My boyfriend is from South Korea and he came to the US in September of this year for a little more than a month total. He traveled to LA for about two weeks and then flew down to Florida and stayed with me for 3 weeks. When he arrived in LA, he was asked if he was visiting anyone. He was worried they d send him back home so he told the officer no and they let him in. When I talked to him about it later, he tried to justify it by saying he meant he wasn t visiting anyone in LA specifically, which was true. We already applied for the K1 visa in October of this year and are awaiting our NOA2.
He s planning on coming back next month and he wants to stay with me for 2 months. We re worried he ll be stopped again and asked about his previous visit. He wasn t honest with them and we don t want our visa case to be affected. I know he can provide proof that he s traveling back home by providing his return ticket back to Korea. He s unemployed and lives with his dad. I m not sure what other evidence he could provide to prove he has ties back in his home country. Has anyone experienced ever experienced something similar before?
1. What are some pieces of evidence he could provide to prove he has ties back home?
2. If asked his intentions on visiting the US, should he be honest about our pending K1 visa? I told him that he shouldn t lie but he also shouldn t give them more info than they re asking for. We want to avoid any issues with the immigration officers.
3. If our petition is approved and he s asked about this situation at the interview, he should just explain it all?
