First of all, so sorry for the delayed reply. I was unable to make any more posts for the day. My parents support me a bit when it comes to travel, and they are retired from working for a commercial airline, so I am able fly standby at a much, much lower cost than the average person. I can understand why it would appear suspicious, that makes sense. I am definitely not working in the US. Would printing out my bank statements or something like that help show that I have no income other than ODSP?

I see. I understand. Should I still try to take my trip next week (and obviously gracefully accept it if I am denied)? Will trying next week hurt my chances of visiting later on?

I travelled to the US first in February for a short term fashion design program (4 months, it's not a valid program for a student visa, and I told them that's what I was there for), met him and we started dating in April, then I went home for a couple of weeks in May, came back to the US to finish fashion design program, came home end of June, then visited him in August for a week.

That's what I was afraid of. I have no ill intent or desire to stay, I just want to see my boyfriend and it's far easier for me to travel than for him (as he has a full time job).

I'm sure you're right, I'm just wondering if there's something I can bring to help show them that I'm not going to stay, or if having too much "evidence" is suspicious on its own. For example, should I print out my return ticket and the ticket to Cuba, or would having all that on me be worse?

You are absolutely right, I am just getting confused with terminology. I thought the paperwork I fill out is called a B-2, but you're right, I don't get a visa. I just get interviewed at the airport and that's where I'm really nervous. So sorry!

Hi everyone! I'd like to visit my boyfriend for a month, leaving next week on October 12th, and I'm a bit worried about being denied. They gave me some hassle when I went last time for a week in August (though ultimately they let me visit), so I'm just wondering what I can do to increase my chances of not being turned away. I have a return ticket to show (leaving November 24th) and a reason I should be back by a certain date (need to catch a flight out of Toronto with my parents to go to Cuba for our family vacation on November 26th). The problem last time was that my ties are not strong enough I think. My whole family is in Canada and I have a long term lease for my apartment in Canada, but I'm unemployed on ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program) so I'm guessing my lack of job and finances are a worry. What else can I do or prepare to help my case? I have travelled to the US several times this year, and have never overstayed, but in August they took me to the back room and grilled me quite a bit before finally letting me proceed, so I'm really nervous about this trip.
