Hi, any ideas, I'm worried, I plan to drive from Canada to the US with my Fiance and his sister and spend a month with him over Christmas. His sister and him are driving up for the weekend and we are all going back together. Then I'm flying back to Australia, then we are applying for the K1. I want to tell the truth at the boarder, "I'm spending Christmas with my Fiance " I'm worried because I will have a lot of bags (4 suitcases) because I'm moving home, but I will have my flight home and I can print an email from my old employer offering me my job in Australia back. Will this be enough? what should I do at the boarder? Any advise? S.

A return ticket is good proof, as is a job offer.... how about a lease or mortage in Australia? The best advice I can give is be honest, do say you are visiting your fiance for 1 month, since that is the truth. Give specific dates, let them know when you're leaving, etc.
