer at the border. If the visa is in your passport when you're travelling, are you willing to go back to Canada if they insist you use the K-1 when entering? I think I've heard of people asking this question before, so you may want to do a search in this forum and see what results you get back. If you're driving, I guess you won't have to use your passport anyway, so you won't have to show it.

From my readings on VJ, others have done it, and it comes down to what the POE officer allows
